In the spirit of its long-term commitment to promoting the growth and success of small businesses, Yellow Pages Group will kick off the first edition of Taste Your Neighbourhood in Montreal on September 21, in collaboration with the Montreal Urban Ecology Centre (MUEC). Eleven free guided walking tours lasting 90 minutes each, will take people through the streets of various Montreal neighbourhoods to discover what local restaurants, cafes and breweries are offering.

Led by knowledgeable guides-foodies from the area who know the ins and outs of their respective districts-those who join Taste Your Neighbourhood walks will learn about the history of each community directly from the mouths of its local culinary artisans. Participants will be introduced to hidden local gems and have the chance to experience the uniqueness of the city's neighbourhoods through their taste buds.

"Taste Your Neighbourhood is part of our My Neighbourhood First initiative, which embodies our ongoing commitment to developing strong, sustainable neighbourhoods," explained Andre Leblanc, Director, Marketing Communications for Yellow Pages Group. "As residents, our purchases can make a different in our communities. Local shopping directly contributes to the prosperity of our neighbourhoods and helps small businesses grow and thrive."

"There's a demand for original walks, like Taste Your Neighbourhood, that give you a chance to discover or get reacquainted with the city in a new light, through someone else's eyes," shares Julie Rocheleau, MUEC's Executive Director. "When you create more opportunities for those involved in local development to meet each other and exchange ideas, it adds to the urban experience and to each neighbourhood's vitality."

Yellow Pages Group's Taste Your Neighbourhood is a part of MUEC's People-friendly Streets 2013 program who brings together more than 60 local businesses and association representatives.

Further details on routes, participating neighbourhoods and registration for Taste Your Neighbourhood walks are available at tasteyourneighbourhood.ca. Registration is required and spaces are limited.
