Press release | For immediate release

Montreal, March 13, 2020 - The Quartier des Spectacles Partnership is closely and continuously monitoring the evolving situation surrounding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

The Partnership will closely monitor the direct and indirect economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on venue operators in the Quartier and other stakeholders in the cultural industry.
