    Montreal Metro

    The Montreal metro opened on 14 October 1966. The second Canadian subway system after Toronto’s, which opened in 1954, the Montreal metro was the first subway in North America to run on rubber tires instead of metal wheels (see Toronto Subway). Extensions to the Montreal metro were built on Montreal Island over the two decades after it opened, and then to the city of Laval, on the island of Île Jésus, during the 2000s. The system runs entirely underground, and each station has a distinct architecture and design. The metro consists of four lines running a total of 71 km and serving 68 stations. The metro is managed by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM), the city’s transit agency.

    Montreal Protocol

    The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, known simply as the Montreal Protocol, is an international environmental agreement. It regulates the consumption and production of approximately 100 man-made, ozone-depleting chemicals. The Montreal Protocol is so named because it was initially signed in Montreal on 16 September 1987. To date, the Montreal Protocol is the only United Nations treaty that every country in the world has ratified.

    Monuments of the First and Second World Wars

    Since the end of the First World War, monuments commemorating the lives of Canadians who died in conflicts overseas have occupied a prominent place in our urban cultural landscape. Most were erected in the 1920s and 1930s and represent a commitment never to forget Canadian lives sacrificed in the First World War. The Second World War's claims on Canadian lives reinforced this commitment. In an era when few monuments to contemporary national heroes or great historical events are erected, war monuments retain their capacity to erase time and preserve a memory of those who died for their country.

    Moon

    The moon is a natural satellite of Earth, with a mean diameter of 3,476 km and a mass of 7.28 x 1022 kg (1.23 per cent of Earth's mass). Three moons of Jupiter and one of Saturn are larger; the dwarf planet Pluto is smaller. The moon's mean distance from Earth is 384,500 km, and its orbit takes 29.5306 days from one New Moon to the next. The moon shines only by reflected sunlight, appearing as a crescent when it is within 90° of the sun. Except near New Moon, it is second only to the sun in brightness. Tidal effects of Earth have forced the moon's rotation to match its orbital period; hence, one side of the moon always faces Earth, and only 59 per cent of its surface is visible. Because it is so close, the moon's influence exceeds the sun's as the cause of tides on Earth. The moon has been important in religion and art since the earliest records of human culture and has served as the basis for the lunar calendar.

    Moose

    Moose are the largest living member of the deer family (Cervidae). Four subspecies are found in Canada: the Alaska/Yukon moose (Alces alces gigas), the Shiras moose (Alces alces shirasi), the western Canada moose (Alces alces andersoni) and the eastern Canada moose (Alces alces americana). They live in every province and territory except Prince Edward Island. Often considered a symbol of Canada, the moose is featured on Ontario’s provincial coat of arms.

    Moravian Missions in Labrador

    In 1771, Moravian missionaries were the first Europeans to settle in Labrador. Over a 133-year period, they established a series of eight missions along the coast which became the focus of religious, social and economic activities for the Inuit who gradually came to settle near the communities. Moravians had a huge impact on the life and culture of Labrador Inuit. What emerged was a unique culture rooted in Inuit traditions with indigenized European practices. The last Moravian missionary left Labrador in 2005, but the Moravian church, its customs and traditions are still very much alive in Labrador.
