Fun shopping for STM customers: On May 19 and 20, celebrate spring on Saint-Denis street!

Press release

Montréal, May 17, 2012  –  The STM invites the public to celebrate spring on Saint-Denis Street. A collaborative venture between the STM and the Société de développement commercial Pignons rue Saint-Denis, the shopping event will take place on Saturday, May 19 and Sunday, May 20, between Gilford and Roy Streets.

Upon presentation of a valid transit fare card, STM customers will benefit from exclusive promotions provided by 107 participating retailers. Shoppers will be entertained by 14 outdoor activities and artistic performances hosted by the SDC.

This spring celebration is part of another Fun shopping with us, by métro and bus event aimed at encouraging Montrealers to use public transit, a responsible environmental action while avoiding parking woes. This Fun Shopping with us campaign aims to achieve sustainable partnerships with business owners located within STM’s network by inviting them to join its “Society in Motion”.

Finally, customers will recognize participating retailers by the identifying Society in Motion sticker and the event’s promotional poster found on the door or in the window of commercial establishments. Further information is available on the STM website or on the SDC website at www.rue-st-denis.ca.
