Samuel De Champlain Bridge: Rainbow Lighting on Sundays in August to Support A Safe Restart

Montreal, Quebec, July 29, 2020—The Samuel De Champlain Bridge will continue to shine its rainbow lights on Sunday nights from 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. during the month of August as the country gets started to safely restart the economy.

“Citizens of the Greater Montreal area, and throughout the country, are moving toward a safe restart of our economy as we live through the COVID-19 pandemic. Every Sunday night throughout August the rainbow lights on the Samuel De Champlain Bridge will remind everyone how important it is to keep everyone safe while more people prepare to return to work, school, and recreational activities. Let’s stay vigilant and work together to build a more resilient and prosperous future.”

— The Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities
