Can be a little slow as I've only seen one person man the counter at any given time. It seems like a small holding center for undeliverable items to all the secured condo buildings in the neighborhood. Regardless, the staff is very friendly. There is a large parking lot next to the building which makes it very convenient if you are sending a large package.

Not sure how many people are working at Service Canada at the moment but there is no way that if someone is getting their password would have it done today.

Both achilles tendons were begging me to stop. Clips of Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Tyrese Haliburton brutally ripping their achilles off the bone flashed through my mind. "It's not worth it... don't finish... 84k steps is plenty... what are you even doing this for?" It was just then, as I was toying with breaking the contract I inked with myself in blood, that I turned left onto Queen Mary Ave and saw Saint Josephs Church sitting on top of a hill. It was breathtaking. It felt like something out of the Legend of Zelda. My own Temple of Time. I love when the works of my own species inspire me. I began my ascent to the top. The sun was checking out for the day, and I realized this may be an all-time sunset view from the summit. I got half way up, turned around, and boom. A jolt of energy injected straight into my soul. Half the sun had disappeared behind the horizon, with warm vibrant colors blasting into the cotton candy sky. It was a top 10 sunset of my life, and I've been SPOILED with some great sunsets over the years. When I reached the staircase that led to the summit, it felt like the whole city of Montreal was out there. The city was ALIVE. I couldn't help but forget about the pain in my legs, my existential dread, and the most humid day of 2026 in Montreal. God's creation was on full display, and it felt like his way of telling me to keep pushing. If you're in Montreal, this is the best place to watch the sunset. THANK YOU ST JOES I NEEDED THAT!

As luck would have it, this landmark was at the midpoint of the public bus route, so we found a valid reason to hop off and explore the grounds. The view was quite impressive from Queen Mary Road as the structure represents both Canada's largest church and Montreal's highest point. Consequently, there were quite a few stairs to climb, though we discovered later there was a series of escalators that we could've taken if we weren't wearing our FitBits. By contrast, we saw the more devout pilgrims climbing the stairs face down on their knees. There were three major sections to explore. The cavernous Crypt Church was a broad, low-ceiling worship space supported by the barrel vaulting of steel-reinforced concrete arches (Photo 10). The adjoining Votive Chapel held 10,000 candles surrounding the statue of St. Joseph and other pious figures (Photo 8). The Shrine was the tallest place of worship dominated by the largest church dome in Canada (Photo 7). Lastly, the upper panoramic terrace not only affords impressive views of the city but also spotlights an imposing sculpture, Timothy Schmalz's "Angels Unawares" depicting a crowded boat of migrants and refugees (Photo 6).
