Walking tours
Explore Montreal and uncover some of its unknown history with these audio walking tours from members and affiliates of Concordia’s Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS).
Talking Violence
One of COHDS’ student affiliates, Fred Burrill, created this audiowalk about Saint-Henri, that explores the area’s struggles over gentrification.
Starting at Lionel-Groulx Metro, this bilingual, guided audiowalk of the working class yet rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood explores themes of political and structural violence.

Refugee Boulevard
Led by Concordia affiliate professor Stacey Zembrzycki, a team of COHDS community affiliates created an audio walk for Mile End called Refugee Boulevard.
This project was beautifully co-created with survivors of the Holocaust themselves, who came to Montreal as children and helped to shape the neighbourhood around Jeanne-Mance park.
