How distances work
Each distance on this page is a straight line from one of three city halls: Montréal, Québec City or Gatineau. They are computed from map coordinates, not driving distances. The distance tool runs the same figures for whichever of the three cities the reader picks. Every venue here is in Eastern Time. Some areas of Québec east of 63° West use Atlantic Time.
