Show venues in Quebec can get a little more crowded started today.
Venues with assigned seating such as cinemas, theatres and amphitheatres — including Montreal's Bell Centre — no longer have restrictions on the number of people they take in.

There are exceptions when it comes to the use of the vaccination passport, however. For events such as graduation ceremonies, large meetings and assemblies, proof of vaccination status is not required — unless the number of people attending surpasses 250.
