Nouveau Queer Blog
Yes, this is a blog, but it's also a great reference for upcoming dyke events in Montreal and it also offers a fun look at dyke life in the city. Don't worry about the French name, it's all written in English.

Another queer English language support and referral line, run by Queer McGill at

Online reference that gives you a block-by-block breakdown of clubs, restaurants and stores in the gay village.
The Gay and Lesbian Community Centre of Montreal
Home to tons of resources and LGBT social groups, but one of the best things they offer is the Open Book Library, one of the very few documentation centres on homosexuality in Canada and one of the largest in the French-speaking world.
