Friends of the Argo! We thank you for your support and understanding as we continue to have a mask policy in place for in-store browsing and events. As much as we all would wish that Covid was no longer a part of our world, infections are still occurring, including in Montreal, and it's important for us to do what we can to help our staff and customers stay in good health. A number of the people who work at the Argo have immune-compromised members of their immediate family, and for their safety as well, we thank you. We will continue providing free masks at the front of the store for anyone who needs one, as we know many people may not usually carry them right now.

We want to remind you too that we still do delivery! We recently partnered with Courant Plus, a green and carbon-free local business, which means that our delivery area is even bigger than before. We now deliver everywhere on the Island of Montreal, as well as Laval and much of the South Shore! Local delivery is a flat rate of $8.50 (plus tax), but it's free for any purchase of $100 or more. And if you live outside of our local delivery area, we're still happy to ship to you; rates for elsewhere in Quebec (and some parts of Ontario) range from $15 to $25, but we'll let you know on a case-by-case basis.

Have a great summer!

Moti and Adele
 

The Argo Bookshop is located on the unceded lands of the Kanien'kehà:ka people, part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The area has long been - and continues to be - a gathering place for many First Peoples, including the Huron/Wendat, Abenaki, and Anishinaabeg. The Argo Bookshop enthusiastically stocks a large selection of books by Indigenous authors and strives to directly support Indigenous organizations in our neighbourhood. We invite you to examine your relationship to the land you occupy and to support Indigenous groups active in your area; for organizations near the Argo, you could check out Native Montreal (an organisation that strives to contribute to the holistic health, cultural strength and success of Indigenous families, individuals, and community living in the greater Montreal area) and Resilience Montreal (a day shelter situated on the corner of Atwater and Sainte Catherine, offering food, a place to sleep, clean clothes, and support to anyone in need).
