Radio-Canada Grand Montréal introduced a new interactive online map on July 27, 2026 that links every region of Quebec with a distinct musical piece. The digital platform invites visitors to navigate the province’s geography while hearing a song chosen to represent each area’s cultural or natural character.
The map appears as a clickable representation of Quebec’s administrative divisions. Selecting a region triggers an audio player that streams the associated track, allowing users to hear the music while viewing basic geographic information such as the region’s name and location. The tool is accessible through Radio-Canada’s website and requires no special software beyond a web browser.
According to the broadcaster, the project aims to tell the story of Quebec’s landscape through sound, offering a sensory complement to traditional maps. By pairing music with place, Radio-Canada hopes to highlight the diversity of the province’s communities and environments, from urban centers to coastal towns and interior forests.
The initiative follows a broader trend of using digital media to engage audiences in cultural education. Radio-Canada Grand Montréal described the map as a way to reach listeners who may be more inclined to explore geography through auditory experiences rather than text alone. The interactive format also encourages repeated visits, as users can return to discover new tracks or revisit familiar ones.
The launch coincides with ongoing efforts by public broadcasters to expand their online offerings and to promote Quebec’s artistic heritage. While the map currently features a single song per region, Radio-Canada indicated that the collection may evolve as new music is added. The project is open to anyone with internet access, providing a free, immersive way to learn about the province’s varied regions through the universal language of music.
