Montreal, November 17, 2006 - As part of the celebrations for the métro’s 40th anniversary, the STM organized a contest where participants could win one of forty one-year subscriptions to monthly CAM passes.

Held October 12 - 30, the contest received over 162 000 entries. The STM is pleased by the public’s overwhelming response to both the contest and the other activities that have made the métro’s 40th birthday such a successful event.

Participants could enter by either filling out a contest entry form published in the métro daily newspaper or available in electronic format from the STM website. Entry forms were accepted until midnight, October 30.

A draw was held at the STM head office on November 7, 2006, attended by Claude Archambault, from the STM Auditor general’s office, Mohammed Chkikar, from the STM’s Legal Affairs department, and by Lyse Faucher and Annie Michaud, from the STM’s Communications department.
