A friend from home country who had moved to Canada few months prior to my arrival in Mons reminded me: always check out the local newspaper! A rich source of information. He said it's important to get the view of our new place.
Every week, we got Vlan and Passe-Partout delivered to our mailbox for free, with a bundle of shopping catalogs, while it's less frequent for the Mons magazine.
They help me to understand about the town, provide the schedule for upcoming events and different kind of activities around the region. Also give me the chance to learn new words.
Both have classifieds portals, in case we need to look for house, apartment, used car, etc.
