You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History==
For almost two centuries, the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal has played a key role in the economic, social, and cultural growth of Montreal.

[[File:News. Chambre de commerce BAnQ P48S1P12288.jpg|thumb|left|1945 Board of Trade event]]
It was in 1822 that a group of about fifty merchants founded the committee of trade (Board of Trade) to promote the development of Montreal. In 1857, the organization set the wheels in motion to begin dredging the St. Lawrence River and build port facilities in Montreal able to handle ships with a large tonnage. In 1863 the Board of Trade founded the Port Warden's Office and the Corn Exchange.

In 1887, 135 merchants founded a French-speaking trade association, the Chambre de commerce du district de Montréal, which began to push for improved railroad connections in the metropolitan area. Five years later, in 1892, the Chambre proposed the creation of the [[HEC Montréal|École des Hautes Études Commerciales]], an internationally renowned institution that now welcomes 9,000 students from 60 countries. In 1940, the Chambre was also instrumental in promoting the complete restructuring of Montreal's municipal government.

In summer 1984, the Chambre de commerce du district de Montréal changed its name to the Chambre de commerce de Montréal.  Five years later, it changed names again, becoming the Chambre de commerce du Montréal métropolitain.  In 1992, that organization merged with the Montreal Board of Trade to become a single bilingual business association (the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal), the largest of its kind, who unites economic, social, and cultural stakeholders in Greater Montreal.

In 2002, following the creation of the new city of Montreal and the Montreal Metropolitan Community, the Board of Trade reaffirmed its resolutely metropolitan vision of development. At the same time, it updated its operating procedures to reflect these new realities and better respond to the new challenges they bring with them.

In 2003, it continued this restructuring by consolidating its affiliates – including Info enterprises and the World Trade Centre Montreal – which became branches of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal. These new branches aimed to enable the Board of Trade to offer specialized services to Quebec's greater business community in the areas of providing information about funding and company start-up programs and exports.<ref name="history">((cite web|url=http://www.ccmm.ca/en/about-us/history/|title=History|publisher=Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal |archive-date=August 26, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120826053820/http://www.btmm.qc.ca/en/boardoftrade-history ))</ref>

In 2016, the Board of Trade changed its name to the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal.
