The GTA closures will leave just one Ontario store located in Ottawa. There are 14 others across Alberta, B.C., Nova Scotia and Quebec. Decathlon entered the Canadian market in 2018 with a Brossard, Que., store. The company expanded steadily ever since, going head-to-head with established domestic players like Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. and its Sport Chek banner.

Montreal asking rents up nearly 71% in six years, according to Stats Canada
A new Statistics Canada report says asking rent in Montreal has risen by nearly 71 per cent since 2019. Average asking rent for a two-bedroom apartment was $1,930 in the first quarter of 2025, up from $1,130 six years ago. Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day. Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Asking rents have roughly doubled in some other Quebec cities, including Drummondville and Sherbrooke. Montreal ranked 17th for average asking rent among Canadian cities in 2025, well behind Vancouver at $3,170, and Toronto at $2,690. But asking rent has increased by just 27 per cent in Vancouver over the last six years, and only five per cent in Toronto. The report notes that asking rents tend to be higher than rents paid by long-term tenants, and offer a picture of current market trends.
