Step 2: The Population

Then title it "Population in 1905" and write in the description the number of inhabitants in Quebec province at that time.

For the population of Quebec in 1980, you must place another POINT OF INTEREST marker, this time on the city of Montreal. Title it "Population of 1980" and write the number of inhabitants in Quebec at that time in its description. Take care to properly Zoom and put your icon right in Montreal.
