Quote from 1865 on the monument: "We are of different races not for strife but to work together for the common welfare". And how little have we learned from it to this day...

It is an emblematic monument of Montreal, a meeting point for many inhabitants of the Plateau.
During the summer months, every Sunday noon takes place what is commonly called the “Mount Royal Tam-tams”, a spontaneous gathering of percussionists and dancers.

The Monument to Sir George-Étienne Cartier was created by George William Hill after he won the tender in 1912. After some delay, the monument was erected in 1919. The monument consists of 18 bronze figures, with the figure of Sir George-Étienne Cartier towering above all the others. Below his figure, two standing groups of statues represent the four provinces that joined the Confederation in 1867.
