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...

Tam-Tams

Highlight • Monument

In the shadow of the George-Etienne Cartier monument in Mount Royal Park, many musicians come together in the warm months every Sunday to pursue their hobby together. It's like a small festival that is completed with artisans and street vendors.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This pedestrian path meanders around Mont-Royal. It was named in memory of Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect who designed Mount Royal Park. This section will take you past the Monument to Sir George-Etienne Cartier. In summer, pay attention to your surroundings, you may come across prairie dogs there.
