One of my favourite things about the area around the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks in Mile End is that they seethe with life: there’s always something going on along them, and often enough, it’s something creative. In a vacant lot at the corner of St. Urbain and Van Horne, the artist Glen Lemesurier has created a sculpture garden, a surreal collection of art made from recycled materials. It’s a particularly well-located garden, too, located at the end of the CPR bike path at a spot where many people cross over the tracks.

Le Devoir’s Odile Tremblay wrote a nice feature on Lemesurier’s sculpture garden last August; read it here.
