For the last couple weeks, the cross atop Mount Royal has not illuminated the night skyline. The 80-year-old structure is being sand-blasted, repainted and refitted with new multi-coloured, energy-efficient lights. This million-dollar makeover is supposed to be finished in February 2009.

I wonder what colours – besides the traditional white and passed-pope-purple – the new cross will feature?

  1. Really? You have to guess? It will turn blue of course. I’ll give you three guesses as to when and why.

  2. Blue on St. Jean-Baptiste! (also red for AIDS awareness)

    What do I win?

  3. How about pink for Gay Pride week? (DiversCité)?

  4. The cross goes pink for pride… that’ll be the day.
