Work has started\u00a0on renovating Place du Canada. The work is scheduled to\u00a0take 18 months and cost around $9 million. Being the former Saint Antoine Cemetery, an interesting note in regard to the work involved, is that around 150-200 bodies are to be moved and reinterred in Notre-Dames-des-Neiges Cemetery…although there’s believed to be up to 38,000\u00a0human remains beneath the park.<\/p>\n

The same landscape architecture firm that carried out the recent Dorchester Square renovation are also in charge of the Place du Canada project. The renovation includes\u00a0the planting of nearly 100 trees, granite walkways, lawns, flower gardens and new lighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
