Plane crashes in Parc de Dieppe
CBC says a small plane crashed near St Helen’s Island, Saturday evening. It had been towing a banner. TVA says one person has died and another was injured. TVA also specifies that the plane landed in Parc de Dieppe, at the tip of Cité du Havre, and La Presse tells us the crash didn’t affect the Osheaga site.
Apparently the banner read “Veux-tu m’épouser?” – “Chantal will you marry me❤️” – an unauspicious omen for the engagement.
Update: La Presse has much more detail Sunday morning, including a confirmation that it indeed was the same plane that made an emergency landing on Park Avenue in 2006. What won’t be known for awhile yet is the cause of the crash Saturday.
Nobody has yet succeeded in talking to the person who commissioned the banner, nor to the Chantal named on it.

Rumors are that it was the same plane that made an emergency landing on Ave du Parc in 2006.

I was at the tam tams when that plane made the emergency landing on Parc back in 2006. I had been living in the city for about a week at that point and it seemed like something crazy was happening every day. That plane really took the cake though!

I’m shocked that it’s still allowed to trail a big sign in English over the city.

A complaint to the OQLF could be underway.
