One of them — Simonne Monet-Chartrand — was the spouse of Michel Chartrand, mentioned a few posts ago (union chief who is getting the prominade in LaSalle named after him).

I don’t mind the typography – I see it as a nod to old political letterpress posters with a kind of 90s Paula Scher (Pentagram) vibe. A bit old school, a bit fierce, totally communicating the urgency and celebration motifs.

Simonne Monet-Chartrand has a park named after her around Sherbrooke & St-Christophe.
Google streetview pic notes wearing high-heeled shoes there may be problematic.
