Place des Montréalaises inaugurated

Place des Montréalaises was inaugurated Friday by Mayor Plante. The space adjoins Champ‑de‑Mars metro station.

Montreal marks 382 years Saturday as a European‑style settlement on this island, but let’s not forget that it was inhabited at various points by other cultures long before 1642.

To mark the anniversary, the city accorded the Order of Montreal to 17 worthies.
