Paroles de Paysages – Mount Royal from Three Perspectives

News - Intro image

Spearheaded by Les Amis de la montagne with the support of the City of Montréal and Québec’s Ministère de la Culture et des Communications, the Paroles de Paysages project enables visitors to explore the mountain’s natural and cultural heritage from the standpoint of three of its most iconic sites: the Mount Royal Chalet and Kondiaronk Belvedere, the Beaver Lake Pavilion and Tiohtià:ke Otsira’kéhne Park on the Outremont Summit.

The main objective is to offer the public the chance to learn about diverse and important aspects of Mount Royal through a variety of themes such as the mountain’s biodiversity, landscape, architecture, history, Indigenous presence and conservation.

The main objective is to offer the public the chance to learn about diverse and important aspects of Mount Royal through a variety of themes such as the mountain’s biodiversity, landscape, architecture, history, Indigenous presence and conservation.

The three-year project comprises two components: information kiosks at all three sites staffed by our dedicated educators and conservationists, and a program of free cultural activities, which began in summer 2022.

The kiosk, which will highlight several themes relating to Mount Royal’s landscapes, history and culture, will be in Tiohtià:ke Otsira’kéhne Park on the Outremont summit and at the Kondiaronk Belvedere on Saturday and Sunday afternoons this fall, and then at the Beaver Lake Pavilion this winter. 

So if you happen to visit Mount Royal this fall or winter, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Paroles de Paysages kiosk; we guarantee that our experts will send you away with a lot more information about the mountain than you came with!
