With summer approaching and nature in full bloom, have a special thought for your beautiful mountain at the heart of Montreal and donate to Les amis de la montagne's fundraising campaign.
Les amis de la montagne concluded the third and final day of environmental conservation activities on Sunday, May 7 as part of the 26th annual Mount Royal Clean-Up.
Launched on April 5 by Les amis de la montagne, the citizens’ campaign entitled “We love our Mountain. Let’s support UNESCO status for Mount Royal.” is a success!
Les amis de la montagne benefits from the help of hundreds of dedicated volunteers involved in projects protecting and enhancing Mount Royal. Every year, Les amis, in collaboration with Manulife, salutes this effort by recognizing one person’s outstanding service.
The 20th edition of the Tuques Bleues benefit event brought together close to 400 snowshoers and 75 runners on a snow-laden Mount Royal last Thursday evening, February 16.
In the past few years, recreational snowshoeing has grown in popularity throughout the province, including on Mount Royal! The peace and quiet of the forest, the wonderful views of the city, and the grade of the slopes which provide the occasional challenge even for the more athletic, make our mountain an ideal place for snowshoers.
Les amis de la montagne is thrilled with Mount Royal’s application to be considered for inclusion on Canada’s Tentative List for World Heritage Sites. This is the first step towards Mount Royal’s possible recognition as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The first phase of an important landscaping project designed by the City of Montréal, undertaken to build the missing part of a footpath linking the park’s main staircase to the Kondiaronk Belvedere and the Mount Royal Chalet, is now complete.
