If you are in Parc La Fontaine between now and October, you can experience the ephemeral art installation « Sur les traces du boisé Papineau // In Search of the Papineau Woods » by @lorenwilliams_studio. Throughout the park, discover botanical images of plants that grew in the woods 200 years ago, where Parc La Fontaine is now situated.
