Location: East entrance
This two-part work highlights the importance of water and plants in the past and future development of the Saint-Henri district. It recalls the presence of Lac à la Loutre and the Saint-Pierre River, which once flowed through the area. A legacy of industrialization, the Lachine Canal's body of water is now a precious access point to nature.
