Out & About: SEGD climbs Mont Royal in Montreal CANADA

SEGD's Montreal Conference broke into "workshops on wheels" Thursday afternoon when participants from all corners of the globe explored Montreal. EA joined the group hike on Mont Royal (Mont Real), after which the city is named and where we enjoyed panoramic views in all directions.

Begun in 1874, Mont Royal features a lookout and park design by Frederick Law Olmstead, designer of New York City's Central Park.

The city of Montreal is an island located at the confluence of the St. Lawrence (shown above) and Ottawa Rivers.


Parlez vous francais? In Montreal, as in all Quebec province, French is the official language - and that means no bilingual signs!
