CN 105, CN 106, CN 104 and 16 coaches rumble across the curved trestle at mile 92 of the Soo Sub at Montreal Falls, ON on October 5, 2021. This train, the Agawa Canyon Tour Train (P633), was operating for the first Autumn season since 2019, as the 2020 excursions were cancelled due to Covid. This was also the final year that CN ran the tour train, having agreed in March of 2021 to sell the ACR, south of Oba, to Watco.
The Ring (Revisited)
The Ring, an art installation with a timeless character symbolizing the strong connexion between Montreal, PVM, Montrealers, and visitors from around the world.
Designed by the internationally renowned Quebec creator Claude Cormier and his landscape architecture and urban design firm CCxA The Ring highlights the dynamism of the downtown core and is a testatement to its cultural vibrancy.
The 30-metre diameter art installation is suspended at the main entrance of the recently revitalized Esplanade PVM, establishing it as a preferred gathering place.

Marche Maisonneuve on rue Ontario & La Fermière Monument. This monument refers to Louise Mauger (1598-1690).
Born in France in 1598, she married Pierre Gadoys, around 1620, and had three children, two born in France and the last one in Quebec City. In 1648, her husband received from Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve, the first concession of Montreal, a land of 40 acres (160,000 m2), making him the first farmer in Montreal. She was buried on March 18, 1690 in Montreal.
The monument was completed in 1915.

Montréal, c'est une ville touristique.
À part le Vieux-Montréal, le parc du Mont Royal et son belvedère sont les endroits incontournables de la ville. Il y a quelques années, j'ai eu le plaisir d'accueillir France, une amie Flickr de Vancouver. Elle pose devant une partie du centre-ville, le fleuve Saint-Laurent et la rive sud en arrière-plan.
Pour les Montréalais et les touristes, le point de vue devant le chalet du parc du Mont-Royal est un incontournable. C’est en 1906, 40 ans après l’inauguration du chemin Olmsted, que l’on remplace le belvédère rudimentaire en bois par une terrasse d’observation en demi-cercle et trois pavillons d’été reliés par des galeries.
Montreal is a tourist city.
Apart from Old Montreal, Mont Royal Park and its belvedere are the city's must-see places. A few years ago, I had the pleasure of welcoming France, a Flickr friend from Vancouver. She poses in front of a part of downtown, the St. Lawrence River and the south shore in the background.
For Montrealers and tourists alike, the viewpoint in front of the Mont-Royal Park chalet is a must. It was in 1906, 40 years after the opening of Olmsted Road, that the rudimentary wooden gazebo was replaced by a semi-circular observation deck and three summer pavilions connected by galleries.
