#Édifice Lucien-Saulnier

The British, under General Jeffery Amherst, marched from Lachine through Nazareth Fief (the name used for Griffintown at this time), through the Recollet Gate and into the walled city of Montreal. The Articles of Capitulation of Montreal were signed on September 8 1760, in the British camp before the city of Montréal. Most of the North American fighting ended with the surrender of Montréal.

Place des Montréalaises, Montreal

The new Place des Montrealaises, located in the area around the Champ-de-Mars metro station, will become a crossroads between downtown and Old Montréal.

In September 2018, the city unveiled the winner of the international, pluridisciplinary architecture competition to design the new public square.

The concept proposed by the team composed of Lemay + Angela Silver + SNC-Lavalin was retained from among four other finalists.

With the commemoration of women as a unifying theme, the design concept is characterized by a field of flowers that rises southwards to join Champ-de-Mars.

This inclined design will partially cover the Saint-Antoine ramp, which is one of the exits from the Ville-Marie Expressway, and links the Champ-de-Mars metro station to Old Montréal. It offers both a resting place and a gathering place, as well as a view of the city and a perfect space for wandering about.

In addition to its inclined design and its field of flowers, the square will include several distinctive spaces, including a mobility hub, a multi-purpose esplanade and a wooded area.

Among the qualities that the international landscape architecture competition jury considered were:

- A strong identity and contemporary lettering

- A significant reduction of the presence of the highway exit ramp

- A sensitive and thoroughly developed commemoration approach

- An enriching, immersive experience that invites wandering and lingering

- Plantings that change with the seasons

Architecture in Montréal (No. 8)

Édifice Ernest-Cormier was the second courthouse in Montreal to bear the name Palais de justice de Montréal. It was built between 1922 and 1926, and designed by architects Louis-Auguste Amos, Charles Jewett Saxe and Ernest Cormier. It was the first major commission for Cormier after his return to Montreal from his studies in Paris. After Cormier's death in 1980, the building was renamed in his honour. It currently houses the Quebec Court of Appeal.

It is located at 100 Notre-Dame Street East, across the street from both the first Palais de justice de Montréal, Édifice Lucien-Saulnier, and the current courthouse.
