Heritage Montreal – Grand Prix de l’Opération patrimoine Montréal : édition 2022 :
Architecture, landscapes, archaeology, and know-how are just a few examples of the tangible and intangible heritage that forge Montréal's identity. The Grands Prix de l'Opération patrimoine Montréal, presented by the Ville de Montréal in partnership with Héritage Montréal, highlight the efforts of the population to preserve this common wealth.
********************************************************************
In partnership with the Ville de Montréal, we were pleased to present the "Agir ensemble Award" to the AmiEs de la Craig. This award was given to a group that has helped to highlight a site or area of interest in the city - in this case, the old Craig Pumping Station, built in 1887. The AmiEs de la Craig have been successful in promoting the history and heritage of the old pumping station through various initiatives.
