Historic Monument of Georges-Etienne Cartier Montreal

Opposite Jeanne Mancet Park, east of Mont Royal, stands a monument to Sir Georges-Étienne Cartier, one of the founders of the Canadian Confederation. This 40-meter monument is the pride of the city. It is guarded by four bronze lions. In addition, the statue includes front and rear figures symbolizing the nine provinces of the time, figures on the sides symbolizing legislation, and a Monument to the Throne of Glory at the top.

The project was designed by architects Marchand, Haskell and Maxwell. The monument was created by sculptor George Hill. The monument was completed in 1914. It was made in Brussels.
