Place du Canada

Montreal, QC H3B 2V6

Also known as Dorchester Square (and even longer ago as Dominion Square), this historic park is only barely removed from the seething mass of humanity that surrounds it. Dominated to the east by the magnificent Sun Life Building and to the south by the Château Champlain hotel, the square offers local office workers a tranquil place to spend a lunch hour amidst statues of Prime Ministers Laurier and Macdonald, and various other monuments. Nearly half a million attended a pro-Canada rally here on the eve of the 1995 sovereignty referendum.
