A Trail Through the Islands is a pilot project in event signage developed in collaboration with Intégral Jean Beaudoin, the design studio.

In making tangible and accessible a 10-km pedestrian path, Parc Jean-Drapeau promotes walking and physical activity on its site.

The project will be developed based on input from the public and as part of current and future transformations at Parc Jean-Drapeau. You are invited to send your comments to [email protected]
