The Great Wall of Montreal

The L'Acadie Fence

From: Walls

$2.50

This chapter is about the l’Acadie Fence, a little-known barrier that separates the communities of Parc-Extension and the Town of Mount Royal (TMR) in downtown Montreal, Quebec. Parc-X is a historically working-class immigrant neighbourhood, while TMR is historically rich and anglophone. The author illuminates the history of this divide, its implications, and the perspective of Parc-X’s inhabitants.
