Parks Canada shortly will start major rehabilitation work on the Wolfe-Montcalm monument in Governors’ Garden beside the Château Frontenac Hotel.
The work, which is funded through the Canadian government’s Accelerated Infrastructure Program, is necessary because of the monument’s age and general condition.
Starting April 12, Parks Canada historical restorers will completely dismantle the memorial. They will be assisted in this task by Genivar, the engineering firm responsible for labelling and measuring the stones.
The Wolfe-Montcalm monument will then be rebuilt, mainly using new stones. The objective is to restore the monument to its original beauty and sturdiness.
Unveiled in 1828, the 20-metre-high obelisk honours the two historic figures who died in battle on September 13, 1759.
