This mural by Olivier Bonnard stands at 5945 boulevard Gouin Ouest, in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough of Montreal, Canada. It was painted in 2017 and is one of the works produced under the city's Programme d'art mural, second component, organized by the community group Prévention du crime Ahuntsic-Cartierville.
What to expect
It is a street-art piece, so the visit is simple: you come to look at the wall itself, from the pavement along boulevard Gouin Ouest. Because it sits on a busy east-west boulevard, it suits a short stop during a walk or a drive through the neighbourhood rather than a trip planned around it alone.
