This mural at 1005, rue Notre-Dame sits in Lachine, a borough on the southwest edge of Montreal, Canada. It is a piece of street art made in 2015 by the artist collective Artducommun, and it forms part of the city's graffiti and mural programme.
What to expect
The work was produced in partnership with Maison des Jeunes l'Escalier de Lachine, a youth centre in the neighbourhood, so it reflects a community project rather than a commercial commission. It is a street-level visit: you come to see the painting on the wall where it hangs, and you can take in the surrounding street at the same time.
- Location: 1005, rue Notre-Dame, Lachine, Montreal

Making the trip
Because the mural is outdoors, it is best seen in daylight, when colours and details are easiest to read. Lachine is quieter than central Montreal, so it suits a relaxed walk rather than a rushed stop. If you want more information about the piece, the City of Montreal keeps a public record of its murals, which you can find through the link listed for this work.
For a fuller day, pair this visit with other parts of Lachine or with the rest of the city's street-art sites, which are spread across many boroughs.
