Unveiling of a historical mural at Place Iona-Monahan

Committed to revitalizing the fashion and business district and using art as a vector for development, the SDC (Société de développement commercial) District central entrusted multidisciplinary artist Jacques Lebleu to create a mural honouring the historical character of the Chabanel district as an economic hub. 

Selected by a panel of local stakeholders, his work can be admired at Place Iona-Monahan, on the corner of Chabanel St. and Esplanade Ave. Through this artistic and colourful gesture, the SDC District central hopes to shed some light on Iona Monahan, a pioneering journalist and fashion champion, and create a distinct place, accessible to local workers and representatives of this dynamic and vibrant area.

The SDC District central, in collaboration with the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough, invites you to the unveiling of the Iona and the Catwalk mural on September 20th at noon and gives you the opportunity to delve into the universe of textile industry trades through animations.

In case of rain, the event will be reported to 125 Chabanel.
