On Thursday 22 November 2018, Mile End Memories celebrated its 15th anniversary at the Rialto Theatre. We also took the opportunity to highlight the remarkable restoration of this Montreal heritage jewel, an important pole of the neighborhood cultural scene. Two “illustrators-in-residence”, Pascal Girard<\/a> and Michel Hellman<\/a>, sketched the proceedings during the evening. Here is a souvenir album of the event. Unless otherwise indicated, photos are by Joanie Fortin<\/a>.<\/p>\n
