Sunday 5 May 2013, 2 pm\u20134 pm<\/strong> Join us for a walk aimed at discovering Mile End\u2019s rich religious heritage in the context of urban activist Jane Jacobs\u2019s ideas about livable neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n Over the last century, Mile End\u2019s diverse collection of churches, synagogues and prayer halls has been used by local residents not only for religious practice and education but also for a host of other celebrations, social gatherings and meetings. The architectural expression of these buildings, some purpose-built and others converted residential or commercial structures, varies from simple to elaborate, and most of them are still used today for religious, cultural or community purposes. Over time, the majority have welcomed two, three or four congregations representing different religious communities, testifying to the settlement, over the course of the 20th century, of a succession of ethnic communities in the neighbourhood, which is rich in cultural history.<\/p>\n This Jane\u2019s Walk, adapted from a walking tour offered for the first time in 2002, celebrates the 10th anniversary of the foundation of Mile End Memories, an organization dedicated to the promotion of the history, culture and heritage of the Mile End neighbourhood. It complements the walk offered by the Interactive Museum of Jewish Montreal on Sunday morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n Language :<\/strong> Bilingual<\/p>\n Starting point : <\/strong>Lahaie Park, in front of Saint-Enfant-J\u00e9sus Church (5039 Saint Dominique Street, between Saint Joseph Boulevard West and Laurier Avenue West)<\/p>\n By public transportation : <\/strong>Laurier metro or buses 51\u2013\u00c9douard-Montpetit or 55\u2013Saint-Laurent<\/p>\n
