Cremazie monument, Montreal, 1906

Montreal Standard, 21 July 1906

First monument ever erected in Canada to a Canadian poet – the Cremazie Memorial on St Louis Square, Montreal, recently unveiled with appropriate ceremonies. It is not a large affair, but it is one of the most artistic monuments on the American continent, and is the work of Phillippe Hebert, a Canadian sculptor. Cremazie was one of the famous French Canadian bards of the 19^th century, his most noted poem being “Le Drapeau de Carillon,” the hero in which is perpetuated in the figure at the base of the monument.
