With the MosaiCanada 150 exhibit at Jacques Cartier Park coming to a close Sunday, all signs point to the event being far bigger than anyone had anticipated.
The horticultural wonder featured numerous living sculptures that have been pared and pruned by specialists to capture scenes or showcase elements that relate to Confederation’s 150-year history. Some scenes have hockey players jumping in the air, others depict Indigenous Peoples, and some show Canadian wildlife.
Here’s a quick look back at the event, by the numbers.
Crowds were out in Gatineau’s Jacques Cartier Park on Saturday to take in the last weekend for MosaïCanada150, a one-kilometre path that winds through forty different horticulture arrangements. After this weekend, the dismantling will begin.
