A new shoreline park project is being developed in Montreal's Lachine borough. Once it's ready, Montrealers will be able to rent non-motorized boats, eat delicious local food, and even watch concerts. 

The City of Montreal joined forces with Aire Commune and the Festival de Musique Émergente to deliver a unique experience never before seen in Lachine.
