On July 1, Laurier Ouest vibrated to the rhythm of jazz with two OFF JAZZ performances presented as part of the 45th Festival International de Jazz de Montréal and the 150th anniversary of the Outremont district. A festive occasion marked by music, encounters and the discovery of Chien Champion‘s original work on the public piano in Place Kate-McGarrigle, realized thanks to the support of Benjamin Moore. This event brought together many of the district’s key players to celebrate Canada Day, and was part of our summer cultural program for the avenue: Spotlight on Laurier W

Embellishment and landscaping !

If you’ve taken a stroll down the avenue this spring, you’ve no doubt noticed the new look of Laurier Ouest. Freshly deployed banners, designed by the Paprika agency, redefine the visual identity of the thoroughfare with a bold, elegant graphic signature. As for the Peacock boutique, a floral design carefully conceived around two seasonal themes adds a touch of freshness and color. Every detail has been thought out to make Laurier Ouest a lively, distinctive and always inspiring place.
