Archaeological Digs: Be Part of the Discoveries!

The City of Pointe-Claire invites you to dive into the history of the Village of Pointe-Claire on Monday, August 10, from 3 to 7 p.m., at the corner of Demers and Sainte-Anne avenues, as part of Pointe-Claire Summer Showcase.

This activity is free of charge and offers a unique opportunity to meet the archaeologists from Artéfactuel, discover artifacts, and learn more about the findings made during the excavations.

Come with your family or friends to uncover a part of Pointe-Claire’s history and chat with those helping bring the City’s heritage to life.

Do you have treasures to share?

Do you have archival photos of Saint-Joachim and Sainte-Anne avenues? The City of Pointe-Claire and Artéfactuel invite you to bring them and share them during the activity.

Your images could contribute to archaeological research and help better document the history of the area.

An authorization form will be available on site to allow the use of your photos as part of the research.

Come share your memories and take part in the discoveries!
