dc.descriptionView looking northeast along the east flank; Place Émilie-Gamelin (known informally as Berri Square), is a city square and park in central Montreal. It was created in the 1980's to mark the 350th anniversary of the city (and named Place du 350e). Bordered by Berri Street, Saint Hubert Street, Saint Catherine Street and De Maisonneuve Boulevard, the square is adjacent to the transportation hubs of Berri UQAM Metro Station and Station centrale d'autobus, as well as UQAM and the Grande Bibliothèque du Québec. The north end of the square features the metal sculpture Skyscraper, Waterfall, Roads, Brooks... a Construction by artist Melvin Charney (also the original architect of the park). The park is now named for Roman Catholic nun Émilie Gamelin, founder of the Sisters of Providence religious community, which had operated a convent on the land, until its demolition in the 1960s during the construction of the Montreal Metro. The park is the gateway to the Latin Quarter. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/12/2010)en_US
