Spring has “finally sprung”! Easter Sunday was (or seemed to be) the warmest day, so far, of the year.

Westmount’s Conservatory
Westmount’s closed conservatory – referred to as “greenhouses” by the city’s residents. They were constructed in 1927 and had undergone a one-million dollar renovation ten years ago.
Recently, a pane of glass fell from the structure’s ceiling – narrowly missing a visitor.
Last week, the city used a drone (seriously!) as part of a much larger effort to assess the current structural damage and eventually restore this historic building.

Westmount Park – Another felled tree
During the past couple of days yellow caution tape was blocking a portion of the park’s paths. This morning the city started to remove another mature (Lime) tree to ensure pedestrian safety. I couldn’t ascertain the tree’s age (the boughs were cut in a jagged fashion) – my guess is that it was nearly 100 years old.

Westmount Park
The approach of Spring invariably coincides with the cutting of the park’s (unsafe) trees. Counting the rings on this latest casualty showed that it had graced the park for over 80 years.

Waiting for Spring to arrive as we walk through the park -there is a hopeful sign: the lagoons are starting to thaw.
