A note from Lorraine Ferns
“I love lots of colour, whether I'm crocheting, sewing or playing with art supplies. I just love dabbling and making things. When I'm not at home cuddling up with my cat, attempting to write something, I'm out grocery shopping with my mum.”

Old Montréal context
A riverfront shaped by trade, migration and much older histories
The St. Lawrence River made this area central to Montréal’s growth as a port, but the city’s story did not begin with European settlement. Indigenous peoples used and inhabited the island long before Ville-Marie was founded in 1642. This quest follows the historic riverfront and Old Montréal while recognizing those layered histories rather than presenting the port as the city’s single origin story. Playable languages: English.
