The new Acte d’amitié (Friendship Act) between the Monastère des Augustines and the Pôle culturel du Monastère des Ursulines was signed by the presidents of the ad- ministrative councils and the directors general of both monasteries, who symbolically exchanged the original keys to each other’s buildings. The key on the left is that of the Ursuline monastery and the one on the right is that of the Augustinian monastery. (Photo by Shirley Nadeau)
