The STM,
official transporter for La Fête des enfants
Montreal, August 7, 2008 –
The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) is proud to act as the official
transporter for La Fête des enfants de Montréal for the tenth
consecutive year.
On August 16 and 17, upon presentation of a family pass for La Fête des
enfants, available at participating Montréal-area Jean-Coutu
pharmacies, children and their families will be able to travel for free on
buses and the métro to attend the event.
The Funambus
In addition, the STM is issuing a very special invitation to children and
their families not only to come and meet our animators, but also to
discover the Funambus, a new activity and promotion centre initiated by
the STM in support of sustainable development.
It is important to note that all the elements involved in the Funambus are
made from recycled materials. This repurposing project is the work of
artist Vincent Vandebrouck, well-known for his environmental and
sustainable development creations, including Espace Sedna in the Old Port.
Over the years, La Fête des enfants has become a popular event,
bringing together Montréal’s various communities. The Société is pleased
to contribute to the success of this family-oriented activity and hopes
everyone enjoys the fun.
