This site is a guided audio tour through Griffintown with the former residents of Griffintown feeling the loss of their neighborhood that will never be replaced.
My attachment is to St Ann’s Church where I was baptized and made the walk as a kid from Goose Village through the Wellington Street tunnel to the Tuesdays to listen to these residents sing in the choir.
