Hydro-Québec to join annual trek to Irish Black Rock

The Irish of Montreal have doing the annual Walk to the Stone for over 150 years.

It has been a deeply symbolic, even spiritual event for the Irish community to commemorate those who died after arriving in Montreal during the Great Famine of 1847. More than 6,000 dead are said to be buried beneath the imposing Black Rock, a tombstone like no other in Montreal.
