Pierre Le Moyne DâIbervilles
Pierre Le Moyne D’Ibervilles can be found, placated and still, at the very end of Elgin Street. He stands in the shadow the National War Memorial and across from the grand Château Laurier, a quiet but life-sized observer of curious tourists and late-night revelers on their way home from the Market.
