Could you update the Notable Visitors section with former Prime minister candidate and leader of the Liberal party of Canada Stéphane Dion, Prime minister of Quebec Jean Charest and current Mayor of Montreal Gérald Tremblay.

An important point is that the inscriptions of those who died in the genocide are written on the inside of that structure (or at least I've been told). You can't see them I don't think.

Gentlemen,

Your information is incomplete. There is an older Memorial raised in Ville Saint Laurent district of Montreal in Parc Beaudet. There was a lot of political finagling about that. The inscription is watwered down to include all people who suffered through a Genocide, but it was put up by the Armenian community.
