Keys to History
During Montreal's winter carnival, held first in 1883 and in each subsequent year but one until 1889, it was customary for members of the Montreal Snow Shoe Club, bearing torches, to descend from Mount Royal and make an attack on the Ice Palace erected every winter on Dominion Square.
