Léo Gravelle

Montreal Canadians - 1946-1951

Winterlude 2025

Snow sculpture

Léo would have been 100 in 2025.

The City of Gatineau has decided to honour Léo within the Winterlude 2025 festifities by dedicating a snow sculpture to his memory.
The sculptor, Véronique Gagné, from the team lead by Martin Ernst, created this sculpture keeping in mind the nickname he was given, Léo The Gazelle.
Here is the video of the making of the sculpture by Véronique and photos of our meeting with the team.
