On November 1, 2026, the family of an 89‑year‑old pedestrian placed a white‑sneaker shaped commemorative plaque in a parking lot near the intersection of Jarry Street and Langelier Street in Montreal’s St‑Leonard borough. The plaque serves both to honor the deceased man and to promote awareness of pedestrian safety.
The installation follows the man’s death in May 2026, when he was fatally struck by a vehicle in the same St‑Leonard area.
