Since then the garden has delighted people from all levels of society. For decades access was free, but in recent years , under ordinary circumstances, non-residents of Montreal pay a fee, with residents with the $8 Accès Montréaal card getting in free to the exterior gardens.
This summer that will change. The city has declared that because of a special exhibit, everyone over 12 will have to pay, with Accès Montréal cardholders coughing up a hefty $18.75. Others will pay any more.
The decision appears to have been made so quietly that no one heard about it until a couple of weeks ago. The reaction has been quick, though. A petition calling for a reconsideration of the new fees had 3603 signatures as for 2:23 p.m. Sunday, and some city councillors are saying things ought to change.
