Place Émilie-Gamelin

Place Émilie-Gamelin (known informally as Berri Square, French: Square Berri) is a city square in central Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was created to mark the 350th anniversary of the city. Bordered by Berri Street, Saint Hubert Street, Sainte Catherine Street, and De Maisonneuve Boulevard, the squa

re is adjacent to the entrances of transportation hubs Berri–UQAM metro station and the former Station centrale d'autobus, as well as the Université du Québec à Montréal and the Grande Bibliothèque du Québec. For years Place Émilie-Gamelin and the surrounding area held a bad reputation for drug sales and homelessness, something the city has claimed to try to progressively change, but has ultimately failed to do so.
