This work of public art was created by famed industrial designer Michel Dallaire, in honour of animation master Norman McLaren. The work is located outside the Îlot Balmoral, home to the NFB’s headquarters. This landmark building was designed by Provencher-Roy and belongs to the Société d’habitation et de développement de Montréal (SHDM).
