The Japanese Garden is part of Montreal’s renowned Botanical Gardens.
The Peace Pole is located close to the Peace Bell in the Japanese Garden.
The peace bell was presented to the city of Montreal from the city of Hiroshima as a sign of "eternal friendship and peace" to mark the twinning of the two cities in 1998.
The peace pole movement was started in Japan by the World Peace Prayer Society in 1955, with the objective of dedicating humankind towards peace rather than conflict.
