MONTREAL, Nov. 12, 2018 /CNW/ - To celebrate the
100th anniversary of the iconic Sun Life Building in
Montreal, Sun Life Financial is
proud to invite the public to participate in free, exclusive
building tours on November 24, 25 and December 1 and 2.
Heritage Montreal guides will take
visitors on a journey of discovery, highlighting unique
architectural features and lesser-known historical facts behind the
Quebec heritage treasure.
The tours will provide special access to the century-old
building overlooking Dorchester
Square. Once known as "the largest building in the British
Empire," it stands today as a testament to Montreal's vibrant economic growth – in which
Sun Life played no small part. Visitors will have an opportunity to
admire the building's exceptional architecture, which embodies
strength and elegance, tour the trading floor and see inside the
infamous underground vault.
"Sun Life is proud to celebrate our building's 100th
anniversary with members of the Montreal community. Since its inauguration in
1918, the Sun Life Building has left an indelible mark on downtown
Montreal. Today, it remains Sun
Life's principal place of business in Quebec, and home to over
2,000 employees," said Robert
Dumas, President and CEO, Sun Life Financial, Quebec.
