The Douglas has taken an innovative approach to rehabilitation by creating a sculpture garden to help people suffering from mental illness. This garden is a haven of peace and comfort for patients, staff and the general public. Constantly evolving, the garden now displays 16 sculptures, donated by Quebec artists, including Glen LeMesurier, Claude Millette and Esther Wertheimer.
