Frederick G. Todd, architecte paysagiste: une pratique de l'aménagement ancrée dans son époque 1900-1948.

| Abstract |
The American-born and educated Frederick Gage Todd (1876-1948) was a Montreal-based landscape architect who is largely credited with being Canada’s first landscape architect. He immigrated to Montreal in 1900 to supervise work on Mount Royal Park, originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Among Todd's many works across the country are the National Battlefields Park on Quebec City's Plains of Abraham, restoring Montreal's St. Helen's Island, developing the model city plan for the Montreal suburb Town of Mount Royal, and planning and supervising the construction of the Garden of the Way of the Cross adjacent to Montreal's St. Joseph's Oratory. Todd was also president of the Quebec Horticultural Society, Vice-President of the City Improvement League of Montreal and a member of the Montreal City Council (1940–1948) representing the Civic Improvement League. In 2020, Todd was designated by the Federal government as a Person of National Historic Significance.
