1967: These amazing photos shine a light on Montreal's year of great energy

Jules Rochon's photo collection on BANQ puts into focus an era of great change and energy in Montreal. Rochon's photosnaps come with no biography and his pics have no captions. He may or may not be the same Jules Rochon who was fired from the provincial bureaucracy in 1992 after borrowing government equipment to film erotica. 

Feast your eyes on these delicious images that take the pulse of Montrealers of the time.
