Public visitiation for Jean Béliveau begins today

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 07 Desember 2014 | 21.48

Members of the public are invited to pay tribute to former Montreal Canadiens captain Jean Béliveau at the Bell Centre in Montreal today and tomorrow, where his body will lie in state.

The doors will be open to the public between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday and Monday. Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard will be one of the first dignitaries to see Béliveau.

The famous hockey player — a lifelong ambassador for his beloved Habs — died dec. 2 at the age of 83.

He will have what the Quebec government calls a "national funeral," to be celebrated Wednesday at the Mary Queen of the World Cathedral in Montreal.

A bronze statue of the Béliveau has been on display in front of the Bell Centre main entrance since Wednesday.

Quebec City Mayor Régis Labeaume has proposed renaming Coliseum Avenue in honour of Jean Béliveau, who played for the Quebec Aces in the 1950s.

The Coliseum in Quebec City has also opened its doors to the public, for the signing of a book of condolences.

The book will be available again on Sunday and Monday, before being presented to the Béliveau family.

On Saturday, workers at the Coliseum unfurled a huge banner on the arena's south facade to pay tribute to Jean Béliveau.
