Mosavernales snow sculpture show is back but only at night

The Mosavernales snow sculptures have been repaired and are ready for the public again, but the exhibit won't be open as many hours as before.

The winter version of last summer'spopular Mosacanada plant sculpture show at Jacques-Cartier Park in downtown Gatineau opened Jan. 26, then closed three days later.

Organizers said warm weather that weekend partially melted some of the sculptures and they needed a few days to repair them.

A notice on theMosavernaleswebsite saidthe exhibit will reopen at dusk Friday, around 5 p.m.

While it had opened at 2 p.m. on weekends and 4 p.m. on weekdays, its new opening time is around 5 p.m. in early February and 5:30 p.m. in late February.

The closing time of 10 p.m. remains unchanged.

Organizers say the sculptures have been fixed and the pathways are now ice-free and better lit.

Anyone who bought a ticket for Jan.26, 27 or 28 can come back again for free if they still have their ticket.

The exhibit will be open until March 4, weather permitting.
