T. Chapman 1919 PREFACE THE purpose of this Guide is to supply, concisely, such information as may enable visitors to see the chief points of interest in Montreal as it exists to-day; and also to acquaint them with a few details of the history and traditions of a City whose early years were full of romance, and whose whole life has been crowded with events of more than local import. The Introduction and Historical Notes have been, in great measure, compiled from articles by Sir Andrew Macphail, Dr. S. E. Dawson and the late Mr. William McLennan. Mr. W. D. Lighthall, too, has been drawn upon freely in the course of the Historical Notes and of the Descriptions. Thanks for permission to use the articles are most cordially extended to the gentlemen named. The statistics contain the most recent infor- mation obtainable concerning the matters to which they relate: and it should, perhaps, be explained that the historical chapter deals largely with material aspects of the life of Montreal, inasmuch as no adequate treatment of the complicated questions of intellectual and social development would be possible within the limits of the present booklet.

    Wartime Training at Canadian Universities during the Second World War Anne Millar Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy degree in history Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Anne Millar, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 ii Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the contributions of Canadian universities to the Second World War. It examines the deliberations and negotiations of university, government, and military officials on how best to utilize and direct the resources of Canadian institutions of higher learning towards the prosecution of the war and postwar reconstruction. During the Second World War, university leaders worked with the Dominion Government and high-ranking military officials to establish comprehensive training programs on campuses across the country. These programs were designed to produce service personnel, provide skilled labour for essential war and civilian industries, impart specialized and technical knowledge to enlisted service members, and educate returning veterans. University administrators actively participated in the formation and expansion of these training initiatives and lobbied the government for adequate funding to ensure the success of their efforts. This study shows that university heads, deans, and prominent faculty members eagerly collaborated with both the government and the military to ensure that their institutions’ material and human resources were best directed in support of the war effort and that, in contrast to the First World War, skilled graduates would not be heedlessly wasted. At the center of these negotiations was the National Conference of Canadian Universities, a body consisting of heads of universities and colleges from across the country.

  • BANK MERGERS: IS BIGGER BETTER? Introduction
    BANK MERGERS: IS BIGGER BETTER? Introduction In January 1998, the Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank of Canada announced plans to merge and create one superbank. A few months later, in April, the Toronto Dominion Bank and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce announced similar plans. The proposed bank mergers caught many people off guard, including Minister of Finance Paul Martin. In a Macleans interview, Martin said, "Just because they decided to get into bed together doesnt mean that I have to bless their union." Martins message seemed to be that Ottawa, not the banks, would decide the future of banking in Canada. "There will be no mergers in the banking sector until we are convinced that [it] is what is best for Canadians, and we will not be stampeded into making that decision." According to the banks, the proposed mergers were a natural response to a changing and highly competitive global marketplace. Mergers, they said, provide a way of maintaining a strong Canadian presence in the banking industry. Certainly, recent technological advances have dramatically changed the manner in which the financial services industry conduct their business, and the above- mentioned banks feel, therefore, that they need to be bigger to compete and to have a substantial presence in the global banking community. Martin himself acknowledged the changed nature of banking when he said, "If you look back at banking five years ago, you might as well look back two centuries." While the proposed bank mergers brought attention to the challenges facing Canadas banks, these challenges are not peculiar to the banks alone.

  • MONTREAL to WELCOME a NEW CITY MUSEUM Major Benefactor Donates $15 Million
    MONTREAL TO WELCOME A NEW CITY MUSEUM Major benefactor donates $15 million Montreal, April 30, 2019 - The McCord Stewart Museum is proud to announce that its planned new museum will be located in the heart of downtown Montreal. The new establishment will expand the McCord Museum’s current site by building on Victoria Street, which runs along the west side of the Museum, and the lot housing the former Caveau restaurant on President Kennedy Avenue. The combined area of these sites will enable the museum to meet its needs for additional space and create an institution that will leave its mark on Montreal’s urban and cultural landscape. Working closely with the City of Montreal, which is granting the right to build on Victoria Street, the Museum selected the site after conducting a feasibility study. The new building will house three recently merged museums—the McCord Museum, the Stewart Museum and the Fashion Museum—under a single roof. This legacy project will create a world-class institution for generations of Montrealers. «Our administration believes that it is important to build this new museum. It will be a major attraction for our city and a source of pride for all Montrealers. We are pleased to be able to help advance the project by granting the right to use Victoria Street, so that this cultural space may continue to attract visitors, both locals and tourists, in the heart of the city’s downtown museum district,» declared Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante. New museum to receive historic donation The McCord Stewart Museum also announced that La Fondation Emmanuelle Gattuso had pledged to donate the extraordinary sum of $15 million towards the project.

  • Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967
    Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967 Heather McNabb A Thesis In the Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada May 2015 © Heather McNabb 2015 ii iii ABSTRACT Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967 Heather McNabb, PhD. Concordia University, 2015 This dissertation is an exploration of the changing role of photographs used in the dissemination of history by a twentieth-century Canadian history museum. Based on archival research, the study focuses on some of the changes that occurred in museum practice over four and a half decades at Montreal’s McCord Museum. The McCord was in many ways typical of other small history museums of its time, and this work illuminates some of the transformations undergone by other similar organizations in an era of professionalization of many fields, including those of academic and public history. Much has been written in recent scholarly literature on the subject of photographs and the past. Many of these works, however, have tended to examine the original context in which the photographic material was taken, as well as its initial use(s). Instead, this study takes as its starting point the way in which historic photographs were employed over time, after they had arrived within the space of the museum. Archival research for this dissertation suggests that photographs, initially considered useful primarily for reference purposes at the McCord Museum in the early twentieth century, gradually gained acceptance as historical objects to be exhibited in their own right, depicting specific moments from the past to visitors.

  • An Innovative Model, an Integrated Network
    RÉSEAU ÉLECTRIQUE MÉTROPOLITAIN An innovative model, an integrated network / Presentation of the #ProjetREM cdpqinfra.com THE REM: A PROJECT WITH IMPACT The REM is a fully automated, electric light rail transit (LRT) system, made up of 67 km of dedicated rail lines, with 50% of the tracks occupying existing rail corridors and 30% following existing highways. The REM will include four branches connecting downtown Montréal, the South Shore, the West Island, the North Shore and the airport, resulting in two new high-frequency public transit service lines to key employment hubs. A team of close to 400 experts is contributing to this project, ensuring well-planned, efficient and effective integration with the other transit networks. All sorts of elements are being considered, including the REM’s integration into the urban fabric and landscape, access to stations and impacts on the environment. Based on the current planning stage, the REM would become the fourth largest automated transit network in the world, with 27 stations, 13 parking facilities and 9 bus terminals, in addition to offering: • frequent service (every 3 to 12 minutes at peak times, depending on the stations), 20 hours a day (from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.), 7 days a week; • reliable and punctual service, through the use of entirely dedicated tracks; • reduced travel time through high carrying capacity and rapid service; • attention to user safety and security through cutting-edge monitoring; • highly accessible stations (by foot, bike, public transit or car) and equipped with elevators and escalators to improve ease of travel for everyone; • flexibility to espondr to increases in ridership, with the possibility of having trains pass through stations every 90 seconds.
