Plan De Conservation DU SITE PATRIMONIAL DU MONT-ROYAL 2018 - 2 Plan de conservation DU SITE PATRIMONIAL DU MONT-ROYAL 2018 - 2 - Dépôt légal – Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, 2018 ISBN 978-2-550-81609-6 (PDF) © Gouvernement du Québec, ministère de la Culture et des Communications MOT DE LA MINISTRE Le mont Royal est un véritable joyau au cœur de la plus grande ville du Québec. Déclaré site patrimonial le 9 mars 2005, ce territoire d’une superficie d’environ 750 hectares englobe les trois sommets du mont Royal et une portion de ses flancs. Il présente une concentration d’éléments distinctifs – relevant des domaines du sacré, du savoir, de la santé, du loisir, des services civiques et de l’habitation – qui reflètent ses multiples usages. Il nous faut poursuivre les efforts pour assurer la mise en valeur de ce site emblématique et, surtout, pour en préserver l’intégrité dans l’intérêt des générations actuelles et futures. Cela passe nécessairement par notre souci de le comprendre et de le protéger. C’est le propos et l’intention de ce plan de conservation. Le patrimoine culturel constitue une richesse collective exceptionnelle, mais une richesse malheureusement non renouvelable. Il mérite donc d’être considéré avec soin et vigilance. Ce document regroupe les connaissances acquises sur le site patrimonial et son histoire. De plus, il définit les orientations nécessaires à l’analyse des demandes d’autorisation relatives aux articles 64 et 65 de la Loi sur le patrimoine culturel. Il deviendra notre cadre de référence pour intervenir dans le respect des valeurs d’origine, dans un esprit de dynamisme et en écho aux besoins de la population. Je tiens à souligner qu’une consultation publique a été tenue pour permettre aux citoyens d’exprimer leurs préoccupations quant à la protection de ce site patrimonial. Leurs remarques, tout comme les avis des intervenants de la Ville de Montréal et de la Ville de Westmount ainsi que ceux des spécialistes du Conseil du patrimoine culturel du Québec, ont bien sûr retenu notre attention pour bonifier les grandes lignes du plan. J’en profite pour remercier la population et les élus de leur engagement tout au long de cette démarche. C’est en misant sur un processus de concertation et sur la convergence des efforts que nous pourrons protéger ce patrimoine à la source de notre identité. Je suis fière de présenter ce plan de conservation qui reflète notre volonté de bien accomplir notre devoir de mémoire quant à la transmission de nos richesses patrimoniales.

Elle prévoit l’établissement d’un plan de conservation pour chaque site patrimonial déclaré. Le plan de conservation est un document dans lequel le ministre de la Culture et des Communications présente « ses orientations en vue de la préservation, de la réhabilitation et, le cas échéant, de la mise en valeur » (LPC, art. 61) des sites patrimoniaux déclarés. Le plan de conservation énonce les valeurs patrimoniales et les caractéristiques qui ont mené à la déclaration du site patrimonial. En résumé, il sert à réconcilier la préservation des valeurs patrimoniales et les usages contemporains du site patrimonial qui doit demeurer vivant, principe de base de sa conservation. Le plan de conservation du site patrimonial du Mont-Royal est destiné à guider les décisions du ministre dans l’exercice des pouvoirs qui lui sont conférés en vertu des articles 64 et 65 de la Loi sur le patrimoine culturel. Il permet d’assurer de la pérennité des valeurs patrimoniales et des caractéristiques du site patrimonial du Mont-Royal au bénéfice des citoyennes et des citoyens du Québec. Ces valeurs patrimoniales et ces caractéristiques sont primordiales puisqu’elles expliquent la déclaration du site patrimonial en 2005 par le gouvernement du Québec. Le plan pourra également servir de référence aux personnes qui interviennent en matière de patrimoine culturel, dont les propriétaires ou leurs représentants, les locataires, les promoteurs et les municipalités. Les orientations énoncées dans le présent document permettront de planifier des interventions respectueuses des valeurs patrimoniales du site patrimonial. L’analyse des demandes d’autorisation sera faite à partir des orientations contenues dans le plan de conservation et chaque demande sera prise en considération en fonction des faits qui lui sont particuliers afin de respecter la nature discrétionnaire du pouvoir que la Loi sur le patrimoine culturel confie au ministre de la Culture et des Communications. En effet, le pouvoir du ministre lui permet d’éviter qu’une orientation soit appliquée automatiquement et de manière rigide1. Étant une ressource précieuse et non renouvelable pour notre société contemporaine, le patrimoine culturel doit être traité avec rigueur, mais en conservant la souplesse nécessaire afin de tenir compte de ses particularités. C’est ainsi que la Loi sur le patrimoine culturel utilise le concept d’orientation plutôt que celui d’exigence, de norme ou de critère afin de respecter la nature du pouvoir du ministre et de conserver un degré suffisant d’ouverture quant aux demandes qui pourraient lui être adressées2. À la différence du pouvoir du ministre, les municipalités possèdent un pouvoir réglementaire en vertu de la Loi sur l’aménagement et l’urbanisme. Elles ont donc la possibilité, si elles le souhaitent, de transposer les orientations du ministre dans leur réglementation. En ce sens, le plan de conservation informe les municipalités des orientations établies par le ministre pour la protection du site patrimonial. 1. Pierre Issalys et Denis Lemieux, L’action gouvernementale. Précis de droit des institutions administratives, 2e édition revue et augmentée, Cowansville, Québec, Éditions Yvon Blais, 2002, p. 503. 2. Il est à noter que, selon les auteurs Pierre Issalys et Denis Lemieux, le détenteur d’un pouvoir discrétionnaire ne peut pas poser de gestes qui amèneraient l’autorité administrative à décider à l’avance de ce que sera le contenu d’une décision. L’autorité administrative, dans le présent cas le ministère de la Culture et des Communications, doit prendre en compte les particularités de chaque situation. Issalys et Lemieux, ibid. 9 Le plan de conservation du site patrimonial du Mont-Royal est le document de référence du ministère de la Culture et des Communications pour la protection et la mise en valeur du site en ce qui a trait aux articles 64 et 65 de la Loi sur le patrimoine culturel. Il ne limite toutefois pas la compétence du ministre, dans l’exercice du pouvoir qui lui est conféré en vertu de la Loi, de prendre en considération chaque cas à son mérite. Le plan de conservation renferme des orientations et ne doit pas être considéré comme une compilation de l’ensemble des données et des études qui sont disponibles ou qui pourraient s’ajouter au fil du temps. La Ville de Montréal et la Ville de Westmount, par ailleurs, interviennent sur le territoire du site patrimonial. Elles le font notamment en vertu de Loi sur l’aménagement et l’urbanisme et au moyen d’autres documents de référence, dont leur plan d’urbanisme et la réglementation en découlant. Les questions de changement d’usage, de contrôle de la circulation ainsi que de développement économique et communautaire relèvent de la compétence des deux villes. Le Ministère doit toutefois autoriser, notamment, les modifications apportées à l’apparence extérieure des immeubles qui pourraient en découler.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • From the Closet to the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery
    175 ISSN: 1755-068 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) From the Closet To the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery Evan Pavka This paper argues that the burials of individuals who engaged, or were speculated to have engaged, in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were in constant relation to the material and metaphoric closet. Due to limited archival material concerning cases of same-sex activity in Montreal, Canada, I look out toward international grave sites to construct a framework for analysis. Using case studies from French and American cemeteries alongside those in Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal, I argue that, for those whose memory is directed by the living, the grave functions much like the closet—closing or disclosing what institutions and society deemed “abominable.” However, more powerful individuals were able to subvert the authority of the cemetery by immortalizing their “romantic friendships” in the grave. By navigating the binaries of the closet—closure/disclosure, hetero/homosexual and repression/pride— the grave has the potential to function as an important archive of identity, sexuality and memory. 176 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) The article ‘Israeli Supreme Court Rejects Family Petition To Bury Trans Woman As Their ‘Son’,’ published by Buzzfeed in 2015, outlines how the parents of trans-activist May Peleg sought to commemorate her as “their son.”1 Emphasizing burial as an instrument to rectify her gender and sexuality, the spatial realities of the closet embedded in this article parallel the burials of those who engaged in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.2 The article speaks to the continued presence of the closet—closing or disclosing gender and sexuality—in death.

It has occurred to the author very often that a volume presenting the peculiar features, favorite resorts and distinguishing characteristics, of the leading cities of America, would Peculiarities of American cities. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.05993 Library of Congress prove of interest to thousands who could, at best, see them only in imagination, and to others, who, having visited them, would like to compare notes with one who has made their PECULIARITIES a study for many years. A residence in more than a hundred cities, including nearly all that are introduced in this work, leads me to feel that I shall succeed in my purpose of giving to the public a book, without the necessity of marching in slow and solemn procession before my readers a monumental array of time-honored statistics; on the contrary, it will be my aim, in the following pages, to talk of cities as I have seen and found them in my walks, from day to day, with but slight reference to their origin and past history.

Its tremendous breadth and depth are the fruit of careful work on the part of the many experts consulted, along with the active participation of residents, associations and institutions, all of them equally concerned that it should include specifi c measures to protect and enhance the Mountain. I am convinced that the measures in the Plan will make Mount Royal one of the fi nest natural and heritage sites on the continent. There will be many challenges as we continue to work toward this goal, and the Plan has the advantage of identifying them clearly: protecting and upgrading natural habitats that are especially sensitive because they are in the heart of the city; preserving and restoring the built heritage and, fi nally, maintaining and enhancing landscapes and views. Gérald Tremblay Meeting these goals calls for a wide variety of actions – from day-to-day vigilance Mayor of Montréal to moving forward with long-term strategic projects. One of the strengths of the Plan is in fact its detailed description of the means for pursuing all of these goals.

Both qualities were provided by Terrace Bank, the house at the centre of the estate, and both would only increase with the creation of a middle-class suburb around it on the slopes of Mount Royal. Publisher(s) As a result, the Redpath family home, and the additional homes built nearby for members of the extended Redpath family, influenced all stages of the The Canadian Historical Association / La Société historique du Canada planning and subdivision process, which met with great success over the course of the 1840s. In its use of personal correspondence, notarial documents, ISSN plans, the census, and cemetery records, this paper brings together elements of city planning, political and social history, and family history in order to 0847-4478 (print) provide a nuanced picture of how the nineteenth-century built environment 1712-6274 (digital) was shaped and how we should read pubic space.
