3. the Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust by Max Beer
Curr Psychol DOI 10.1007/s12144-007-9017-3 The Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust Max Beer # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract In 1993 Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in Germany. At the same time, in Canada in general and in Montreal in particular, anti-Semitism was becoming more widespread. The Canadian Jewish Congress, as a result of the growing tension in Europe and the increase in anti-Semitism at home, was reborn in 1934 and became the authoritative voice of Canadian Jewry. During World War II the Nazis embarked on a campaign that resulted in the systematic extermination of millions of Jews. This article focuses on the Montreal Jewish community, its leadership, and their response to the fate of European Jewry. The study pays particular attention to the Canadian Jewish Congress which influenced the outlook of the community and its subsequent actions. As the war progressed, loyalty to Canada and support for the war effort became the overriding issues for the community and the leadership and concern for their European brethren faded into the background. Keywords Anti-Semitism . Holocaust . Montreal . Quebec . Canada . Bronfman . Uptowners . Downtowners . Congress . Caiserman The 1930s, with the devastating worldwide economic depression and the emergence of Nazism in Germany, set the stage for a war that would result in tens of millions of deaths and the mass extermination of Europe’s Jews. The decade marked a complete stoppage of Jewish immigration to Canada, an increase in anti-Semitism on the North American continent, and the revival of the Canadian Jewish Congress as the voice for the Canadian Jewish community. -
Demographic Context
Demographic context Greater Montréal encompasses 82 municipalities, broken down into 5 territories, and includes the island of Montréal at its centre and the cities of Longueuil and Laval along the north and south shores. According to the 2016 Census, the Montréal census metropolitan area (CMA) had 4,098,930 inhabitants, up 4.2% from 2011. The Toronto CMA’s population rose 6.2% and the Vancouver CMA’s population rose 6.5% over the same period.1 OVER 800,000 CHILDREN UNDER 18 A total of 821,275 children under age 18 were living in the Montréal CMA in 2016. — 46% were between the ages of 13 and 17 (Figure 1). 1 Unless otherwise indicated, demographic data are taken from the 2016 Census. Figure 1.8 Breakdown of the population under the age of 18 (by age) and in three age categories (%), Montréal census metropolitan area, 2016 Source: Statistics Canada (2017). 2016 Census, product no. 98-400-X2016001 in the Statistics Canada catalogue. The demographic weight of children under age 18 in Montréal is higher than in the rest of Quebec, in Vancouver and in Halifax, but is lower than in Calgary and Edmonton. While the number of children under 18 increased from 2001 to 2016, this group’s demographic weight relative to the overall population gradually decreased: from 21.6% in 2001, to 20.9% in 2006, to 20.3% in 2011, and then to 20% in 2016 (Figures 2 and 3).

Organization and Management of Benny Fram Site Public, Private and Semi-Private Spaces September 25 , 2003
Organization and Management of Benny Fram Site Public, Private and Semi-private Spaces th September 25 , 2003 ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF BENNY FARM SITE INTRODUCTION This report is organized into four sections as follows: 1. Public, Private and Semi-Private Spaces 2. Legal Tools 3. Examples of Residential Projects 4. Recommendations and Next Steps In the first section, we analyze the Benny Farm site in terms of the different property regimes, namely, public, private and semi-private land. We also identify the issues of overall site integration and management. In the second part, we provide two possible legal tools that may be used to ensure that the whole project is integrated in terms of overall architectural style and landscaping quality and that the different areas are properly maintained. In the third part, we provide examples of other residential projects in the Montreal area. Finally, we provide our preliminary recommendations as to which legal regime is best suited for Benny Farm and how you may proceed. 1. PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND SEMI-PRIVATE SPACES With reference to the site plan prepared by Saia et Barbarese/Claude Cormier in August 2003 (the “Site Plan”), the site may be organized into three property regimes: public, private and semi-private. 1.1 Public Spaces (a) Definition In the event that the City acquires a portion of the northeast corner of the site for a community recreation center, such area will become a public space. The Benny Farm site plan includes a new road west of Cavendish. This road is an extension of Prince of Wales Avenue, which will be transferred to the City and become public. -
5.0. Community Architecture in Montreal
5.0. Community Architecture In Montreal The main focus of the last chapter was to present the evolution of community participation in architecture at a global scale. However, since the case study project of this research report is situated in the city of Montréal, Canada, it is also important to present a more local perspective of community-based architecture. The following text accounts the significant events in the history of Montréal that fortified the concept of community participation in architecture in the city. 5.1. The Milton-Park Project At the beginning of this research, one of the main reasons for selecting a project based in Montréal was the feasibility factor due to my location in this city. However, what I did not know at that time was how Montréal has had an active history of community-based initiatives in architecture. One such example and probably the most successful is that of my very neighborhood, popularly known as the McGill Ghetto, located next to the McGill University. The neighborhood is formally known as the Milton-Park area and comprises about eight blocks, which were the “battleground” between the community members residing in this area and a private developer from 1968 to 1983 (Helman 9, 13). Claire Helman in her book, The Milton-Park Affair: Canada’s Largest Citizen-Developer Confrontation, gives a step- by-step account of the efforts of the residents who were involved in a fight to protect their houses and neighborhood from the fate of destruction. In 1860s, the 53 development of the Milton-Park area began with the construction of a new Hotel- Dieu. -

FORWARD THINKING: a TOD Concept Plan for the Pinecrest Foster Farm Community
FORWARD THINKING: A TOD Concept Plan for the Pinecrest Foster Farm Community 21 December 2018 FORWARD THINKING | SURP 824 This page was intentionally left blank. P A G E ii FORWARD THINKING | SURP 824 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Pinecrest Foster Farm community, located in the City of Ottawa’s west end, is anticipating the arrival of the Pinecrest light rail transit (LRT) station in 2023. Ottawa Community Housing (OCH), as a major affordable housing provider in the City, and as a major property owner in the area, has a key interest in ensuring that affordable housing is provided near the LRT station. OCH, with support from the City of Ottawa, has retained the Project Team to create a concept plan of what Ottawa’s Pinecrest Foster Farm community might look like if it were redeveloped according to transit-oriented development (TOD) principles. The Concept Plan is looking to a final build-out in 2035. The vision for Pinecrest Foster Farm is to create an inclusive, mixed-use, and transit-oriented community that is a safe and liveable environment for residents and visitors. The geographic scope for this project is differentiated by the Study Area, the site, and OCH-owned property (Figure 1). The Study Area defines a broad area of interest surrounding the future Pinecrest LRT Station, with a focus on lands north of the Highway 417 and west of Pinecrest Road. The site, which is comprised of key lands to be considered for redevelopment, is the focus of the Concept Plan. The site itself is comprised of nineteen hectares of land, which include OCH, municipal, and provincial properties, as well as a few key non-residential private properties. -
Aviation Investigation Report A93O0343
AVIATION OCCURRENCE REPORT LOSS OF CONTROL BEECH B58P BARON C-FKSB TORONTO ISLAND AIRPORT, ONTARIO 1.8 nm W 09 OCTOBER 1993 REPORT NUMBER A93O0343 MANDATE OF THE TSB The Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act provides the legal framework governing the TSB's activities. Basically, the TSB has a mandate to advance safety in the marine, pipeline, rail, and aviation modes of transportation by: ! conducting independent investigations and, if necessary, public inquiries into transportation occurrences in order to make findings as to their causes and contributing factors; ! reporting publicly on its investigations and public inquiries and on the related findings; ! identifying safety deficiencies as evidenced by transportation occurrences; ! making recommendations designed to eliminate or reduce any such safety deficiencies; and ! conducting special studies and special investigations on transportation safety matters. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. However, the Board must not refrain from fully reporting on the causes and contributing factors merely because fault or liability might be inferred from the Board's findings. INDEPENDENCE To enable the public to have confidence in the transportation accident investigation process, it is essential that the investigating agency be, and be seen to be, independent and free from any conflicts of interest when it investigates accidents, identifies safety deficiencies, and makes safety recommendations. Independence is a key feature of the TSB. The Board reports to Parliament through the President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada and is separate from other government agencies and departments. Its independence enables it to be fully objective in arriving at its conclusions and recommendations. -
