Home to the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and the Opéra de Montréal, the complex is situated between Saint Catherine and de Maisonneuve Streets, and St-Urbain and Jeanne-Mance streets, in an area now known as the Quartier des Spectacles in the borough of Ville-Marie. Place des Arts was an initiative of Mayor Jean Drapeau, a noted lover of opera, as part of a project to expand the downtown core eastward from the concentration of business and financial activity in the centre- west part of downtown. The Corporation George-Étienne-Cartier, named in honour of George- Étienne Cartier, a Father of Confederation and opera lover, was set up to build it, and the first part of the complex (including the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier) was inaugurated on September 21, 1963. The other theatres were added progressively. • Explore Place des Arts (Entertainment district) • Group picture • Walk to Complexe Desjardins 12:00 AM - 13:15 PM: • Lunch at Complexe Desjardins (many options at the food court) Price Range: $10-20 13:15 PM – 13:30 PM: • Leave Complexe Desjardins • Walk to Complexe Guy-Favreau (Chinatown) Information about Complexe Guy-Favreau: Complexe Guy-Favreau is a twelve-storey building complex containing Canadian government offices built in 1984.

  • The Other White City
    Arch 442 - UG4-Wallenberg Studio/Winter 2009 Studio Mankouche Alfred A. Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning University of Michigan Stanley Kubrick, 2001: A Space Odyssey, 19681 1,200 Feet Below Detroit; the Other White City Salt mining in Detroit began in 1896 with the sinking of a 1,100 foot shaft, but its investors went broke. Although there have been no deaths in the mines since, flooding and natural gas killed six men during the original construction. Today the 1,500 acre mine expels 10 ton loads of salt every few seconds. Salt is an ingredient essential to our survival. Empires have risen and fallen around their access to salt. Salt a critical chemical compound in numerous manufacturing processes was critical to the development of Detroit as a major industrial city. As such the excavation of the underground salt city has a spatial relation with the development of the above ground city. This studio would like to honor the legacy of Raoul Wallenberg, by addressing issues of social justice centered around the theme of two cities, an underground crystallized city of labor and an above ground city of lost and replaced labor. With the increasing sophistication of digital mechanization mining has become an incrementally safer practice. The greater safety and efficiency has the downside of reducing the need for human labor. While we are saving lives paradoxically we are at the same time ruining livelihoods. What will or can become of this underground city? Will it be like Carlsbad, New Mexico a safe place to store refuse? Could it be like the catacombs of Rome, a place to bury the dead? Could it be a fall out shelter a la Doctor Strange Love? A place to archive information such as the Corbis Iron Mountain facility in Pennsylvania? How does any of this relate to what is going on above ground? Tectonically this studio will be concerned entirely with interior space.

  • Sony Centre for the Performing Arts
    SONY CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS Executive Summary to Staff Reports Outlining Strategic Plan & Budget for 2014-15 BACKGROUND: At its meeting of September 26, 2011, City Council considered the Core Service Review completed by KPMG and authorized the City Manager to issue a Request for Expression of Interest (“REOI”) to determine the options for sale, lease, operation or other arrangement in respect of the three major civic theatres, including the Sony Centre. (http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2011.EX10.1.) The report can be found on pages 101-108: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2011/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-39626.pdf On September 29, 2011, the Mayor established a Task Force – Arts & Theatres. The Task Force examined the role that the civic theatres play in the city’s culture, economy and community. The Task Force recommended essential criteria for each of the three theatres for the REOI, along with other recommendations for consideration. An REOI was issued by the City in May 2012 to consider options for the future of the civic theatres, including the Sony Centre. The options were to include the sale, lease, operations or any other arrangements for any or all of the three theatres to meet the City’s cultural, social and economic goals. At its meeting held on November 27, 28 and 29, 2012 City Council adopted Item EX25.5 concerning the results of the REOI. At that time, City Council recognized the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts and the Toronto Centre for the Arts as community cultural assets and directed the Boards of these two theatres, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, to develop long term strategic and five- year business plans that ensure creative, cost effective and sustainable operations, minimize the City's tax funding, include performance measures for its service to the community, and provide for operating and capital reserves.

  • Finding Art and History Among the Malls of Montreal's Underground City
    Finding art and history among the malls of Montreal's underground city MORGAN LOWRIE, THE CANADIAN PRESS 12.12.2016 | The atrium of the International Trade Center, which is one of many locations connected to the underground city network, is seen Friday, December 9, 2016 in Montreal.THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan Remiorz MONTREAL ­ A visit to the "underground city" is a top item in any Montreal tourism guide, although asking a resident for directions just might get you the tiniest roll of the eye. That's because to many Montrealers, the tunnels that connect the city's downtown subway stations with a series of malls, oøce buildings and universities are more a convenient way of getting around than a noteworthy destination in itself. But in this case, the tourists may just have it right, according to the author of a book about the pedestrian network. Ivan Drouin says Montrealers' nonchalance may be simply due to the fact it's such a part of their lives they may not understand what an achievement it is. "I've met Montrealers who worked downtown for 20 years and are surprised to learn about the underground city's diversity, its artwork, its stories and its history," said Drouin, who founded Kaleidoscope, a Montreal tour company that oúers guided visits of the network. The term "underground" is a misnomer, as many of the levels are actually above ground. Drouin describes it instead as a "protected pedestrian network" — a 32­kilometre series of tunnels and passageways that allow residents to have access to most major downtown destinations without stepping foot outdoors.

  • 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.

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).
