  • 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.

  • Financial Statements of Centraide of Greater Montreal March 31, 2014
    LAVAL ISLAND OF MONTREAL SOUTH SHORE Our investments in the heart of the community Financial Statements 2013-2014 Mission To maximize financial and volunteer resources so that Centraide—particularly by funding community agencies and working in partnership with them—can promote caring and social involvement in order to improve the quality of life in our community and empower its most vulnerable members to take charge of their lives. Vision To build caring communities throughout Greater Montreal. Centraide wants to make Greater Montreal into a place where the less fortunate have the means to live in dignity. To achieve this aim, it relies on citizens’ capacity for self-reliance and solidarity. 2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2013-2014 A network that brightens lives In Greater Montreal, nearly one out of six people lives in poverty, a problem that goes hand in hand with social exclusion. Centraide of Greater Montreal is constantly fighting these two social ills, but this fight would not be possible without the volunteers, donors, workplace campaign directors, business leaders and community workers who support us. Everyone—from the people who canvas for donations to the individuals who put these donations to good use— belongs to this vast network of generosity that brightens the lives of those most vulnerable. We thank them all from the bottom of our hearts. In 2013-2014, this collective effort translated into an investment of nearly $47 million in over 360 agencies and projects. In keeping with our goals, we have placed an emphasis on the living conditions of children, youth and families and on the integration of socially excluded people.
