Quartier Bonaventure A neighbourhood steeped in history, focused on the future The logo and signature represent drive and ambition by a moving line pointing towards the sky. The inter- secting lines demonstrate a determination to mend the east and west axes in order to create a true living environment in the heart of a historic site that will live once again. The colours represent the overriding presence of the St. Lawrence River and the need for the project to refl ect sustainable development. Finally, the contrast between dark blue and electric blue shows the balance between the strength of a structuring project for Montreal and the will to redefi ne this area in an imaginative and inspiring way, from both architec- tural and urban planning perspectives.

    MONTRÉAL, DESIGN OF THE CITY / CITY OF TOWARDS DESIGNATION AS A UNESCO CITY OF DESIGN DESIGN APRIL 2006 L’Actualité, novembre 1967 FOR THE PRESENT PURPOSES, DESIGN IS DEFINED IN ITS BROADER SENSE, INCLUDING ALL THE CREATIVE DISCIPLINES THAT SHAPE AND HAVE THE POWER OF QUALIFYING AND ENRICHING OUR LIVING ENVIRONMENT: LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, URBAN DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, INTERIOR DESIGN, INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, GRAPHIC DESIGN, FASHION DESIGN. RRR FOR THE CITY OF MONTRÉAL, DESIGN IS AN ACTIVITY OF IDEATION, CREATION, PLANNING, PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT THAT INFLUENCES THE QUALITY OF ITS LIVING ENVIRONMENT, /7 MAKES ITS ECONOMY MORE COMPETITIVE, PARTICIPATES IN ITS CULTURAL EXPRESSION AND STRENGTHENS ITS IDENTITY AND THAT OF ITS BUSINESSES. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Founded in 1642, Montréal has been a city of immigrants for four centuries. The only French-speaking city in North America where its population of more than 1,500,000 is predominantly bilingual and many of them speak a third language, Montréal comprises representatives of both the French- speaking and English-speaking communities, augmented by some 150 other communities of diverse origin making up 34% of its population. l A modern metropolis that burst onto the international stage with the Expo ’67 World’s Fair, Montréal is now a knowledge city and Canada’s leading investor in university research. It is home to two French-speaking and two English-speaking universities, representing a total of 11 university institutions, along with approximately 50 Canada Research Chairs involved in developing a multitude of international networks. l Montréal has a healthy economy, and optimism is the name of the game for the 2007–2010 period with an average expected annual economic growth of 2.9%.

MISSION REISA, a community organization, works to increase access to health and social services in English for residents of Montreal’s East end, through collaboration with public, private and community stakeholders. PROFILE According to a study by the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) and Pocock (2014), English-speaking communities in the East end of the island represent a significant 14,8% of the area’s population. However, it is common that the needs of these communities are overlooked. REISA seeks to promote the English language as a communication tool and not as the language of work, in areas where minority groups are more comfortable receiving services in English than in French.
