The Montreal Forum: the Final Season?
Palimpsest III: The Dialectics of Montreal’s Public Spaces Department of Art History, Concordia University The Montreal Forum: The Final Season? Rob Coles September 2010 Cynthia I. Hammond, ed. Palimpsest III: The Dialectics of Montreal’s Public Spaces Coles 1 As a site of identity for the multiple affiliations of the people of Montreal, the Montreal Forum represents much more than a hockey arena. Between 1924 and 1996, the Forum hosted thousands of events, from professional hockey, to rock concerts, circus performances, religious gatherings, professional wrestling and events of the 1976 Summer Olympics. In 1996 the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club, the main occupants of the site, moved from the Forum to the Molson (now Bell) Centre. After the departure of the Canadiens was announced, many Montreal residents feared that the Forum would be destroyed. A huge public outcry to save the building ensued. The Forum was ultimately saved and transformed into an entertainment complex called the Pepsi Forum that incorporated some memorabilia from the site’s history into its design. With this attempt to keep the local affect of the Forum alive in mind, this essay asks why so many were opposed to the demolition of the Forum? Was the adaptive re-use of the Forum successful in capturing the essential and important aspects of the building for its fans? The Montreal Forum was a key site of expression and identity in Montreal not only for supporters of the Canadiens hockey team. For the city’s francophone population and fans of popular music, the Forum was also important. As this essay demonstrates, while the Pepsi Forum includes memorabilia in its interior design, important connections between the Forum and the rise of Quebec nationalism are only summarily represented, as is the impact of the Forum as a key music venue in Montreal; the “Forum Gallery”, a small museum located on the second floor of the building, is out of the view and spatial experience of most visitors today. -
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. -

An Educational Experience
INTRODUCTION An Educational Experience In many countries, hockey is just a game, but to Canadians it’s a thread woven into the very fabric of our society. The Hockey Hall of Fame is a museum where participants and builders of the sport are honoured and the history of hockey is preserved. Through the Education Program, students can share in the glory of great moments on the ice that are now part of our Canadian culture. The Hockey Hall of Fame has used components of the sport to support educational core curriculum. The goal of this program is to provide an arena in which students can utilize critical thinking skills and experience hands-on interactive opportunities that will assure a successful and worthwhile field trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The contents of this the Education Program are recommended for Grades 6-9.

1: Montreal and the Jewish Community in the 1920'S
1: Montreal and the Jewish Community in the 1920's Montreal in the 1920's was a sharply divided city, both socially and culturally. Rifts separated the wealthy from the poor, uptowner from East-ender, anglophone from fran- cophone, immigrant from native-born, and Gentile from Jew. From its origins in 1929, the Jewish General Hospital would contribute substantially to the bridging of these differences and to the promotion of greater harmony in efforts for the benefit of all. Both Montreal's population and that of the Jewish community within it had been growing rapidly for some time. Census figures reveal that the number of people living in Montreal, after having more than doubled since the turn of the century, increased from 618,506 in 1921 to 818,577 ten years later. Since much of this increase resulted from im- migration, a great deal of which was Jewish, Jews quickly rose to prominence as the third largest ethnic group in Montreal. After a gradual growth in the old, but small, Jewish community to some 8,100 persons in 1901, by 1921 its numbers had soared to 51,287, despite the interruption of immigration during the war years. Thus, in 1921 Jews accounted for a full seven percent of Montreal's population. Montreal grew in more than population during the first decades of the twentieth century and began to assume aspects of its present appearance. Industry, already the heart of Montreal's economy, continued to expand once the post-war recession was over. This trend was particularly visible in traditional industrial sectors - clothing, textiles, tobacco, and iron and steel products - as well as in some newer sectors, such as electrical appliances and oil products. -
