A drive by Montréalʹs Harbour takes you on the eastside to the Olympic Park, site of the 1976 Summer Olympic Games. There will be time for a photo stop of the Olympic Stadium and the Montréal Tower, the worldʹs highest inclined tower in the world. You will also drive by the Maisonneuve Park and the Montréal Botanical Gardens. A Dinner following after the Montréal Classical City Tour. Fourquet Fourchette is a unique concept. http://www.fourquet-fourchette.com/site/en/concept.html The "fourquet" (known as mashing rake in English) is an instrument traditionally used by brewers to process water and malted grains in the mash tun in order to convert the starch into fermentable sugars to produce a fluid mass called wort. The "fourchette" is a fork. Combine the two and you have our logo, symbolizing the ideal marriage between gastronomy and a love of beer. That is the essence of our concept. The Fourquet Fourchette is an invitation to immerse yourself in the lost era of New France and its native culture. Allow our traditional décor and staff to take you back in time. Treat yourself to a wonderful meal complemented by local Unibroue beers and a fine selection of regional wines. Whether you choose to indulge yourself on the shore of the Richelieu River at Fort Chambly or in Old Montreal’s International District, the spirit of New France is alive and well at Fourquet Fourchette. Le Fourquet Fourchette porte un nom et une signature qui reflètent clairement son concept unique. http://www.fourquet-fourchette.com/site/en/concept.html Le « fourquet » évoque la bière et ses artisans; il est l'instrument traditionnel du brasseur qui s’en servait pour mélanger l'eau et le grain malté dans la cuve d'empattage pour transformer l'amidon de la céréale en sucre fermentescible, formant une masse liquide appelée le moût. La « fourchette » évoque naturellement la gastronomie. La combinaison du « fourquet » et de la « fourchette »... ...crée une enseigne qui véhicule l'essence du concept et supporte les armoiries du restaurant. Cet emblème reflète le caractère du produit offert et invite à une expérience gustative, visuelle et olfactive, où les produits du terroir et le moût de bière prennent toute leur saveur. Le Fourquet Fourchette c'est... ...une invitation à déguster un bon plat, aux couleurs de la Neuve France ou de la culture amérindienne, associé à une grande sélection de bières de spécialité brassées par Unibroue, et à la plus grande diversité de vins primés du terroir québécois; ...une évocation de l’histoire de la Nouvelle-France à travers les lieux, le décor, l’habillement du personnel et l’animation; ...un endroit unique et une table de choix sur les rives du Richelieu, avoisinant le Fort Chambly ou aux portes du Vieux-Montréal, dans le quartier international des affaires. .

    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.

Its tremendous breadth and depth are the fruit of careful work on the part of the many experts consulted, along with the active participation of residents, associations and institutions, all of them equally concerned that it should include specifi c measures to protect and enhance the Mountain. I am convinced that the measures in the Plan will make Mount Royal one of the fi nest natural and heritage sites on the continent. There will be many challenges as we continue to work toward this goal, and the Plan has the advantage of identifying them clearly: protecting and upgrading natural habitats that are especially sensitive because they are in the heart of the city; preserving and restoring the built heritage and, fi nally, maintaining and enhancing landscapes and views. Gérald Tremblay Meeting these goals calls for a wide variety of actions – from day-to-day vigilance Mayor of Montréal to moving forward with long-term strategic projects. One of the strengths of the Plan is in fact its detailed description of the means for pursuing all of these goals.
