  • Griffintown Golroo Mofarrahi
    Griffintown Golroo Mofarrahi Post-professional graduate program in Cultural Landscapes School of Architecture McGill University August 2009 Report Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master ofArchitecture Golroo Mofarrahi, 2009 Abstract: This study originates from observation that urban neigh bourhoods are in continuous transition as the economy ebbs and flows. Residential neighbour- hoods will either collapse or redlined for new development as their residents start to move out (The Lure of the Local, 202). At the same time, coun- try towns are being abandoned, working class neighbourhoods are further ghettoized and steel towns are rusting in decay as “deserted downtowns con- trast with exurban building booms” (The Lure of the Local, 202). An example of this type of neighbourhood is Griffintown, which was once a working class neighbourhood squeezed between Saint Gabriel farm and the suburbs of Recollets and Victoria town in Montreal. Griffintown was an industrial and residential district. It was urbanised in the 19th century and gradually decayed through the 20th century. As an industrial district it saw the birth of very first large factories of Canada and was known as the industrial heartland of Canada. The area was of great interest to most developers, and various projects have been proposed for this area. This report addresses the follow­ ing question: How does the extent artefact system in Griffintown represent tangible evidence of the way of life before forced resettlement, and are there any artefacts worth preserving in Griffintown, an area slated for imminent development? I Résumé: Cette étude trouve son origine dans la notion selon laquelle les quartiers ur- bains sont engagés dans un cycle de croissance et de déclin soumis aux aléas de la conjoncture économique.

  • Light Blue Cross Sky Photo Simple Church Newsletter
    Catholic Action March 2021 - Newsletter Sharing the Good News A NOTE to Members We hope you are enjoying the community stories about different people in our faith community. Do you have a story to share? Tell us about your parish or maybe a project you are working on. Do you know a good Samaritan? Drop us a line and we will gladly include it in our newsletter. Stay safe and God Bless! Meet Father Scott Two Parishes, Two Languages, One Pastor On September 1, Father Timothy Scott, CSB officially assumed responsibility as pastor of the English-language St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church and of the French-language Église St Charles. Serving as pastor of more than one community comes with its challenges, but this appointment has the added layer of being conducted in two languages. “I had an upcoming funeral that I thought would be in French, but when I checked I realized it was for a member of the English community. When the parishes are sharing the same space and there is one secretary, I need to check in which language the service is to be held. It keeps me on my toes,” he said. The two parishes stand side-by-side in Montreal, Auxiliary Bishop Alain Faubert approached him about serving as pastor of both communities; he was appointed with a four-year mandate. In September, parishioners of St. Gabriel’s were notified that their church would need to close due to structural issues with renovations to be undertaken in the spring. In the meantime, both parishes are celebrating Mass at St-Charles.

  • An Innovative Model, an Integrated Network
    RÉSEAU ÉLECTRIQUE MÉTROPOLITAIN An innovative model, an integrated network / Presentation of the #ProjetREM cdpqinfra.com THE REM: A PROJECT WITH IMPACT The REM is a fully automated, electric light rail transit (LRT) system, made up of 67 km of dedicated rail lines, with 50% of the tracks occupying existing rail corridors and 30% following existing highways. The REM will include four branches connecting downtown Montréal, the South Shore, the West Island, the North Shore and the airport, resulting in two new high-frequency public transit service lines to key employment hubs. A team of close to 400 experts is contributing to this project, ensuring well-planned, efficient and effective integration with the other transit networks. All sorts of elements are being considered, including the REM’s integration into the urban fabric and landscape, access to stations and impacts on the environment. Based on the current planning stage, the REM would become the fourth largest automated transit network in the world, with 27 stations, 13 parking facilities and 9 bus terminals, in addition to offering: • frequent service (every 3 to 12 minutes at peak times, depending on the stations), 20 hours a day (from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.), 7 days a week; • reliable and punctual service, through the use of entirely dedicated tracks; • reduced travel time through high carrying capacity and rapid service; • attention to user safety and security through cutting-edge monitoring; • highly accessible stations (by foot, bike, public transit or car) and equipped with elevators and escalators to improve ease of travel for everyone; • flexibility to espondr to increases in ridership, with the possibility of having trains pass through stations every 90 seconds.
