Recognizing the significance of this event for the heritage conservation community, we were committed at the outset to document the event in the form of proceedings. These proceedings reflect the diversity of the community conserving modern heritage in Canada. There are papers from academics, students, planners, historians, architects, and a visual artist. Modern heritage sites from virtually every region in the country are represented. The range of these historic resources is extraordinary: urban squares, office towers, churches, schools, suburban housing, academic institutions, recreational facilities and cultural centres. The diversity of approaches and the range of activities in documenting and conserving modern heritage are also well represented in this collection of papers. We are grateful to the conference speakers for preparing the essays contained in these proceedings. The essays represent, as accurately as possible, the papers as delivered at Trent University. Each author’s work is presented “in his or her own words”. To promote further understanding of the modern heritage in Peterborough to the broader community, we have produced “Peterborough Modern: A Guide to the Architecture of the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s.” Initiated as a modest bus tour for the conference delegates, the production of a guide for the general public will be a lasting legacy of the conference in the local community. We hope that the Guide will encourage further research and analysis of the modern architecture in Peterborough and stimulate discussion about the value of this heritage. The section that follows acknowledges the contributions of the individuals and organizations without which the conference and the proceedings would not have been possible. On a personal note, we would like to express our gratitude to Geneviève Charrois, Léïc Godbout, Jean-Pierre Landry, Marie-Claude Quessy, and Susan Ross who meticulously reviewed and revised the final texts, and to Shelley Bruce for the graphic design and layout. Finally, it is our hope that the issues and ideas illuminated at Champlain College at Trent University, and presented in these proceedings, will provoke further reflection as well as further activity in documentation, evaluation, conservation, stewardship, and education with respect to modern heritage in Canada.

  • The Mv Cabot and Chimo
    CHAPTER 12 The m.v. Cabot and Chimo (above) each operated weekly from Montreal to St John’s THE 1960s: A NEW NAME, NEW SHIPS AND LAND TRANSPORT The 1960s would bring much change to the Clarke organization. The long-distance passenger services were coming to an end and the company was about to expand through a series of land-based acquisitions to become a nationwide transport operator, rather than the Eastern Canadian shipping company that it had been post-war. The company would have to deal with continued competition to Newfoundland and labour problems in St John's, but by doing so it would put itself in a position to be able to order two large and modern mechanized ships for what would come to be its main route between Montreal and St John's. Older ships would be sold off, others chartered and a new joint venture would be opened to serve Goose Bay and the Arctic. And as the Quebec North Shore highway system developed, the Rivière-du-Loup and Saguenay cross-river ferry operations would be renewed. As ferries replaced passenger ships and other cargo operators came onto the scene, the company would also lose some of its long-standing subsidized services. But at the same time, the scene would be set for entering the overseas trades. Peak Traffic Years In terms of ship movements, the years 1959 and 1960 were the busiest Clarke would ever see, with the company operating no fewer than 500 scheduled sailings in 1960. It also completed innumerable bulk voyages using a large number of chartered vessels.

  • 2015 Annual Report
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT MISSION AND VISION Heritage Montreal has worked to promote and to protect the architectural, historic, natural and cultural heritage of Greater Montreal, its neighbourhoods and communities. This private non- profit organization is at the heart of an extensive network of partners, working through education and representation to celebrate, develop and preserve Montreal’s identity and uniqueness. McGill College © Jean-François Séguin, photographer Séguin, © Jean-François Avenue 2015 ANNUAL REPORT | HERITAGE MONTREAL 1 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT It is now four decades since Heritage Montreal began raising Montrealers’ awareness of the importance of safeguarding and enhancing their urban heritage, and accompanying them on explorations of our city. With celebrations marking our 40th anniversary held throughout the year, 2015 provided opportunities for us to assert more forcefully than ever our collaborative and strategic- action role vis-à-vis elected officials, the media, and members of the Greater Montreal community. While some files had very unfortunate outcomes—for example, the elimination of the vestiges of the former tanneries settlement in Saint-Henri—others were more successful, such as Maison Alcan and the Square Viger project, thanks to the productive actions of Heritage Montreal, among others. As has been the case since the founding of the organization, we will remain vigilant and spare no effort to ensure that heritage value and intelligent land use are considered integral to our city’s identity as well as its social, economic and cultural development. We engaged in many and varied projects during the past year, including the unveiling of our new digital H-MTL platform.
