  • 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.

  • Canada's Worst Summer Ever
    Canada’s Worst Summer Ever By David K. McDonnell (© David K. McDonnell) 1847 is “Black 47” in Ireland -- the worst of a short span of years in which well over a million Irish died of starvation and famine-related diseases and an equal number left the island forever. Thousands of Irish were forcibly evicted from their peasant huts and small potato fields, and placed aboard ships bound for Canada. They arrived in the summer of 1847, bringing contagious diseases with them. Canada never had a worse summer. The Famine Centuries of English efforts to subdue the Irish led to a continual cycle of Irish rebellion and defeat, and English confiscation of rebel lands after each Irish defeat. Irish were pushed onto ever smaller parcels and onto land not especially suitable for agriculture. Such small parcels had to somehow support an extended family of three, sometimes four, generations living in the same peasant hut. Nearly all of Ireland was owned by English landlords, with the Irish living as tenants on their own island, at atrociously high rent. For the Irish tenant farmer, only one crop could grow on a few acres with sufficient yield to sustain a large family -- the potato. Potatoes are incredibly rich in calories, protein and essential nutrients. The rural Irish didn’t live on potatoes because they liked them, but because they didn’t have income with which to buy anything else to eat. The potato diet kept the Irish hovering around the subsistence level for over a hundred years. This is a polite way of saying that rural Irish starved when crops failed, and lived when the crops did not.

  • 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.

Donehower, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2021 My doctoral research in urban performance engages both creative and academic research modalities to explore the performative interactions between performance and its city of situation, putting into practice a spectrum of historical and contemporary techniques for engaging critically and creatively with urban places. Curiocité is an urban theatre and performance dramaturgy oriented toward apprehending and representing—through curious modalities, narratives, and media—the histories, ambiguities, and differential material and social effects of ongoing capitalist processes on urban neighbourhoods.

This study of the Montreal neighbourhood of Little Burgundy explores how the physical, social, and ideological conditions left by urban renewal shaped neighbourhood action in the post-renewal period by focusing on three aspects.

  • The City and the St. Lawrence – Analysis of Development Issues and Potential
    CHAPTER ONE The Montréal Harbourfront: A History The City and the St. Lawrence – Analysis of Development Issues and Potential Introduction The story of Montréal's old harbour is at the heart of much of Canada's economic, political and social his- tory, and can consequently be considered of national significance. It is a story rooted in its geography, which combines three features highly conducive to the development of a dynamic port. First, the area forms a natural harbour- an essential precondition for the settlement of New France during the 17th century, when rivers were the only important links to the outside world. It is also situated at the confluence of three major waterways offering access to the interior of the North American continent (the 8 St. Lawrence, Ottawa and Richelieu rivers). Finally, the harbour is located at the western boundary of the navigable section of the St. Lawrence. Since navigation was hampered by the Lachine Rapids, it was for a significant time an obligatory stopping point, as well as a hub for the exploration and development of the hinterland. Birthplace of the modern port of Montréal (today North America's largest inland fresh- water port), the old harbourfront is also, more broadly, the cradle of Montréal and its surroundings.
