They live on in the kindness they showed, the comfort they shared and the love they brought into our lives 7 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE A warm welcome to all our current and new members. I look forward to seeing you out on the greens in yet another fun-filled season of lawn bowling and social activities. With winter behind us, we can now focus on enjoying the sport we love for the next 4 months. Prior to the first bowl rolled at the start of our season, a tremendous amount of work goes into both planning and preparing the greens for our bowling enjoyment. For this reason, I would like to thank our Board Executives and Directors for all of their hard work and their dedication in getting it right for our members. And, to our many volunteers, both out on the greens and indoors at our social events, thank you, without your help our club could not continue to exist. For our social members, this year you can expect to find increased opportunities to participate in a game of Bridge or social activities such as Bingo. We will also be extending our fall activities to include indoor Bocce bowling. -

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home. -
From the Closet to the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery
175 ISSN: 1755-068 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) From the Closet To the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery Evan Pavka This paper argues that the burials of individuals who engaged, or were speculated to have engaged, in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were in constant relation to the material and metaphoric closet. Due to limited archival material concerning cases of same-sex activity in Montreal, Canada, I look out toward international grave sites to construct a framework for analysis. Using case studies from French and American cemeteries alongside those in Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal, I argue that, for those whose memory is directed by the living, the grave functions much like the closet—closing or disclosing what institutions and society deemed “abominable.” However, more powerful individuals were able to subvert the authority of the cemetery by immortalizing their “romantic friendships” in the grave. By navigating the binaries of the closet—closure/disclosure, hetero/homosexual and repression/pride— the grave has the potential to function as an important archive of identity, sexuality and memory. 176 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) The article ‘Israeli Supreme Court Rejects Family Petition To Bury Trans Woman As Their ‘Son’,’ published by Buzzfeed in 2015, outlines how the parents of trans-activist May Peleg sought to commemorate her as “their son.”1 Emphasizing burial as an instrument to rectify her gender and sexuality, the spatial realities of the closet embedded in this article parallel the burials of those who engaged in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.2 The article speaks to the continued presence of the closet—closing or disclosing gender and sexuality—in death. -

Plan De Conservation DU SITE PATRIMONIAL DU MONT-ROYAL 2018 - 2
Plan de conservation DU SITE PATRIMONIAL DU MONT-ROYAL 2018 - 2 - Dépôt légal – Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, 2018 ISBN 978-2-550-81609-6 (PDF) © Gouvernement du Québec, ministère de la Culture et des Communications MOT DE LA MINISTRE Le mont Royal est un véritable joyau au cœur de la plus grande ville du Québec. Déclaré site patrimonial le 9 mars 2005, ce territoire d’une superficie d’environ 750 hectares englobe les trois sommets du mont Royal et une portion de ses flancs. Il présente une concentration d’éléments distinctifs – relevant des domaines du sacré, du savoir, de la santé, du loisir, des services civiques et de l’habitation – qui reflètent ses multiples usages. Il nous faut poursuivre les efforts pour assurer la mise en valeur de ce site emblématique et, surtout, pour en préserver l’intégrité dans l’intérêt des générations actuelles et futures. Cela passe nécessairement par notre souci de le comprendre et de le protéger. C’est le propos et l’intention de ce plan de conservation. Le patrimoine culturel constitue une richesse collective exceptionnelle, mais une richesse malheureusement non renouvelable. Il mérite donc d’être considéré avec soin et vigilance. Ce document regroupe les connaissances acquises sur le site patrimonial et son histoire. De plus, il définit les orientations nécessaires à l’analyse des demandes d’autorisation relatives aux articles 64 et 65 de la Loi sur le patrimoine culturel. Il deviendra notre cadre de référence pour intervenir dans le respect des valeurs d’origine, dans un esprit de dynamisme et en écho aux besoins de la population. -

PREFACE. It has occurred to the author very often that a volume presenting the peculiar features, favorite resorts and distinguishing characteristics, of the leading cities of America, would Peculiarities of American cities. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.05993 Library of Congress prove of interest to thousands who could, at best, see them only in imagination, and to others, who, having visited them, would like to compare notes with one who has made their PECULIARITIES a study for many years. A residence in more than a hundred cities, including nearly all that are introduced in this work, leads me to feel that I shall succeed in my purpose of giving to the public a book, without the necessity of marching in slow and solemn procession before my readers a monumental array of time-honored statistics; on the contrary, it will be my aim, in the following pages, to talk of cities as I have seen and found them in my walks, from day to day, with but slight reference to their origin and past history. -
