Always in light of promoting downtown Montreal, the business development corporation (SDC) works daily to make it an appealing place to live, work and be entertained. Amongst other things, the year 2015 has been marked by its numerous construction endeavours. Many construction projects announced in previous years finally took place. A huge thank you to our promoters who chose to come Carlos Ferreira and invest in the downtown area and make of it a place of President continuous renewal. It is always a delicate thing to name some of these accomplishments for fear of forgetting others of equal value. Most certainly, however, the work done in the railway terminal district and just south of the Bell Centre is worth mentioning. This entire sector that had been dilapidated and nearly abandoned for decades is now redeveloping at stellar speed. This past year has also been marked by public works and the refection of infrastructures. We hope that this will soon be done in order to show the true face of Montreal’s downtown district. The representation of the SDC before competent authorities have multiplied in 2015 and we continue to work André Poulin like this, constantly reminding them that their work can Executive director be conducted with more respect towards merchants, their clients and the entire body of downtown commuters. 4 SDC CENTRE-VILLE History and evolution Economic lever Created in 1999, Destination centre-ville Downtown Montreal’s numerous restau- is a non-profit organization.

This diversity are appealing and integral to its activities. makes downtown Montreal an enticing and economically vibrant neighborhood. OUR MISSION : To be committed to the develop- ment, improvement and promo- tion of downtown Montreal. 5 Medium-term outlook Many projects to come in this vibrant borough: Work on Sainte Catherine : Work on Sainte-Catherine street is scheduled to begin in 2017. The aim is to make the street more merchant-centric, innovative, attractive and pleasant. Parking : To improve downtown Montreal’s parking by offering more parking spaces is one of several objectives for Destination centre-ville. We are giving this a lot of energy as we try to find solutions to this issue that affects workers, residents, clients, business suppliers and occasion travelers. A urban promenade : A river-mountain promenade, called Promenade Fleuve-Montagne will see the light just on time for Montreal’s 375th anniversary. Starting from the river and making its way up Beaver Hall, Sainte-Catherine, McGill College, Sherbrooke and McTavish streets before reaching the Mount Royal. 6 VISIBLE ACTIONS ON THE GROUND Out with the gloom, in with the bloom Each year, we not only enliven downtown streets with thousands of flowers that we set up on lamp posts and at the street level, but we also create urban gardens by parking lots. Herbs, berries and other edible produce grow amidst the business district. Downtown lights and glimmer The holiday season is a magical moment and it is important for the city to reflect this spirit. This is why, each year from November to March, Destination centre- ville sets up a total of 715 light decorations throughout major downtown arteries (Sherbrooke, de Maisonneuve, de la Montagne, Crescent, Sainte-Catherine, Robert-Bourassa and René-Lévesque). In addition, light garlands are set up in trees around four churches: Marie- Reine-du-Monde Cathedral, The Church of St-Andrew and St-Paul, St James the Apostle Anglican Church and St-George’s Anglican Church. 7 Clean streets seven days a week Our cleaning brigade, made up of 30 to 40 staff members depending on the season, ensures that the downtown Montreal streets are cleaned seven days a week. Destination centre-ville adopts a recruiting policy that favours social reintegration.

Dialogue project : This project is part of a YMCA programme that we’ve been helping to finance over the last twelve years. This programme helps the homeless in the process of social reintegration. The team of street workers on this project now counts 5 people. 8 WELL-KNOWN EVENTS Sainte-Catherine Street Celebrates ! Sainte-Catherine Street becomes a pedestrian walkway for a whole weekend in July between Bleury and Guy streets. This popular sidewalk sale celebrated its 18th anniversary in 2015. Sainte-Catherine Street Celebrates! gathers over 150 000 visitors per day and over 300 merchants take part. Artists, stilt walkers, games and resting areas are set up especially for the occasion. Santa Claus Parade The 65th edition of the Santa Claus Parade gathered celebrities like Marie- Ève Janvier, the 2015 star fairy along with famous singer, Michaël Girard. The sun was there to warm the streets too this past year. Just as every year, the event attracts over 300 000 people spread across Saint-Catherine Street West. The parade was also broadcasted on TVA and Yoopa television stations. Back Alley Market The Back Alley Market took place for a second year in a row. This one-month long pilot project (from mid-August to mid-September) aims to showcase the potential of back alleys. Once again, it was well received by workers and residents of downtown Montreal. 9 STRONG PARTNERSHIPS Art souterrain ART SOUTERRAIN, a non-profit organization founded in 2009, show- cases each year international contemporary art institutions, artists, and the architectural and cultural heritage of downtown Montreal’s underground city.

  • Pour Des Espaces Publics Dans Le Centre-Ville De Montréal Adaptés Au Contexte Hivernal Québécois
    POUR DES ESPACES PUBLICS DANS LE CENTRE-VILLE DE MONTRÉAL ADAPTÉS AU CONTEXTE HIVERNAL QUÉBÉCOIS Par François Innes Essai présenté au Centre Universitaire de Formation en Environnement en vue de l’obtention du grade de maitre en environnement (M. Env.) Sous la direction de Jean-François Vachon MAITRISE EN GESTION DE L’ENVIRONNEMENT UNIVERSITÉ DE SHERBROOKE Avril 2018 SOMMAIRE Mots clés : espaces publics, hiver, adaptation, Montréal, centre-ville, observations terrain À de nombreuses époques, les squares et les rues animées ont représenté les pivots autour desquels la ville s’articule et les lieux de prédilection pour rassembler les gens et les activités. Ils sont considérés comme fondamentaux dans le tissu urbain puisque, pour de nombreux penseurs de l’architecture, ils incarnent le théâtre de la vie publique. Sans ces espaces publics, les villes sont susceptibles de plonger dans une augmentation de la privatisation et de la polarisation de la société. Ainsi, pour de nombreux spécialistes en la matière, le fondement d’une vie urbaine plus durable passe par la création de contextes favorables à l’émergence de places publiques de qualité afin d’attirer les citoyens à vivre collectivement. Hélas, la saison hivernale est souvent omise, voire oubliée, dans l’aménagement de la majorité des villes nord-américaines. Le résultat de cette négligence est que les principaux lieux publics de ces villes n’attirent pas les citoyens et sont mornes et sans vie pendant plus de la moitié de l’année. Cet essai vise à évaluer le niveau d’adaptabilité d’une série de parcs urbains du centre-ville de Montréal à l’hiver.

  • 2.6 an Enhanced Architectural, Archaeological and Page 149 Natural Heritage
    2.6 Montréal Master Plan 2.6 An enhanced architectural, archaeological and page 149 natural heritage Montréal’s rich heritage reflects the City’s different periods of urbanization and the various ways of building that characterized them. The widespread recognition of this heritage is largely the accomplishment of the citizens who, for many decades, have been playing an active role in heritage preservation. This role is primarily a collective effort achieved through .6 the vigilance of conservation, information and public awareness groups concerned with the 2 fate of old buildings and properties. It has also been carried out through the individual An enhanced built, efforts of residents who care about their property and neighbourhood. The Ville de Montréal recognizes the value of its heritage. Not only does it reflect the City’s archaeological and history and culture, it also contributes to cultivating a stronger sense of belonging among Montrealers. This heritage also contributes to the City’s tourist appeal and to real estate natural heritage investments. These investments concern mainly the recycling of buildings of interest, the revitalization of older neighbourhoods and the consolidation of sites with heritage or landscape value. The City views its heritage from a broader and more integrated perspective. Thus the Master Plan recognizes the following dimensions of Montréal’s heritage: Built heritage, both old and more recent; Archaeological heritage; Commemorative heritage; Natural, landscape and scenic heritage. Heritage conservation and enhancement must also be integrated into all urban development efforts, both private and public, beyond concerns of a strictly regulatory nature. To complement the goals and objectives pertaining to the urban landscape and architectural quality described in Section 2.5, the City intends to encourage the expression of each borough’s identity through intensified efforts in heritage preservation and enhancement as well as by exemplary action.

Attempts were made to set up a Catholic parish, but because of the small number of Catholics, they did not succeed. After the war, more and more Germans had to leave their homeland, and many came to Canada. In Montreal a larger colony of German Catholics emerged, all of whom more or less also spoke Hungarian, as they had emigrated from Hungary and from the regions separated from Hungary: from Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia. Our people felt very unhappy; they would have liked a Holy Mass with German church songs and with a sermon in German. In 1928 Franciscan Father Jerome Hedly established the Hungarian parish, many of our fellow countrymen joined this community and were members of the same until the emergence of our German community in Saint Louis de France.
