  • 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.

  • Rigaud City Hall
    Rigaud City Hall Construction was recently completed on Rigaud City Hall, a new civic administration facility for a small Quebec community fifty kilometres west of Montreal. Located at the confluence of the Rigaud and Ottawa rivers, Rigaud is noted for its natural attractions and historic village center which dates back to New France. Designed by Affleck de la Riva Architects, the project gives new meaning to public administration and municipal activities in Rigaud through an urban redevelopment plan that proposes both the reorganisation of a section of the historic village center and the new city hall building. A pedestrian promenade connects existing public amenities with new facilities, redevelops several vacant lots and links the heart of the village to the Rigaud River. White on White: Democracy and Transparency While Rigaud City Hall is a modest building respectful of the scale of its municipality, it projects a strong civic image. Accessible and close to the ground, in dialogue with both the citizen and its territory, the new city hall symbolizes community, pride and participation in collective life. The architecture of the new city hall alludes to the archetype of the classical temple whose form is associated with the birth of democracy. White on white, the building evokes clarity, honesty and freedom of expression - values essential to the proper functioning of civil society. Luminous and unadorned, the building blends into the northern landscape of the Ottawa Valley. The council chamber is suspended above the plaza and main entrance to the city hall creating a signal highly visible from neighbouring streets. Fully glazed on three facades, the chamber presents the exercise of democracy as a transparent activity.

  • Metropolises Study Montreal
    Metropolises A metropolis is a major urban centre where power and services are concentrated, and where issues abound. People in the surrounding region and even in the national territory as a whole are drawn to it. Today metropolises are increasingly powerful, which has repercussions for the entire planet. Québec Education Program, Secondary School Education, Cycle One, p. 276 Study Territory: Montréal Note: This is an archived study file and is no longer updated. Portrait of the territory A French-speaking metropolis in North America About half of the population of the province of Québec is concentrated in the urban agglomeration of Montréal (also known as the Greater Montréal area), Québec’s largest metropolis, which has a population of 3.6. million people. The new demerged city of Montréal accounts for 1.6 million of these people, almost the entire population of the Island of Montréal. Montréal is the second largest metropolis in Canada, after Toronto, which has a metropolitan area with a population of over 5 million. In Canada, only Vancouver, Ottawa-Gatineau, Calgary and Edmonton also have metropolitan areas of over 1 million people. Updated source: Stats Canada Population profile The suburbs farthest from the centre of Montréal are experiencing the fastest population growth. In fact, for the last 10 years, the population of the city of Montréal itself has only increased slightly, with immigration compensating for the low birth rate of 1.1 children per family. Montréal is consequently a very multicultural city, with immigrants making up 28% of its population. (This percentage drops to 18% for the entire urban agglomeration).

It should be read in parallel with the Council of Europe’s response to Montreal ICC Index questionnaire1, which contains many recommendations and pointers to examples of good practice. 1. Introduction Montréal is located in Québec province, south-eastern Canada. With 1,704,694 inhabitants (2016) it is the second most-populous city in the country. At 365 km2, the city of Montreal occupies about three-fourths of Montréal Island (Île de Montréal), the largest of the 234 islands of the Hochelaga Archipelago, one of three archipelagos near the confluence of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers. The city was founded in 1642 by European settlers in view to establish a Catholic missionary community on Île de Montréal. It was to be called Ville-Marie, after the Virgin Mary. Its current name comes from Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill in the heart of the city. From the time of the confederation of Canada (1867), Montréal was the largest metropolitan centre in the country until it was overtaken by Toronto in the ‘70s.

  • Griffintown: Identity and Memory in an Irish Diaspora Neighbourhood
    Matthew Barlow Griffintown Identity and Memory in an Irish Diaspora Neighbourhood Sample Material © UBC Press 2017 This series presents distinctive works that challenge conventional understandings of not only who speaks for history but also how history is spoken, and for whom. In an era when the possibilities for collaborative research and public engagement are almost limitless – when the term history can at once embrace deeply personal life stories and the broad scope of a public museum exhibit – the need to explore new methodological models and assess their ethical implications has never been so vital. This series, unique in its focus, provides the pivot for a transformative vision of historical practice. The first three volumes in the series are: According to Baba: A Collaborative Oral History of Sudbury’s Ukrainian Community Stacey Zembrzycki (2014) Oral History at the Crossroads: Sharing Life Stories of Survival and Displacement Steven High (2014) Beyond Testimony and Trauma: Oral History in the Aftermath of Mass Violence Steven High (2015) Sample Material © UBC Press 2017 © UBC Press 2017 All rights reserved.

  • Tunnel Database: an Information System Useful for Underground Construction in Montreal
    Tunnel Database: An Information System Useful for Underground Construction in Montreal V. Leroux, J. Lavoie-C. & A. Campeau, Division de l'expertise et du soutien technique - City of Montreal, Quebec, Canada ABSTRACT The City of Montreal constructed, in a period between 1960 and 1990, nearly a hundred major tunnel structures whose work data have been collected and archived in a paper format. This data is of growing interest as many major tunnel projects are being planned or completed in Montreal. In order to make this information accessible, the City of Montreal has created a database on production and geological data of tunnels. This data processing tool facilitates decision- making during project planning, refinement of geological interpretations during geotechnical studies, statistical processing prior to the preparation of geotechnical baseline reports (GBR) and work monitoring. Several elements of underground excavation monitoring data were statistically analyzed. Project progress encountered were thus correlated with the lithostratigraphic units, structural characteristics and excavation methods employed. RÉSUMÉ La Ville de Montréal a réalisé, au cours de la période s'étalant de 1960 à 1990, une centaine d'ouvrages majeurs en tunnel dont les données de suivi des travaux ont été colligées et archivées en format papier. Ces données soulèvent un intérêt grandissant alors que de nombreux projets majeurs de tunnels sont en planification ou en réalisation à Montréal. Afin de rendre accessible cette information, la Ville de Montréal a réalisé une base de données portant sur les données de production et de suivis géologiques de tunnels. Cet outil informatique permet une aide à la décision lors de la planification des projets, un raffinement des interprétations géologiques lors des études géotechniques, un traitement statistique préalable à la préparation de rapports géotechniques de référence (GBR) et une facilitation des suivis de travaux.
