    Mergers and De-Mergers: Implications for Environmental Planning and Management in Montreal by David Brown Summary This article examines the effect of the recent forced municipal mergers on environmental planning and management in the Montreal region. Following an overview of the mergers, consideration is given to the need for a balance between top-down and bottom-up approaches to environmental planning, the relative advantages of the pre- and post-merged states and, finally, the prospects for the future. Two questions underlie the discussion: (I) Has the merger made it easier to apply an ecosystem approach to environmental planning and management? (2) To what extent is it possible for residents in the new city of Montreal to maintain a sense of belonging and stewardship with respect to their local environment? Sommaire Cet article se penche sur /'incidence des recents regroupements forces de municipalites dans la region de Montreal, dans l'optique de la planification et de la gestion environnementale.Apres un survol des amalgamations, ii est question du besoin d'equilibrer les approches ascendantes et descendantes en planification environnementale, des avantages re/atifs avant et apres /es amalgamations et, pour terminer, des perspectives d'avenir. Deux questions sous-tendent cet expose : I) L'amalgamation a-t-elle facilite /'application d'une approche axee sur /es ecosystemes en ce qui a trait a la planification et a la gestion environnementale? 2) Dans quelle mesure les habitants de la nouvelle ville de Montreal peuvent-ils perpetuer leur sentiment d'appartenance et d'intendance a l'egard de l'environnement local? or the past few years, politics and facilities and services; adequate infra­ Fplanning have been a potent mix as structure; and improved competitiveness the Quebec government forced many of Quebec's cities within the global municipalities in urban agglomerations marketplace.

  • Globalization, Governance and the New Regionalism: Planning Responses in Montreal, Canada
    Wolfe, J.M., Globalization and Planning: Montreal, Canada, 39th ISoCaRP Congress 2003 GLOBALIZATION, GOVERNANCE AND THE NEW REGIONALISM: PLANNING RESPONSES IN MONTREAL, CANADA. Jeanne M. Wolfe School of Urban Planning, McGill University, 815 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, Qc. H3A 2K6 Canada [email protected] Abstract. The responses of urban areas to globalization have been many and varied. The ever increasing flows of trade, capital, information, and people have forced a re- thinking of the way in which urban areas are governed and managed. Senior levels of government, in an effort to capture increased economic activity, are endeavouring to find ways in which to improve the attractiveness and competitiveness of cities. In Canada this has taken the form of creating super-municipalities through the forced amalgamation of suburban local governments with central cities. This has been the case for Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Halifax, Quebec City and Montreal to name but a few. These new cities have responsibilities in the areas of economic development, urban planning, cultural and social development, environmental control, infrastructure provision, and some social welfare activities although these are partially shared with provincial governments. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the changes to planning practice in the region of Montreal following radical municipal reforms started in 2000, in which the Montreal Metropolitan Community was created and all 28 municipalities of the Island of Montreal were amalgamated, and briefly compares

  • A Bicycle Network for a North American Metropolis: the Case of Montreal
    A Bicycle Network for a North American Metropolis: The Case of Montreal Marc Jolicoeur, Research Coordinator, Vélo Québec 1251 Rue Rachel Est, Montreal H2 J2J9, Canada [email protected] Summary There are nearly two million cyclists in Greater Montreal, and responsibility for the development of the city's bicycle networks lies in the hands of 122 municipalities. Many of these municipalities have made the creation of bikeways a priority and the metropolitan area now has a bike network comprising over 1,000 kilometres. The 29 municipalities on the island of Montreal have cooperated on the creation of this network via the Montreal Urban Community (MUC), but there has been little concerted action at the metropolitan level. The Réseau vélo métropolitain (Metropolitan Bicycle Network) is a project launched in 1998 to develop a unified bicycle network that will connect all parts of the metropolitan area and to make transportation by bike and public transportation more compatible. The goals of this project are: - to provide cyclists with greater access and to increase the use of bicycles as a means of transportation; - to provide a network that will promote economic development by creating a bike-friendly city that is attractive to tourists and investors. The partners in this project include municipalities, which will be responsible for the further development of their bikeways, transit commissions, which will develop better services for cyclists, and Vélo Québec, which has been mandated to coordinate the project. 1. Montreal, a bike-friendly city With over 3 million inhabitants, Greater Montreal is Canada's second largest city and boasts 10% of the country's population within a 50-kilometre radius.

    « CONFIDENTIAL WOMEN AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION: THE MONTREAL CITIZENS MOVEMENT, 1974-1989 Paula Louise van der Veen Department of sociology McGi11 University, Montreal January, 1990 A Thesis submi tted ta the Faculty of Graduate studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (c) Paula Louise van der Veen, 1990 '. ABSTRACT This thesis attempts to further the study of women' s political participation by examining involvement in the Montreal citizens Movement from approximately the time of its founding in the early 1970s to just after its achievement of power in 1986. Three approaches - resource mobilization, sexual division of labor and role conflict­ are used to analyze critically the individual determinants, structural foundations, and nature of this participation, while a brief historical background provides the context for the movement and for i ts participants factions. While authors have studied the MCM' s structure and programs in general and have noted women's involvement primarily in its early stage as a social movement, there has been only limited discussion of women's participation. This thesis builds upon the latter by documenting and analyzinq the nature of such participation using content analysis, participant observation, and persona! interviews. i RESUME Cette thèse essaie de faire avancer l'étude de la participation ;olitlque des femmes en examinant leur implication dans le Rassemblement des citoyens et citoyennes de Montréal à partir du moment de sa fondation au début des années 1970 jusqu'apr~s sa prise de pouvoir en 1986. Trois approches - la mobilisation des ressources, la division sexuelle du travail, et le conflit des r8les sont utilisées pour analyser d'une façon critique les d6terminants individuels, les fondations structurelles, et la nature de cette participation, tandis qu'une revue historique fournit le contexte du mouvement et de ces participants.

Its tremendous breadth and depth are the fruit of careful work on the part of the many experts consulted, along with the active participation of residents, associations and institutions, all of them equally concerned that it should include specifi c measures to protect and enhance the Mountain. I am convinced that the measures in the Plan will make Mount Royal one of the fi nest natural and heritage sites on the continent. There will be many challenges as we continue to work toward this goal, and the Plan has the advantage of identifying them clearly: protecting and upgrading natural habitats that are especially sensitive because they are in the heart of the city; preserving and restoring the built heritage and, fi nally, maintaining and enhancing landscapes and views. Gérald Tremblay Meeting these goals calls for a wide variety of actions – from day-to-day vigilance Mayor of Montréal to moving forward with long-term strategic projects. One of the strengths of the Plan is in fact its detailed description of the means for pursuing all of these goals.

  • Language Plurality As Power Struggle, Or: Translating Politics in Canada * Chantal Gagnon (Concordia University)
    Language plurality as power struggle, or: Translating politics in Canada * Chantal Gagnon (Concordia University) [This version has been slightly revised since the publication of the article in Target.] Abstract For this paper, heterolingualism or language plurality will be considered as the presence in a single text or in a social environment of both French and English, Canada's official languages. Language plurality will here be studied from an institutional viewpoint: the influence of the Canadian government on the translation of political speeches. The first part of this article will establish that political speeches are written in a bilingual environment where the official languages are often in contact. This bilingualism, however, is homogenised when it comes to speeches translation and publication. Therefore, the second part focuses on the speeches’ paratextual features and third looks at the speeches textual features. Keywords: Bilingual Institutions, Pragmatic Translation, Language Plurality, Translation Status, Political Speeches, Canada. 1 Pierre Elliott Trudeau: Let us [English Canadians] treat our minority not with equity, but with generosity as they have learned to do in other countries with minorities. […] Mr. Lynch: I thought you said earlier the English had been generous and had been --- Pierre Elliott Trudeau: I was saying that in French. I say they are not as terrible as they are painted to be. Some of them can be pretty bad. Press Conference, November 25, 1976 0. Introduction In Canada, a patriotic speech would be incomplete without reference to the country’s great natural resources, the vastness of its land and the diversity of its cultures. Such a speech would also include a few words on how the two official languages enrich the country as a whole.
