Memento

Inform, mobilize, commit

Together for the protection of our metropolitan heritage

What is Memento?

Heritage Montreal created Memento, a platform for citizens to speak out, raise awareness and enhance and encourage the rehabilitation of threatened heritage sites in the Montreal area. The goal is to protect the identity of the metropolis and its neighbourhoods as well as its collective and local history.

The platform lists threatened heritage sites in order to inform and mobilize citizens and public authorities. It reflects the files being followed by Heritage Montreal as well as the concerns of residents of the Montreal metropolitan area who have issued citizen alerts. The platform also offers tools to promote citizen mobilization.
