DINU’S CORNER
 Royal Victoria Hospital, postal card, Dinu Bumbaru collection.
Heritage Montreal is currently is studying Bill 82 which was submitted to the National Assembly last February by Minister Christine St-Pierre. This important legislative reform contains interesting proposals, such as one that would include specific objectives within the conservation plans of buildings, sites and heritage areas.
Parliamentary hearings are expected to be announced shortly, at which time we will propose the inclusion of incentives to support property owners and investors involved in heritage conservation. We will also propose a method to evaluate the actual impact of construction projects on heritage value, drawing lessons from regrettable decisions made in the past, such as the expansion of the McGill University’s Molson stadium where newly installed bleachers block the view of the mountain, despite formal promises from the parties involved.
The uncertain future faced by many of our major heritage institutions – The Society of Saint-Sulpice philosophy seminary (Marianopolis College), the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Grey Nuns Motherhouse (maison mère des Sœurs Grises), the Très-Saint-Nom-de-Jésus church – also brings to light the need for new methods to ensure their future, both economically as well as their terms of heritage value, a issue that has fuelled Heritage Montreal’s collaboration with Les amis de la montagne and the business community.
THE MILK BOTTLE HONOURED ONCE AGAIN
 Heritage Montreal’s “Guaranteed Pure Milk” campaign was honoured once again during last night’s Prix d’excellence de la Société Québécoise des professionnels en relations publiques (SQPRP) ceremony in Montreal. The communications firm Ryan Affaires publiques was awarded the Prix Platine in the category “Campagne sociétale”.
The Prix d’excellence is the second award received for this campaign. In February, the marketing and communications agency Sid Lee was awarded the Grand Prix Grafika in the category “Cause sociétale”.
Congratulations to Ryan and Sid Lee both key partners of Heritage Montreal who helped make our Guaranteed Pure Milk Bottle project such a great success!
