MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
I am delighted to present the 2014 Annual Report of the
Heritage Montreal Foundation and invite you to join us in
celebrating our 40th anniversary.
For four decades, Heritage Montreal
has made sustained efforts to raise
awareness of, enhance and conserve
Montreal’s heritage identity.
Although we saw some regrettable outcomes—not least the
demise of the Redpath House—2014 marked an opportunity
to engage with the public on the issues of vulnerable
heritage buildings and the future of the hospital complexes,
most notably as part of an international symposium.
The past year also brought its share of good news that reminded us of the importance of the
work we do every day, and that encouraged us to press forward with determination. The new
public role of the Notman House, now La maison du Web / Home of the Web, is a fine example
of revitalization of a heritage building of importance to Montreal and indeed the entire country,
made possible by the creative engagement of its owners and a group of investors. Likewise,
we welcomed the announcement by the Montréal Impact soccer club that it would acquire the
Caserne Letourneux, which is on our list of 10 threatened emblematic sites. We are continuing
to monitor this file closely, to ensure that the site is properly developed and its heritage value
is respected.
The year 2014 also saw the arrival of Marie-Claude Landry as Executive Director of Heritage
Montreal. Her extensive experience in administration, strategic planning and philanthropic
funding firmly convinced us of her ability to oversee implementation of projects that will reinforce
the organization as well as the development of strong and lasting partnerships.
I thank the members of our Board of Directors for their loyal dedication, along with everyone
on our permanent staff and the hundred or so volunteers who help to uphold the reputation
and success of Heritage Montreal.
MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT
Dear Friends of Heritage Montreal,
As you read this, we are celebrating our 40th anniversary.
Happy birthday to us!
It was truly a privilege for me to join the Heritage Montreal
family last May as Executive Director. From the first months
of my tenure, we seized the opportunity to embark on a
consolidation and review of our processes. I salute the entire
team for doing an outstanding job and remaining keenly
focused on our goals during this transition.
Above all, this past year we continued our awareness and
education efforts around heritage and urban development
issues, by means of coherent actions and quality programs.
Heritage Montreal orchestrates a great many initiatives
with promise for the city’s future. Many of them happen
in the city, like our Family Workshops, which are growing
in popularity, and our ArchitecTours, which despite the
vagaries of the weather again attracted nearly a thousand participants. Looking at the broader
picture, in partnership with elected officials and decision-makers we are actively involved in the
major issues of the day, such as the rejuvenation of Sainte-Catherine Street. I thank our donors
and partners for their generous support, which makes all these projects and activities possible.
Heritage Montreal orchestrates a
great many initiatives with promise
for the city’s future.
Every one of our actions aims to
ensure a quality, liveable urban
environment for all Montrealers—one
that more and more of you will want
to explore and appreciate. You are
the key to our city’s reputation and
its future.
With that in mind, in this, our 40th year, I extend an invitation to each of you: talk about us! Be
ambassadors for Heritage Montreal and its mission.
We all share a great love for Montreal and a profound attachment to our collective heritage.
May all this enthusiasm continue to spread far and wide.
Let us continue this Montreal adventure together, to ensure that we are here to celebrate another
forty years, and beyond. Happy 40th!

AWARENESS AND
EDUCATION PROGRAMS
ArchitecTours
The large institutions at the heart of
our neighbourhoods
The theme of 2014’s ArchitecTours, held from
August 2 to September 21, was the large
institutions that have shaped our city’s
neighbourhoods. Architecturally, these major
sites, including convents, places of worship,
hospitals and schools, have left their mark on
the landscape of Montreal’s downtown and its
neighbourhoods.
Because of their educational value, ArchitecTours
are intrinsically linked to Heritage Montreal’s
mission. The foundation has promoted discovery
of Montreal’s heritage through these tours since
1988, encouraging participants to get involved
in its protection as well as think about the
challenges of conserving it.
What better way to spend the day
than being outside with the family,
and learning while having fun!

Family Workshops
Little Burgundy: on the traces of the village of
Sainte-Cunégonde
Following a pilot project in 2012, the Family Workshops
returned this year. From May 25 to June 15, families
were invited to discover the former village of SainteCunégonde. Nearly 40 young explorers aged between 5
and 10, along with their parents or grandparents, set out
to trace the origins of this now-vanished industrial village.
Accompanied by animators, the children were introduced
to the architecture, urban history and heritage of Montreal.
We thank our partner, Norton Rose Fulbright.
We are grateful to our generous and invaluable partners:
Ivanhoé Cambridge, the Entente sur le développement
culturel de Montréal (supported by the Ministry of Culture
and Communications and the City of Montreal), Auberge
Bonaparte, and the Société des musées de Montréal.
It’s a great introduction to architecture:
the kids learn how to look at buildings.
Bicycling through time
For the second year in a row, Heritage Montreal
presented a cycling tour. The 2014 edition
explored two very different green spaces: the
Saint-Michel Environmental Complex in the
former Miron Quarry, and the Parc-nature de
l’Île-de-la-Visitation.
More than 30 people enjoyed this educational
activity, led by volunteer guides with the
support of our assistants.

Maison
Coup de cœur
April 18 was established as the International
Day for Monuments and Sites by the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) in 1983, with a
different theme celebrated every year since
that date. In 2014, its sixth year participating in
this event, Heritage Montreal brought together
partners from diverse backgrounds to develop
an activity program.
Montreal Architectural Heritage Campaign (MAHC)
Heritage Montreal introduced the Montreal
Architectural Heritage Campaign (MAHC)
in partnership with the City of Montreal, in
1990. This annual awareness campaign was
born out of a shared realization that preventive
maintenance is essential to ensuring the
preservation and enhancement of our city’s
neighbourhoods. Every year, the MAHC
Awards recognize efforts by homeowners to
maintain their properties in a manner respectful
of their architectural integrity. The campaign is
also a privileged opportunity for members of
the public to explore the rich diversity of built
heritage in the various neighbourhoods of the
Island of Montreal.
The winner of the 2014 Maison Coup de cœur
people’s choice award was announced on
November 17, 2014, at the Notre-Dame Basilica.
Heritage Montreal also presented a free guided tour on April 12, exploring the various
commemorative monuments in Dorchester Square and Place du Canada. This public space,
originally laid out in 1870, soon became the gateway to the city and one of the most prestigious
civic spaces in Canada.
I really appreciate the activities you put on—
enough to talk about them with friends and
urge them to take part. I’ve lived in Montreal
since 1981 and I haven’t stopped discovering
the city, mostly because of you. Thank you!

In all, more than 200 people took part in the guided tours and lectures held during the week
marking the International Day for Monuments and Sites in Montreal.
The century-old family home at 215 Avenue
Brock Nord in Montreal West took the honour.
More than 26,000 votes were cast via the
website operationpatrimoine.com during this
24th edition of the MAHC.
Home Renovation Courses
Heritage Montreal has run this educational
program for more than 30 years. To date, it has
allowed some 8,000 homeowners to acquire
and develop the skills necessary to inspect,
appraise, maintain, replace and repair various
elements of their homes.
The theme for 2014 was commemoration,
expressed in the form of engraved inscriptions,
mausoleums, monumental sculptures,
cemeteries and memorial gardens. Montreal
has many rich examples of this heritage, and
there are major challenges involved in its
conservation and enhancement.

Entretiens Jacques Cartier
Metropolis and Its Institutional Heritage: The Issue of Repurposing
Guided tours
At the Heart of the City
In the spring of 2014 Heritage Montreal and
Ivanhoé Cambridge presented a series of three
architectural tours of downtown Montreal
titled At the Heart of the City. Fanning out
from Dorchester Square—formerly Dominion
Square, which was created in the 19th century
and became the gateway to downtown—
each tour explored various milestones in the
development of the city, from the first major
construction projects such as Windsor Station
and Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral to
office and retail complexes like the Sun Life
and Dominion Square buildings, and the iconic
Place Ville Marie, symbol par excellence
of modern Montreal. The tours provided a
way to explore the downtown core from a
new perspective and satisfy the curiosity of
businesspeople who work there every day.
The Tuesday and Thursday evening guided
tours were offered from May 13 to June 19
and proved quite popular, attracting nearly
300 participants.
Thank you to our partner, Ivanhoé Cambridge.
From October 5 to 7, 2014, Heritage Montreal
presented the symposium Metropolis and
Its Institutional Heritage as part of the 27th
Entretiens Jacques Cartier.
This international gathering examined a topical
issue facing Montreal and other metropolitan
areas: the future of large institutional
complexes of heritage value. More specifically,
the future of hospitals was the focus of this
highly interesting and inspiring event. Guest
speakers reviewed and studied concrete
examples from France, the United States
and Canada with any eye to exploring the
Speakers and guests
issues and challenges facing these vast former
hospital sites so emblematic of the collective
memory of the city - and to learn lessons for Montreal.
The program developed by Heritage Montreal for this event included guided tours of Hôtel-Dieu
de Montréal and the Royal Victoria Hospital. There was also a public lecture in the auditorium
of Hôtel-Dieu. The activities organized by the Foundation attracted some 200 people.

ACTIONS TAKEN IN DEFENCE
OF MONTREAL’S HERITAGE
Schools on rue Adam
Over the years, Heritage Montreal has submitted a number of
applications for classification to the provincial ministers responsible
for culture and heritage, to ensure lasting recognition and protection
of certain heritage structures and sites, including Mount Royal, the
Botanical Gardens, Windsor Station and Habitat 67.
The Baril, Hochelaga and SaintNom-de-Jésus schools, located
respectively at 3603, 3349 and
4131 Rue Adam were built between
1910 and 1922. Together, they
constitute a remarkable ensemble
of buildings that reflect the
attention paid to civic architecture
in Montreal’s urban, social and
i n s t i t u t i o n a l d eve l o p m e n t .
In acknowledgement of the
important challenges tied to the
future of these heritage buildings plagued by maintenance and hygiene problems, and their
status as part of the living landscape of the city’s neighbourhoods, the schools were added to
Heritage Montreal’s list of 10 threatened emblematic sites in 2014. School board authorities
have decided to renovate the Hochelaga and Saint-Nom-de-Jésus schools, but to demolish
and rebuild the Baril school. Heritage Montreal has begun discussions with those authorities in
hopes of of preventing the loss of any more emblems of our educational built heritage.
Demolition
Redpath House
In February and March 2014, the Redpath
House met the same fate as the Van Horne
Mansion, demolished in September 1973. This
latest demolition, authorized by the City of
Montreal, marked the conclusion of a saga
that began in 1986, and it went ahead despite
repeated objections and the intervention of
the former Minister of Culture, Maka Kotto, at
whose behest an engineering consulting report
was published, proving that the house could
have been renovated. In the wake of this event,
Heritage Montreal’s members met to take stock
of the situation and develop proposals to be
submitted to the City of Montreal to prevent
such situations from recurring. Montreal City
Council shared our concern, and unanimously
passed a motion to establish an inventory of
vulnerable heritage buildings and to develop
preventive measures.

Redpath House
Revitalization
Sainte-Catherine Ouest project
As part of the consultations initiated by the City
of Montréal around the project to revitalize Rue
Sainte-Catherine Ouest, Heritage Montreal
submitted a document that emphasizes the
importance of taking a broader view of this
iconic artery and its urban fabric and, in turn,
the need for an integrated vision to ensure the
long-term vitality of this heritage ensemble.
Rue Sainte-Catherine must be treated as an
effervescent, emblematic urban landscape,
characterized both by the vibrant activity on
the street and by its architecture, including
some interiors. Its future depends among other
things on enhancing the ability to walk in all
seasons, rather than complete, permanent
pedestrianization. This topic was one of those
explored at the City Talks lectures, presented
jointly with the McCord Museum.

file, and has a seat on the project’s Comité
d’accompagnement “support committee”
constituted by Montreal’s administration.

During the year, numerous themes and issues
emerged. Demolition, which we tend to
associate more with the 1970s, a dark decade
for heritage and development, reared its head
once again.
The challenges of revitalization—with respect
to the future of institutional complexes,
among other things—were discussed as
part of consultative processes with an eye
to repurposing projects that, it is hoped,
will be relevant and of high quality. Lastly,
Heritage Montreal continued participating
in consultations and actions grounded in our
principles of urban development excellence.
In 2014, the Heritage Montreal Heritage
and Development Committee (known by its
French acronym, COPA) continued its rigorous
deliberations, focusing on several key files.

decision to classify two buildings for which we had requested this
official recognition: the Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours Chapel and the
Ernest Cormier Building.

New Quebec government
Following the spring 2014 provincial elections, Heritage Montreal wrote to the Premier and
certain members of his government, forwarding the resolutions of our Annual General Meeting
and briefly reiterating Quebec’s responsibilities in matters of heritage and urban planning. Those
responsibilities are stated, for example, in legislation enacted by the National Assembly, including
the 2006 Sustainable Development Act. We also drew their attention to certain topical issues
such as the future of institutional built heritage and hospital complexes, the coming amendments
to the Act Respecting Land-Use Planning and Development, the improvements to the Cultural
Heritage Act begun by the previous government, the recognition of Montreal as a metropolis,
and the implementation of tax incentives for heritage conservation.
Participation
Royal Victoria
Hospital
Hersey Pavilion
In addition to its collaborations with various
organizations like Friends of the Mountain,
Culture Montréal, the Board of Trade of
Metropolitan Montreal and the Fédération
Histoire Québec, Heritage Montreal is
continuing its policy of participating in
committees and issue tables created by public
authorities to help improve practices and tools
essential to the protection and enhancement of
Institutions
Hospital complexes
For a number of years, Heritage Montreal has
voiced its concerns about the often uncertain
futures of large institutional complexes of
heritage value, and about the absence of
planning for the reuse of significant sites
such as the Hôtel-Dieu and Royal Victoria
hospitals, as well as the former Hôpital de
la Miséricorde, which is on our 2014 list of
10 threatened emblematic sites. Heritage
Montreal recommended that the Government
of Quebec collaborate with Montreal
authorities to properly plan the repurposing
of these sites, in the public interest.
The government acknowledged the importance
of this issue during the year, and published the
reports and recommendations of a group of
experts studying the surplus sites of the CHUM
and those of the MUHC on Mount Royal.
16
In October 2014, Heritage Montreal convened
a panel of experts for the international public
symposium Metropolis and Its Institutional
Heritage: The Issue of Repurposing, held as
part of the 27th Entretiens Jacques-Cartier.
The meeting provided the opportunity to
study experiences from North America and
France pertaining to the complex issues and
challenges facing these vast former hospital
sites, which are emblematic of shared
community values, and to learn lessons for
Montreal regarding types of reuse projects as
well as their objectives.
the city’s built, urban and landscape heritage.
For example, Heritage Montreal is actively
participating in both the Table de concertation
du Mont-Royal and the organizing committee
of the Agora métropolitaine on land use and
development in the city, and intends to resume
participation in the Table de concertation du
Vieux-Montréal.
Montreal urban agglomeration land-use and development plan
The draft plan sets out the broad guidelines that will frame land use and development within
all of the municipalities on the Island of Montreal for the years to come. Among other things,
the guidelines aim to promote quality of life, drive the vitality of the agglomeration overall and
its main hubs of activity and enhance its areas of interest, and cover land-use planning as well
as density of occupancy.
The Agglomeration Council mandated a commission of elected officials to hold public hearings
on the draft plan in the fall of 2014. On that occasion, Heritage Montreal underscored the
importance of viewing the plan not as an administrative formality, but rather as a true strategy
document to enable harmonized development of the agglomeration and to negotiate with
governments. Our brief to the commission emphasized a number of current issues, such as
the quality of consultative processes, the conservation of planned residential neighbourhoods
such as the Town of Mount Royal, Norvick and Cité-Jardin, and the future of institutional sites,
buildings and complexes.

10 THREATENED EMBLEMATIC SITES
OUTREACH
Montreal Heritage: issues challenges and hopes for 2014
630 caring members for our city!
On February 11, 2014, Heritage Montreal announced its
updated list of 10 threatened emblematic sites. It included
familiar landmarks that have been identified by Heritage
Montreal for several years, such as the Redpath House
and the Agora designed by Charles Daudelin, and new
ones: the row of schools on Rue Adam, the Van Horne
Warehouse, and the stables of the Domaine du Boisde-la-Roche in Senneville. This year, four emblematic
sites were withdrawn from the list and placed on the list
of sites “under observation:” the Rodier Building, TrèsSaint-Nom-de-Jésus Church, the Saint-Laurent Block /
Monument National, and Place des Nations. The sites are
all selected by a volunteer committee of Heritage Montreal,
which evaluates the heritage value, the immediacy of the
threat, and the exemplary value of each site, on a case
by case basis.

Thanks to financial support from our members,
donors and business partners, as well as
income generated by our various activities,
we were able to post revenues of $444,893
for the year.
Although revenue from philanthropic initiatives
was higher in 2014 than 2013, certain external
causes, including cuts in finding from various
levels of government, had an impact on our
forecast revenues.
Even if our expenditures of $493,089 were,
exceptionally, greater than our revenues, we
stayed rigorously within budget and even revised certain processes and budget items in
order to realize savings.
Thanks to our loyal Friends, however, we
succeeded in organizing many activities,
taking several actions, and consolidating
our philanthropic base in order to continue
fulfilling our mission of giving a heritage to
future generations.

A HERITAGE FOR THE FUTURE
Heritage Montreal is the driving force behind initiatives that forges
a future rich in heritage.
Places that make the heart of the city beat—over there, on the corner of the street,
behind the parking lot, downtown, right in the middle of our history.
Our architectural, urban and human heritage.
Heritage deeply rooted in the past but promising a bright future.
Most important, a future rich in heritage: a powerful source of inspiration prompting us
to write the next chapter of that history.
