On June 10, 2020, the Peter-McGill Community Council held an informational workshop with the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise des infrastructures (SQI) on the redevelopment of the former Royal Victoria Hospital site (corner of University and des pins). This large heritage site at the border of Mount Royal parc has enormous potential to respond to different community needs.<\/p>

At the end of the workshop, participants asked their questions to Sophie Mayes, the Director of the Royal Victoria Reclassification at the SQI. Here are her responses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. Est-ce que la piscine de l’ancien h\u00f4pital sera gard\u00e9e?<\/h3>

Il n\u2019y a pas de d\u00e9cision qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 prise pour l\u2019instant. Bien s\u00fbr, la SQI souhaite voir la pr\u00e9sence de l\u2019eau sur le site, mais sous quelle forme, ce n\u2019est pas encore d\u00e9cid\u00e9. Il y a plusieurs enjeux li\u00e9s aux eaux de ruissellement qui descendent du mont Royal. Pour l\u2019instant, il y a une r\u00e9flexion sur comment g\u00e9rer ces eaux-l\u00e0.<\/em><\/p>

2. What would be the goal in finding other sites\/usages to fill in the real estate?<\/h3>

The guiding principles that were developed by the SQI give us a beginning of an answer, but we are still thinking trough what the future occupant will be. The two items mentioned in my presentation were the fact that a multiplicity of uses is necessary to fill the different spaces on the site because there is a lot of square footage to fill, including the possibility of temporary uses while we find more permanent uses for the site. The second guiding principle is for bringing to light the importance of the future uses as an economic engine for Montreal and in terms<\/em><\/p>

3. On a vu l’int\u00e9r\u00eat \u00e9vident de pouvoir utiliser les lieux rapidement pour les sans-abris en temps de pand\u00e9mie. Est-ce qu’il est pr\u00e9vu de conserver une dimension “socio-m\u00e9dicale” sur les lieux, un peu comme dans l’h\u00f4pital Notre-Dame devenu un h\u00f4pital communautaire apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9placement de services au CHUM ?<\/h3>

Pour l\u2019instant il n\u2019y a pas de r\u00e9ponse ferme \u00e0 ce sujet. L\u2019objectif aujourd\u2019hui, c\u2019\u00e9tait vraiment d\u2019\u00e9couter les id\u00e9es et les r\u00e9flexions par rapport au site. Pr\u00e9sentement, la SQI n’est ferm\u00e9e \u00e0 aucune id\u00e9e ou suggestion, mais vraiment en mode \u00e9coute et r\u00e9flexion.<\/em><\/p>

4. Le logement social fait-il partie des usages envisag\u00e9s? :<\/h3>

\u00c0 cette \u00e9tape pr\u00e9liminaire de d\u00e9veloppement du projet, aucune vocation n\u2019est exclue.<\/em><\/p>

5. Does the McGill Pavilion include any space for students residence?<\/h3>

L\u2019Universit\u00e9 McGill travaille \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9laboration d\u2019un dossier d\u2019opportunit\u00e9 de son projet d\u2019am\u00e9nagement et de r\u00e9novation sur une portion du site. Cette phase de planification est toujours en cours, et il est donc pr\u00e9matur\u00e9 de s\u2019avancer. Toutefois, pour obtenir davantage de pr\u00e9cisions, nous vous invitons \u00e0 communiquer avec le service des communications de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 McGill.<\/em><\/p>

6. Aurait-il des rencontres avec les d\u00e9veloppeurs et propri\u00e9taires de logements sociaux?<\/h3>

Il est pr\u00e9matur\u00e9 de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question, dans la mesure o\u00f9 le projet est en d\u00e9veloppement, mais outre la partie du site qui est d\u00e9volue \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 McGill, les \u00e9tudes et analyses qui seront r\u00e9alis\u00e9es par la SQI prioriseront l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat public.<\/em><\/p>

7. N’ayant pas eu vent du forum, mais ayant un fort int\u00e9r\u00eat (collectif d’organisations) pour prendre part aux discussions, y aura-t-il d’autres opportunit\u00e9s ? J’ai \u00e9galement une pr\u00e9occupation sur la place r\u00e9serv\u00e9e pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 des besoins sociaux.<\/h3>

Nous travaillons \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper d\u2019autres activit\u00e9s en lien avec notre d\u00e9marche participative. En outre, l\u2019opportunit\u00e9 de se prononcer sur le projet lors des consultations publiques qui seront tenues par l\u2019Office de consultation publique de Montr\u00e9al dans le cadre de l\u2019adoption du Plan directeur par la Ville de Montr\u00e9al. Entretemps, vous pouvez consulter notre page web d\u00e9di\u00e9e au projet\u00a0: https:\/\/www.sqi.gouv.qc.ca\/gestionprojets\/Pages\/RoyalVictoria-presentation.aspx<\/a><\/em><\/p>

Suivez la SQI sur Facebook et sur Linkedin pour voir les plus r\u00e9centes nouvelles. Concernant le logement social, \u00e0 cette \u00e9tape pr\u00e9liminaire de d\u00e9veloppement du projet, aucune vocation n\u2019est exclue.<\/em><\/p>

8. Is the space that won’t be part of McGill being developed by private corporations? If so, how can we be sure that profit motive will not prevail over some of the principles stated by the presentation?<\/h3>

Multiplicit\u00e9 d\u2019usages, incluant des occupations transitoires, sera requise pour donner une nouvelle vocation aux \u00e9difices exc\u00e9dentaires. Les \u00e9tudes et analyses qui seront r\u00e9alis\u00e9es par la SQI prioriseront l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat public.<\/em><\/p>

9. Access of the public to the site? McGill Campus needs to be included to get to and from the site.\u00a0 I think of rail we had at EXPO.<\/h3>

Nous avons comme principe directeur de contribuer \u00e0 faciliter l\u2019acc\u00e8s du public au site du parc du Mont-Royal. La SQI travaille pr\u00e9sentement avec la STM afin de bonifier la desserte en transport en commun pour le site.<\/em><\/p>

10. Regarding the site, while the site that McGill will use seems clear, it is not clear some other sectors of the site: the Psychiatry pavilion (used to be known as Allan Memorial Institute) will move or stay there, what are the areas that would be available for other purposes?<\/h3>

L\u2019Institut Allan Memorial sera \u00e9ventuellement relocalis\u00e9 L\u2019immeuble, la Villa Ravenscrag, fait partie du projet de requalification globale du site.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
