Petition to Justin Trudeau
- The Canada Lands Company (CLC) presented a “Preliminary Master Plan for the Revitalization of the Old Port of Montreal”;
- This plan profoundly changes the use of Clock Tower Quay, which runs along the river and is home to the Clock Tower, a historic and iconic monument of Old Montreal;
- This plan provides for the construction of a number of buildings that would block one of the rare views of the river and increase the amount of concrete and create heat islands;
- This plan involves handing over a large portion of Clock Tower Quay to the private sector for businesses, restaurants, a hotel and a multi-level parking garage, which will create serious traffic and safety problems.
