Have you heard about Ilot Voyageur?
Quebec's largest failed project in recent years
A six-story building in a state of neglect
1,000 student rooms that were never built
Over 300 M$ of public funds wasted, and it's in the heart of the city
Since 2007
Did I hear «USELESS»? Think about it, what could we do with this?
A Hotel?
There's plenty of those around.
A library?
The Grande Bibliothèque is right across the street.
Some luxurious condos?
They're quite abundant in the area.
Let's get serious.
We're talking about a major public investment that we're going to pay for the next 30 years
A building that is now being sold off to a private developer
Is that what we really want?
What if together we tried to change the end of the story?
With the CHUM and other new schools in the neighbourhood,
It's more than 6,000 students that add up to the current 46,000
in the Latin Quarter.
