After the Celebration : Legacy or Burden?

LECTURE PRESENTED ON MAY 3, 2017

Major anniversaries and international events have left their mark on Montreal. Expo 67, the Olympic Games and the 350th anniversary have left buildings that are iconic of the city’s heritage today. The celebrations planned for 2017 have brought the word “legacy” back for debate. Do we provide the means to keep these legacies alive and relevant over the long term?

Moderator:

• Dinu Bumbaru, Policy Director of Heritage Montreal

Speakers:

• Dan Hanganu, architect-designer, at the origin of the Pointe-à-Callières Museum.
• Michel Labrecque, President of the Parc Olympique de Montréal, Chronicler at Radio Canada.
• Josée Boileau, Editor-in-Chief at Le Devoir.

Lecture presented by the McCord Museum and Heritage Montreal.
