Quebec may renege on amphitheatre promise

Montrealers were, I think, dubious when the Coderre administration decided to build a vast new amphitheatre on St Helen’s Island for Evenko, involving cutting down hundreds of trees and paving a large area of the park. Even so, it isn’t good news for the city that Quebec has withdrawn a promise to help pay for what’s repeatedly called a “natural amphitheatre” in this story.
