City wants old Royal Vic lands for park

The city has its eye on some of the space behind the old Royal Vic to add to Mount Royal park while McGill wants to turn the original grand old baronial building into a research centre. That leaves several buildings as yet unclaimed. The Société québécoise des infrastructures says it wants the whole complex to be used for the public good, and we already know that the winter shelter is coming back this season although it’s probably not clear yet whether this will be a permanent facility.
