Sulpicians will rent buildings to schools
As noted a couple of weeks ago, the Sulpicians have decided to move priest training from the Grand séminaire, where 400 young men used to study at a time, but there are now only 20 or 25 students. It’s good to know that they plan to rent the old buildings to schools.

That is good news.

Yes. Fulfilling the intended purpose of the building instead of creating condos for dbags and Airbnb tenants/vandals

As of May, AirBnB listings are supposed to have their licence number posted on all listings, so that RQ can go after anyone renting for under 30 days who isn’t licenced. See https://citq.qc.ca/en/GuideNumeroEtablissement.php for more information.

Unless the Grand Séminaire is fully and equitably accessible to disabled people, it is not appropriate for schools.

@Alison fair enough, especially since current schools are not accessible. A kid in my son’s grade was wheelchair-bound this year (broken leg). His class was on the second floor, so he basically was relegated to a class in a lower grade, since there was no easy way to get him up the stairs every day. I guess in hindsight the public school system’s total inability to provide adequate instruction during the pandemic should not have been so shocking…

Interesting that the school did not understand its primary obligation to the student as meaning they needed to switch classrooms so that your son’s classmate could continue with his class.
Instead, it was the student who was deprived of his education so that the staff wouldn’t have the hassle of moving around.
