Public consultations to begin on the Vic

Public consultations will begin next week on the future of the old Royal Vic building. McGill wants a part of it, a collective research centre may occupy some of the buildings, and there are those who will be watching to make sure the external elements of the site remain accessible to the public, as part of Mount Royal.

The future of Mount Royal itself is becoming a campaign issue with Denis Coderre wanting to abolish the old rule against building taller than the mountain, and others wanting to keep it.
