The fate of the city’s big old churches

This Radio-Canada news clip shows the accelerating decrepitude of one of the city’s many big disused churches, about hopes from nearby residents to save it, not as a religious asset but as a benefit to the community, and about the vast sums of money needed to prop up these buildings, impractical in themselves as community centres, but at least already in existence. They also talk to Phyllis Lambert and Dinu Bumbaru about the situation.
