Sourdes-muettes: city also wants action

Prodded into response by Liza Frulla’s recent statement about the deterioration of the disused Institut des sourdes-muettes on St‑Denis, Benoit Dorais says the city wants to act. Unfortunately, Dorais, who’s in charge of housing at city hall, hasn’t got much to say in this piece, except that they’re working on a plan.

The building belongs to Quebec, which offered it to the city in 2018, but – not wanting the inevitably steep bill for renovations – the city declined the offer. Quebec’s offer of a free building apparently didn’t come with any funding.
