I always liked that building. It always gave me a special feeling when swimming there, some deep down fifties movie vibe. It would be very sad if they’d demolish it. Seems swimming pools are doomed in Montreal lately.

It seems a shame but given the structural problems, inevitable – what about replacement ‘la Ville planche sur un projet de remplacement’ OK. any details?

That’s terrible but it doesn’t sound like it’s a done deal quite yet. Because it’s patrimonial, experts will be called in, at least. Like everyone, I love that complex and its Art Deco presence. I’ll keep my eye out for the public meetings.

Is it uniquely the building that has issues or the pools as well? They should consider keeping the façade.

I’d rather they demolish the Olympic Stadium than the Natatorium.
