Bâtiment 7 (Montreal)

Bâtiment 7 is a space of 90,000 square foot in Montreal in the Quebec province in Canada, converted into a shared community space, in the Pointe Saint-Charles suburb of Montreal. It is located on the previous plot of real estate owned by the train company Canadian National Railway (CN). In 2003, a group of persons living in Pointe Saint-Charles planted a symbolic flag on the terrain that hosted old workshops CN. The popular movement was to demand adapted facilities on the lot for the neighbourhood. Two years after the start of the campaign, CN transferred the lot for a symbolic C$1 to Groupe Mach, a real estate entity that was to facilitate movement of Casino de Montréal to the area financed jointly by Loto Québec and Cirque du Soleil. An important protest was mobilised by various community associations and after 14 years of activism was able to take legal possession of the plot in 2016. Decontamination efforts were pursued and in May 2018, Bâtiment 7 opened its doors. The struggle for the development of the area resulted in the citizens acquiring further space around the facility for community use in 2021.Bâtiment 7 is a complex run independently by the collective "7 à Nous". It included various projects like Le Détour fruits, vegetables and food store run by volunteers, in an area in need of affordable priced food, also Sans-Taverne, a home beer cooperative that distributes beers and alcoholic products in more than 100 locations and bars. The complex also includes the cooperative Press Start that organizes lectures and debates in public gatherings of youth between 14 and 21 years and La Coulée, a solidarity collective teaching various skills including metallurgy. Other collaborative services include preparing cadres of auto and bicycle mechanics, carpentry, silk-screen printing, work on ceramics and photography. Other planned projects include a collaborative culinary space, child birth aid, a nursery and autonomous works.

Verdun Auditorium
Verdun Auditorium

The Verdun Auditorium (French: Auditorium de Verdun) is an arena located in the borough of Verdun, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The building was constructed in 1938 and holds 4,114 seats. The largest arena in the west end of Montreal, the complex is also home to Arena Denis Savard, a small minor-hockey rink, attached to its side. The Auditorium has hosted various Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) teams, including the Verdun Juniors, Verdun Éperviers, and Verdun Collège Français. In 1993, it hosted the Montreal Dragons for their lone season in the short-lived National Basketball League. Since 2022, it has been the home to the Montreal Alliance of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL). The Auditorium was slated to become the home arena of Les Canadiennes de Montréal in 2019; however, the CWHL folded in May of that year. In November 2023, it was announced that Verdun Auditorium would become the new home of Montréal of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) starting in 2024.On January 25, 2008, the QMJHL approved the sale of the St. John's Fog Devils to Montreal businessman Farrel Miller, who relocated the team to Montreal, where it was known as the Montreal Junior Hockey Club. In Summer 2011, the team moved to Boisbriand to become the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. The auditorium also hosted a concert by Nirvana on November 2, 1993. This was the band's last show in Montreal before frontman Kurt Cobain died five months later.The Verdun Auditorium has hosted professional wrestling events, including shows promoted by Johnny Rougeau's All Star Wrestling, the Vachon Brothers' Grand Prix Wrestling and Lutte Internationale, and was the location of the first World Wrestling Federation event to be held in Montreal, though that event drew poorly against the better-established Lutte Internationale.Major upgrades of the arena were undertaken in 2018 with plans for completion in 2020. These $42 million renovations made upgrades to the safety of the facility, as well as a restoration of the brick façade. In May 2022, the arena hosted the first home game of the CEBL's Montreal Alliance. The Alliance won 80-70 over the Scarborough Shooting Stars in front of a near-sell out crowd.
