By Cat DiStasio Snow sports are wildly popular around the globe -- even in regions with no winter to speak of. No matter, because architects and engineers have joined forces to create ski and snowboard slopes in some of the most unlikely places. Whether indoors or out, artificial snow or pure natural pow-pow, these buildings with built-in slopes will blow your snow-loving mind. From the longest indoor ski slope on the planet to an eco-friendly year-round snow sports resort, this roundup has something for everyone. If you can't hold your breath 'til the next bluebird day rolls around, opt for one of these spots where it's primo shredding season with no white-out in the forecast. Rest of the pics here: http://www.engadget.com/2016/01/21/6-buildings-that-you-can-sled-ski-and-snowboard-on/#gallery=358601&slide=3774117 -
New waterpark planned near Montreal Montreal will soon have a new attraction to talk about, as developers prepare to break ground on a new waterpark and leisure facility in the municipality of Sainte-Adèle. Planned to open in September 2016, the La Rolland project will take up 84ha of land. It will offer 60,000sq.m of accommodations for short stays and 24,000sq.m of facilities dedicated to leisure and sports activities as well as catering and an indoor tropical waterpark. La Rolland is currently in development by Jamco Ventures and its international team. M2Leisure is the overall project consultant for the development and operations of this new family oriented resort destination. M2Leisure's program for La Rolland includes 800 lodging units, providing an offering for short breaks and holidays. The facilities consist of a three-pavilion village centre featuring an iconic indoor waterpark set at 29 degrees Celsius 365 days a year; a sports and leisure centre; shopping; restaurants and more. The project is in line with the latest leisure market trends, according to M2Leisure, showing a growing preference for family oriented and proximity-based resort destinations, accessible near major urban centres. The opening of the resort is planned for September 2016. http://www.interpark.co.uk/news/New-waterpark-planned-near-Montreal/3749-19-&cb=0

Quebec has announced a $34-million renovation for Montreal's LaSalle Hospital emergency room, just a week after resident doctors made an online plea about their decaying facilities. Provincial Health Minister Yves Bolduc confirmed the investment Wednesday, which will be used to modernize and expand the hospital's ER to four times its current size. One of the videos showed a mouldy vent. (YouTube)Doctors at the hospital are declaring victory for their online campaign, that went viral last week. They shot videos of their emergency ward, showing mouldy ceilings and crowded hallways. "We didn't want to go to videos, no one wants to go there," said Dr. Tony Assouline. "We want to have normal relations with the administration and the government. This was a last resort, and it was done." Doctors would have never gone online with their complaints had they known a major renovation announcement was coming, he added. "Fortunately now, we'll have a new ER, and we're very happy." Bolduc said renovation plans have been in the works for years, and have nothing to do with a YouTube and website campaign that went viral last week. The new ER will be ready in 2014

Sur les traces du Montréal moderne et du domaine de l'Estérel au Québec / Discovering Modern Montreal and the Estérel Resort in Québec auteur(s): N/A éditeur: Editions CIVA Au XXe siècle Montréal devient une vitrine internationale de l'architecture moderne. Une intense activité constructive doublée d'une politique d'art public dynamique transforme radicalement l'image de la ville. Ce guide bilingue, français-anglais, permet de découvrir au fil de promenades commentées par des spécialistes les ensembles architecturaux majeurs tout autant que des réalisations moins connues des années 1930 aux années 80. Lieu de rencontre d'architectes étrangers et locaux de renommée mondiale tels Mies van der Rohe auquel une promenade entière est consacrée, ou encore Pei, Moretti et D'Astous, le Montréal du milieu du siècle dernier est un véritable laboratoire d'innovation esthétique, structurelle et urbaine. Le paysage urbain est marqué également par une prédilection pour l'intégration d'œuvres d'art. Ce guide vous offre les clés d'accès à ce patrimoine. La collaboration entre la Belgique et le Québec est également évoquée au travers du travail d'un architecte belge, Antoine Courtens, qui a construit pour un commanditaire belge le Baron Empain, un centre de villégiature, fleuron des années 1930. La visite du domaine de l'Éstérel clôture de manière bucolique ces promenades architecturales.
