    New statistics from Citizenship and Immigration Canada suggests that mid-sized cities are beginning to attract an increasing number of immigrants due in large part to shifting economic and employment prospects. Government initiatives such as the provincial nominee program that allows provinces to select immigrants to fill specific labour needs; and the development of tools that help smaller centres draw and retain immigrants are some of the reasons attributed to his recent shift. In addition, a booming economy in Western Canada has lead to a surge of newcomers migrating to more rural areas thanks to the provincial nominee and family nominee programs enacted by the Government. The figures show the number of immigrants taking up residence in Toronto dropped to 87,136 last year from 99,293 a year earlier, a decline of roughly 12 per cent, while the number coming to Vancouver slipped to 32,920 from 36,273, a drop of just over nine per cent. Montreal was up slightly to 38,710 from 38,391. Meanwhile, Charlottetown was up 73 per cent to 801, Moncton 31 per cent to 343, Saskatoon 40 per cent to 1,618, Winnipeg 10 per cent to 8,472 and Red Deer 93 per cent to 567. It was a mixed picture in British Columbia's smaller centres, with gains in Kelowna, Chilliwack, Nanaimo and Victoria and declines in Kamloops, Abbotsford and Prince George. Despite these facts the preferred destination for the vast majority of immigrants are the larger cities, with 67 per cent of newcomers calling them home. The main reason for this is that larger cities tend to offer an established community of family and friends and a greater number of economic opportunities -- either low-skilled jobs that require few language skills or businesses that cater to particular ethnic groups. Interestingly, studies have shown that immigrants who settle in larger cities experience labour market advantages over those who settle in smaller cities and they can earn substantially more. Nevertheless, immigrants have begun to appreciate the advantages of living in a smaller city, away from the congestion, pollution, noise and stress of the big city. Many newcomers enjoy the smaller cities precisely because they are so different from the chaos, traffic and pollution of large cities.

    La Gazette indique que le design original sera retenu: Waldorf=Astoria planned for Montreal To be modelled on N.Y. namesake; $200-million hotel on Sherbrooke St. will feature 250 guest rooms and 76 residences MIKE KING, The Gazette Already experiencing its biggest hotel-building boom since the heady days of Expo 67, Montreal can now add the famed Waldorf=Astoria name to its inventory. Local real estate company Monit Investments will spend $200 million developing and building the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel & Residence Montreal on what is now a parking lot it owns near Guy and Sherbrooke Sts. The 32-storey hotel, consisting of twin towers, will be modelled on its namesake on New York City's Park Ave. While most of the building will face Guy, an access onto Sherbrooke will give the hotel the cachet of an address on that more prestigious street. Being set behind the Medical Arts Building means the new building will not be subject to the 60-metre height restriction in effect for new buildings on Sherbrooke W. The Sherbrooke access became available in 2003 when a fire destroyed three 19th-century row houses next to the Medical Arts Building. "Montreal is a culturally rich city that is on the forefront of design, art, entertainment, culinary achievements and other pillars that define a great city, making Montreal an ideal fit for the Waldorf=Astoria Collection," said Alex Kotler, Monit chairman. Waldorf=Astoria spokesperson David Semanoff said in a phone interview from New York that the flagship of the upscale chain will manage the Montreal property as well, to ensure the Waldorf brand and standards are maintained. Pierre Bellerose, vice-president of public relations and marketing for Tourisme Montréal, noted that the Waldorf=Astoria is part of the city's "hotel mini-boom." Bellerose has compiled a list of 17 substantial hotel projects between 2006 and 2009 that have been completed or are on the boards, not including the Waldorf=Astoria. In total, more than 2,500 rooms and 100 suites and condos are being added to the city's hotel inventory. "There are a lot of smaller projects (under way), too, and more to be announced soon," he said without giving any further details. According to Bellerose, the latest boom, "not seen for more than 40 years," started in the early 1990s with half a dozen big projects like the Hotel InterContinental Montreal, followed by the introduction from 2001 to 2003 of several boutique hotels around Old Montreal. The projects have been more corporate since 2006, and Bellerose attributes that to stable interest rates and increasing international interest in North America. mking@thegazette.canwest.com - - -

    Meme sans les chinois, Brossard a 23% de minorité visible (Profile 2006). Et les minorité visible ne represent pas toute les cultures. Es-ce-que le fait que Brossard est pas très multicuturelle faissait parti de ton droit d'opinion?

The High-Tech center will support the Firm’s business in New York, initially serving as a platform for six technology areas: Fixed Income Securities Processing and Settlements Investment Management Enterprise Data Infrastructure Enterprise Application Infrastructure Corporate Technology and Finance Jim Rosenthal, a Managing Director at Morgan Stanley, said, “We are delighted to expand our internal operations in Montreal, one of Canada’s leading financial centers that is well regarded for its highly skilled talent base. We look forward to growing our platform here to complement our existing technology and business services centers around the world.” Morgan Stanley worked with long-time partner Compuware, a global supplier of IT services and solutions, to develop and implement a pilot delivery center.

Morgan Stanley has worked closely with Investissement Quebec since 2004 on technology center developmental plans in the area. Within the past few years, Morgan Stanley has developed a network of technology and business services centers across diverse global sites including Budapest, Glasgow, India and Shanghai, in addition to the current center it is establishing in Montreal.

    Québec va de l'avant André Beauvais Le Journal de Montréal 30/04/2008 Ceux qui ne croyaient plus à l'autoroute 30 sur la Rive-Sud devront se raviser puisque sept chantiers majeurs seront lancés au cours des prochaines semaines, dont le premier dans une quinzaine de jours. Le ministère des Transports a confirmé au Journal de Montréal des travaux de 110 M$ cette année et l'an prochain et l'ouverture de la 30 à l'ouest de la 15 dans deux ans. Le prolongement de la 30 entre Candiac et Saint- Constant dans le controversé tracé des terres agricoles a fait l'objet d'une dure bataille qui a retardé le projet d'au moins cinq ans. Un premier chantier ouvrira donc dans quelques jours à l'extrémité ouest de ce tracé qui devait à l'origine emprunter la route 132, un peu plus au nord. Bataille politique Les deux tracés ont alimenté une longue bataille depuis plusieurs années entre le Parti libéral qui a opté pour faire passer l'autoroute dans les terres agricoles et le Parti québécois qui avait choisi l'axe de la 132 quand il formait le précédent gouvernement. Plusieurs organisations, dont l'UPA et le Comité de citoyens 30/132, ont dénoncé le choix du gouvernement libéral qui a tourné le dos à divers avis de la Commission de protection des terres agricoles. Marjolaine Gagné, porte-parole de Transports Québec, pour le prolongement de la 30, a confir mé au Journal de Montréal que les premiers travaux qui seront entrepris dans deux semaines concer nent la construction de l'échangeur 30/370 au coût de 18 M$. Tronçon de 8 km Dès septembre prochain, a-t-elle précisé, des travaux majeurs de 38 M$ seront entrepris pour construire l'autoroute sur une distance d'environ huit kilomètres entre l'échangeur 30/370 à Saint-Constant, et la 15, ce qui complétera une partie importante de la 30 dans les municipalités de Delson et Saint-Constant. Ce segment sera ouvert à la circulation dès 2010 et permettra le lien routier avec la 15 où l'échangeur est déjà construit. En juin Il ne restera plus au ministère des Transports qu'à réaliser le tronçon Jean-Leman de 3,4 km, dans Candiac, pour joindre la 30 jusqu'à Sorel. La partie est de la 30 aura coûté 305 M$ lorsqu'elle aura été complétée. Le Journal a aussi appris que les trois consortiums retenus pour la construction de la partie ouest qui aura 42 km préparent actuellement le volet financier de leur proposition et que le ministère des Transports annoncera son choix en juin. Ce volet du projet est évalué à 1,2 milliard de dollars et comporte la construction de deux ponts au-dessus du Saint- Laurent et de la Voie maritime.

    Une très belle tour mais la limite d'hauteur pour ce coins est de 200m. Pour moi, montant juste 100-120m est une dérogation majeure du plan d'urbanisme de la ville (comme le 701 d'ailleur). Il y a en pas plein de lots donc le zonage permet 200m+.

    Tu as vraiment fais un 180 degree dans ton opinion en deux mois. En fevrier tu estimais les chances que ce projet se réalise à 75%. Pourquoi as-tu changé d'avis?
