I think most Aviation organizations are here by now!

Airports Council International (ACI), the only worldwide association of airports, announced yesterday during its annual general assembly, in Bermuda, the relocation of the main ACI World office to Montréal. ACI is an international organization with 575 member airport authorities, operating over 1630 airports in 179 countries.

"The establishment of ACI in Montréal is major economic news. The presence of this organization will not only help extend the city's reach and reputation around the world, it will also generate some $4.5 million in economic and tax spinoffs per year while creating 30 new jobs by the year 2014," commented the Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of State for the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Québec.

Sigh. That one hurt...

Florida always plays us hard, and they're not the worst team in the league. Considering the Habs played on Long Island last night (and won), I think we can forgive this loss... a few days rest, hopefully they'll come out swingin' on Tuesday!

There's an article in The Gazette today about the whole development, and it states Évolo will be complete by Fall 2012.

Yeah, I think they'll just release some new official renderings of the project, with the added floors to make it 40.

This project sounds massive... and as someone pointed out, if the floors are the same height as Altitude (~3.78m), we're talking about a height of about 149m! That's nearly identical to the tallest tower at Complexe Desjardins, which is pretty much across the street. Density and height, sounds too good to be true

Amazing! 123m is something to write home about

I don't care; Montreal needs these new cars, and it was taking forever. I'm all for it.

MtlMan, we used to have 4 daily Air France flights in the summer; with the A380, we will have 3! The 777, A340 or A330 will be used as the other two daily flights.

I don't think it would be taller than PVM, technically. I get 187 m (if we use 3.28m for each floor, as other posters have suggested) at 57 storeys. PVM is 188m lol

"[...] selon une source, le nouvel échangeur ne sera pas terminé avant 2015, voire 2016 selon certains. Il devait à l'origine entrer en service dès 2013."

Just a heads up, and sorry Malek if you already knew this (it seemed a little implied in your statement), but just in case, the film has officially been chosen to represent Canada at the Oscars this February.

Love the article! Thanks for posting it.

Everyone from out of town who sees the Big O, loves it. I wish the people of this city could feel the same way... I say build the new retractable roof!

PVM also added floors in order to eclipse the recently-completed CIBC tower and therefore be called the tallest building in the British Commonwealth.

I suppose Montrealers, on average, prefer a higher-class of food

With a goal to make John Abbott College a leader in health-related fields, a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony took place Tuesday for the CEGEP's new science and technology building.

The new five-storey, $30-million project will house facilities to train nurses, ambulance technicians and pharmaceutical technicians.

"This will train students in English in areas where we have a shortage of qualified workers," said Education Minister Line Beauchamps.

To be completed in 2012, the building, equipped with geothermic heating, will benefit from $8 million in financing from federal and provincial governments.

Didn't know where to post this:

Wait times on certain STM bus routes will be capped at 10 minutes starting Monday.

I've seen a lot of films, I pride myself on it lol

Inception is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. It is simply brilliant. Highly recommended!

All New York City news stations are reporting it was felt in Manhattan too!

CTV News is saying it was felt in Ottawa and much of Southern Ontario, Montreal and Vermont...

It started slow and really got stronger... the plants in my house were still shaking a bit a minute later

It lasted about a minute!

Anyone else feel that?

Halak has been traded to St Louis, no word on who or what we get in return.
