Fort-Lorette Project

In 2018, Montréal acquired the Fort-Lorette site in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, on the banks of the Rivière des Prairies. The site covers an area of more than 6,000 square meters. The project involves creating a public space and requalifying the former laundry building of the Sisters of Misericorde for contemporary use.

The city and local partners agreed on a vision to guide future planning in order to protect and highlight this exceptional archaeological heritage site and riverside landscape.

Consultation process

The city is undertaking a consultation process to design a space that both preserves the site’s heritage values and meets the needs of the community.
