Votre ville de Montréal a tellement soif d'argent (péage, contraventions, parcomètres,...) qu'elle propose l'impensable!
Ceskberg and Associates is currently developping a new project in Canada, in partnership with the city of Montreal administration. The Club de Golf Le Ste-Helene will be a normal 72 golf course located on the Ste-Helene Island inside the Parc Jean-Drapeau. This beautifull site is located minutes away from downtown Montreal and is a 15 minutes walk from the Montreal Casino, La Ronde amusement park, and the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit, host of the F1 Grand Prix of Canada. If approved before October 2008, it should be ready for opening in the Summer of 2010.
The estimated construction costs of $125 million will mainly cover the acquisition of a section of the park, consctruction of the 18 holes, modifications to the Biosphere structure to include a Pro Shop and cantina. This will not interfere with the Environment Museum. Of course, the actual historical vocation of the site will not be altered at all. All existing infrastructures are kept and a large portion of the Park will still be freely available to everyone.
Ceskberg and Associates is also concerned about any environmental issue for this kind of project. As for example we use only biological manure for course construction and maintenance. Also, a team of experts selected by the local authorities will ensure that everything is done to minimize the environmental impacts of the whole construction process.
The Biosphere, host of the Environment Museum, is shaped like a Golf ball. (picture from W.T.)

this is ing stupid, who cares about golf. man there's 100s of golf courses, does it have to be right there in the middle of the island??
but I knew piknic was too good to be true....something was gonna come along and change things...maybe this will be it...maybe something else.

Honestly the best news I've heard in a while!
However, the feathers in the city will get blown to somewhere else, they always do, I only hope they can open their minds and begin to support Montreals' locals. |

Who can open their minds? Piknik is pretty good about hiring locals, espcially those lesser known ones pushing good sounds....
they have already been taking about moving the sculpture... who knows where its headed...
although golf courses are a HUGE WASTE OF ING RESOURCES!
in' eh |

I'm guessing that would mean no more Parc Jean Drapeau either...
that is a pretty significant outdoor venue for concerts and festivals over the summer months.
of course, all speculation right now |
