City sets PPCMOI meetingfor Mar. 22 on

by-law amendments By Laureen Sweeney

Six months and counting. That’s thetime a draft by-law governing major non-conforming development projects hasbeen under the microscope by both thecity and residents seeking earlier inputinto the decision process.

Council gears up for arrival of new parking systemBy Laureen Sweeney

City council took steps March 7 to pavethe way for the city’s new pay-by-plate park-ing system, now scheduled to be rolledout at the beginning of May, CouncillorPhilip Cutler told the meeting. Two differ-ent business items at the council meetingconcerned this new system.

One was notice of motion to adopt a by-law to define different zones in the cityfor rates, which Cutler said would remainunchanged, and to establish hours of op-eration. These hours are listed as eitherMonday to Friday from 9 am to 6 pm; orMonday to Wednesday from 9 am to 6 pm,Thursday and Friday from 9 am to 9 pmand Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm.

The two distinct zones for rates wouldbe Wood Ave. to the east city limits at $3per hour, and the second zone to the westof Wood at $2 per hour.

In a second item of related business, thecouncil approved the quotation of Signali-sation Lévis Inc. for the purchase and in-stallation of 120 posts for new parking reg-ulation signs, complete with installation ofthe signs and all necessary hardware forthe new parking system. The total amountof the contract is $44,745, applicable taxesincluded.

A $1-million contract for the supply andinstallation of the automated system wasawarded at the council meeting November2 (see November 10, p. 1).

A TRADITON OFTRUST AND INTEGRITY

PRICE REDUCED

By Laureen Sweeney

Miss Vicky’s has gained a new lease onlife – at least for now.

It comes in the form of a provisional in-junction from Quebec Superior Court al-lowing the nursery school to stay open un-til the case can be heard in court on its ownmerits. The Quebec Family ministry hadordered it to close on March 11.

“Given the urgency and the serious andirreparable harm that Miss Vicky’s wouldsuffer if this judgment was stayed as theresult of an appeal, the court will orderprovisional execution [notwithstanding] anappeal,” the judgment concludes.

As part of the same case heard March 7,

Judge Stephen Hamilton rejected the re-quest for a similar injunction sought byFunZone, an afternoon program that hasalso been operating at St. Matthias’ Churchon Church Hill but in a different space.

He did, however, “urge” the governmentto reconsider the closure of that operationat this point in time.

“The court does not understand why, af-ter tolerating the existence of an afternoonprogram at Miss Vicky’s since 1988 and atFunZone since 2014, the ministry finds itnecessary to shut down the program inthe middle of the school year,” the judgewrote in a final note. “Surely a great deal ofinconvenience to the par-ents could be avoided by

to stay open

After last week’s injunction, it was business “as usual” for Miss Vicky’s, but the school door off ChurchHill remained unusually quiet at noon Friday, March 11 due to the continuing March break.

cillor Theodora Samiotis.The changes to the by-law named “Spe-

cific Construction, Alteration or Occu-pancy Proposals for an Immovable”(SCAOPI/PPCMOI) are to be detailed at apublic consultation meeting Tuesday,March 22, 7 pm at city hall.

A copy of the amended draft by-lawshowing the changes was posted on thecity’s website March 9.

“The earlier input is what we’ve beenwanting,” advocate Marina Brzeski ofGrosvenor told the Independent at the endof the council meeting. But both she andarchitect Ken London said they still hadmany questions to ask.

Step by step input

The draft by-law outlines a step-by-stepapproach to the way information on a proj-ect would be relayed.

The first one is a publication notice thata non-conforming project is being given tothe PAC for review.

This triggers a 30-day period duringwhich the public will have access to theconceptual documents and plans submit-ted by the project applicant, typically theproperty owner along with the developerand/or architect.

Within the same 30 days, the PAC willhold its preliminary review meeting inpublic. At this time, the applicant will pres-ent the project to the PAC. Citizens will beable to listen to this and ask questions,Samiotis said.

“What’s important to know is that theseare conceptual plans at this stage,” shelater explained. “They could change con-siderably after initial reviews and studiessuch as those related to wind, traffic andsun.”

It is only after the 30-day period that theplan would be reviewed by city council for

a preliminary decision.If approved by the

council, the projectwould then become sub-ject to a procedure forSCAOPI/PPCMOI siteslaid down in Quebec’sact respecting Land UsePlanning and Develop-ment.

This procedure in-cludes an obligatorypublic consultationmeeting, a public demo-lition hearing if requiredand a register leading toa possible referendum.

Finding a way

What has made theaddition of earlier publicinput possible from a le-gal position, Samiotistold the council meet-ing, is that the city is using a procedure forinforming the public allowed under its SitePlanning and Architectural Integration by-law known as the PIIA.

“Under the PIIA, the PAC can call for apublic meeting at any time,” she explained.PAC meetings in Westmount are tradi-tionally held behind closed doors, how-ever. This is not the same in some othercommunities such as Côte des Neiges-NDG and St. Laurent.

The initial draft of the PPCMOI By-law1489 was tabled October 5 and submittedto public consultation October 22 (seestory November 3, p. 1).

Its adoption was delayed from month tomonth while the city looked for the legalmeans to incorporate the requested earliercitizen input while complying with theprovince’s Land Use and Planning legisla-tion that governs the PPCMOI process (seestory March 1, p. 1).

Councillor Theodora Samiotis, commissioner of Urban Planning, speakswith Marina Brzeski of Grosvenor at the end of the council meetingMarch 7.

Architect Ken London, a resident of PrinceAlbert, asks council to comment on the Provigodevelopment now seeking approval throughMontreal’s centre city administration, by-passingthe Côte des Neiges-NDG borough. CouncillorCynthia Lulham said the city of Westmount hadalready expressed concerns about pedestriansafety and the visual effects along the St.Catherine St. portion. This proposed project on deMaisonneuve at Claremont and St. Catherine isa PPCMOI site in NDG.

Parking limits relaxed nearformer Marianopolis siteBy Laureen Sweeney

City council March 7 removed parkingrestrictions on six streets near the formersite of Marianopolis College southeast ofCedar and Ramezay (in Montreal). Thesehad been imposed initially to discouragelong-term parking related to the CEGEPbut are no longer considered necessaryfollowing its relocation to Westmount Ave.

“It’s been about seven or eight yearssince Marianopolis moved, so we’re finallygetting around to it,” said Councillor PhilipCutler in announcing the change.

Parking had been limited to one hour onthe majority of the six streets, he explained.

The action was recommended by thecity’s Traffic Advisory Committee follow-ing an audit that showed parking was nowunderused in “the vast majority of streetsegments studied,” he explained.

2 hours

Except for maintenance periods andwinter restrictions, two-hour parking is tobe permitted on:

St. Sulpice (north and south sides)• Mount Pleasant to the east city limits.

4-hour parking

Again, with the exception of mainte-

nance and winter restrictions, four-hourparking will be permitted on the followingsegments of five streets:

Mount Pleasant• De Lavigne to Severn (south side);• Severn to St. Sulpice (north side);• St. Sulpice to Montrose (west side);• St. Sulpice to Montrose (east side);• Montrose to Cedar (west side);• Montrose to Cedar (east side), except

for the school loading zone Septem-ber. 1 to June 30;

• Cedar to The Boulevard (both sides).Ramezay

• St. Sulpice to Montrose (west side).Montrose (north side)

• East city limits to Ramezay;• Ramezay to Mount Pleasant.

Severn• Mount Pleasant to Mountain (north

side).Cedar

• Mountain to Mount Pleasant (southside);

• Mount Pleasant to sign facing civic3223 (south side) except school loadingzone September 1 to June 30;

• From sign facing civic 3223 to east citylimits (south side), except Monday toFriday 8 to 9:30 am no parking.

Parking restricted at WRC lotto 2 and 4 hoursBy Laureen Sweeney

The parking lot at the Westmount recre-ation centre (WRC) has been so crowdedby non-users of the facility, including 24-hour on-street permit holders, that citycouncil imposed new time restrictions forthe lot at its meeting March 7.

It has been signed for the typical maxi-mum four-hour parking allowed in West-mount. This, however, could be overriddenby 24-hour permit holders, which will nolonger be permitted.

During the day – 7 am to 5 pm – parkingwill be limited to two hours except for anyWestmount permit holder who will haveup to four hours.

From 5 pm to 7 am, however, four hoursmaximum will be allowed for anyone, per-mits holders included.

Sometimes early in the morning, the lotis already full, Public Security GregMcBain points out. “It’s supposed to be

for WRC users only.” The four-hour limitis similar to the time restriction at the li-brary parking lot, he adds.

In that case, it was found that peoplewere parking there and taking the bus else-where.

HCP hears from factoryanimal protection lobbyistsBy Martin C. Barry

For some cost-conscious grocery shop-pers, the chicken dog is a food item thatrepresents an incredibly good deal sincetypically it sells for up to a third less thanall-beef wieners.

But as Stephanie Brown of the Toronto-based Canadian Coalition for Farm Ani-mals told members of the WestmountHealthy City Project on March 3 during apresentation at Westmount Public Library,bargains sometimes also come with trade-offs.

In this case, the chickens are paying theprice difference. According to Brown,“spent hens” – the term the factory farm-ing industry uses to describe hens that canno longer lay eggs – have low economicvalue after having been confined for a yearin wired cages with up to six other hens.

“They’re skinny, they’re featherless, yetthey are subjected to long transport toslaughter to become chicken dogs,” shesaid, outlining just one of the many as-pects of factory farming in Canada.

Around 700 million animals are slaugh-tered each year in this country for food, sheadded. “Given the numbers, this over-shadows all other aspects of animal crueltybecause of their numbers. Yet each animalis an individual with preferences, feelings,desires and emotions. Animals suffer inintensive confinement.”

In Canada, Brown said, there is no leg-islated protection for farm animals, onlyvoluntary codes of practice. Currently, theindustry codes condone intensive animalconfinement.

“But the good news is that the codes arestarting to change slowly,” she continued,noting that pain relief is beginning to be-come an industry practice. “The fact thatsome animals in Canada are now gettingpain relief is the progress that we have to

be very thankful for. It’s just starting tohappen.”

However, Brown said Canada’s livestocktransportation regulations, which were lastupdated in 1975, “are considered to be theworst in the developed world.” In thiscountry, ruminant animals such as cattle,sheep and goats may be legally transportedwithout water, food or rest for up to 52hours. Poultry, pigs and horses may betransported under the same conditions forup to 36 hours.

Also during the meeting, Lesley Moffat,who is the director of the Netherlands-based non-profit Eyes on Animals, gavean overview of her organization. A formerWestmounter, Moffat attended RoslynSchool as well as Marianopolis College.She is the daughter of Westmount HCPmember Tony Moffat.

According to Eyes on Animals, millionsof farm animals in Europe don’t receivethe protection they are supposed to be ac-corded by European legislation. Thegroup’s teams trail animal transportationtrucks searching for violations. They alsoinspect farms, livestockmarkets and slaughter-

Letters to the Editor

MGH Auxiliary alive and well

I wish to correct the ambiguous andmisleading information published in thearticle “Friends of the MUHC shifts fromFriendraising to Fundraising” (March 8, p.14).

Although the Auxiliary of the MontrealGeneral Hospital has representation to theboard of the Friends of the MUHC, wecontinue to remain an independent auxil-iary,* with our board and membershipcontinuing to support our mandate andpatients at the Montreal General Hospital.

It is unfortunate that this article hascaused confusion amongst our member-ship and our hospital community.

Yvonne Mass, president, The Auxiliary of the Montreal

General Hospital* Editor’s note: In last week’s article, we did

not report that the Montreal GeneralHospital Auxiliary was losing its

independence. Indeed, we knew that it wascontinuing its operations as we reported in

our November 24, 2015 issue. See“Montreal General Auxiliary staying at the

hospital, looking for more volunteers,” (p.15).– KM

Verdun vs Westmountoutdoor rinks

While in Verdun recently, I noticed thatbehind the city hall building, there was aZamboni cleaning the ice of an oval skat-ing rink. Next to it was an ice hockey rink.

I asked a passer-by about the hockeyrink and was told the wooden structurehas been in use for the past few years.

It’s strange that Verdun has these twowell-maintained outdoor rinks, yet West-mount either cannot afford or can’t bebothered to have the same for its people.

Deborah Bee, Hillside Ave.Editor’s note: The city of Westmount owns a

Zamboni-made tractor outfitted with aresurfacing attachment used for clearing theoutdoor rinks. According to Public Works, it

was used on the outdoor rinks this winter. – KM

Twenty-five years ago, the city of West-mount joined the World Health Organiza-tion’s (WHO) Healthy City Project. TheWHO defines the Healthy City as “one thatis continually creating and improvingthose physical and social environmentsand expanding those community re-sources, which enable people to mutuallysupport each other in performing all func-tions of life and in developing to their max-imum potential.”

Our Healthy City Project has a steeringcommittee and two working groups: TheEnvironment committee has initiated andhelped Westmount institute projects rang-ing from recycling, composting, batteryrecycling, banning pesticide use and plant-ing indigenous gardens, to name a few.

The Community Life committee bringsall our community groups together toshare ideas and resources. Over the years,it has hosted health information fairs, cre-ated and promoted a model emergency kitand held safe walks.

A prime mover in the founding of theHealthy City Project was the late SallyAitken. We have benefitted enormouslyfrom her efforts, and the hundreds of otherWestmount volunteers who have giventheir ideas, experience and time to theHealthy City Project.

This Saturday, March 19, the HealthyCity Project – Environment committee willjoin with communities around the worldto observe Earth Hour (8th year!), and wewill celebrate the 25th anniversary of theHealthy City Project.

Please come join us at Victoria Hallfrom 6 pm to 10 pm for some wonderfulspeakers and events, gaze at the stars andhave some cake!

CorrectionIn the photo accompanying the article

“Rovers’ Nepal project to help rebuild afterearthquake,” in last week’s issue (March 8,p. 4), the identification of a Rover at farright should have read: Anthony vanVoorst, youth commissioner for the StoneyPoint Area.

New summit footpath notsuch a bargain

In his elegant defense of the SummitCircle project (letter sent to citizens, datedMarch 2016), Mayor Peter Trent opinesthat the project will only cost Westmoun-ters $400,000, far less than the $600,000 itwould cost to maintain the road. Only$400,000. Wow, what a bargain!

This citizen is curious as to why a gravelpath, less than a kilometre in length,should cost anywhere near that much.

Furthermore, the mayor states we willbe saving the $10,000 per year that the cityspends annually in maintaining the road,presumably snow removal and road re-pairs? Given that the city has never done asterling job on its potholes and given thata less than a one-kilometre stretch of little-used road should not cost $10,000 per yearto plow, I wonder if the term “born yester-day” should be applied to those who arebuying into the mayor’s logic.

Joe Russo, Sherbrooke St.

Elected council membersneed to be independent

It is a sad day for local governance andthe first time in Westmount’s history thatseven sitting councillors gathered with themayor to express themselves via a publicletter (“More staff, $ for infrastructurespending,” February 23, p. 6) in a kind ofchummy consensus over the very impor-tant issues of public works, infrastructure,surpluses, deficiencies and taxpayers’money.

The letter of cabinet solidarity becamemore important for them than their fargrander and important mandate to think,reason, act and vote independently. Thisindependence is a prerequisite for alldemocracies, which includes our munici-pality.

Sadly, it appears as if the members of theletter-signing group have forgotten theyare temporary employees working for thecitizens whose hard-earned tax dollars paytheir salaries to govern independently andtransparently. A municipality is not a coun-try club.

A moratorium on condoconstruction? resident asksBy Laureen Sweeney

Would the city “accept” a moratorium oncondo development until a study on con-dos in Westmount – as contemplated byMayor Peter Trent at the February 1 coun-cil meeting – is complete?

The question was asked at the March 7meeting of city council by Marina Brzeskiwho has been spearheading a campaignamong some Grosvenor residents againsta proposed condo project at the site of theMetro store and parking lot at Victoria andSherbrooke.

“That’s a kind of extreme approach thatis probably not the appropriate one,” Trentreplied.

That being said, he continued, what con-

cerned him and some members councilwas that the condo market was “sort offluffy” at the moment “and you wonderwhen the music stops” if some of these de-velopers won’t be caught, “if you catch mydrift,” he added.

Councillor Cynthia Lulham added thather concern also extended to a prolifera-tion of apartment conversions into con-dos. This was expected in the next two orthree years especially along Sherbrooke,where many apartments have already be-come co-proprietorships. This is a step inthe process toward condo conversion, shesaid, over which the city has no control.

This is “regrettable” because it does notallow for a lot of people, renters, “to live inour community,” she explained.

houses and will go so far as to expose casesto the media, although Moffat said theyprefer to work proactively with the indus-try.

“Sometimes you can get more improve-ments by working with industry than withgovernment,” she said. Both she and

Brown noted the fact that the transporta-tion of animals has become global in mag-nitude and that the propensity for abusesgrows because of the varying governmentjurisdictions. “We inform authorities andpeople of influence of everything we see inthe form of reports,” said Moffat.

Suspect followed in Arlington Lane incident

Two ticketted forsmoking in trailer

Public safety officers were met by an in-tense cloud of marijuana smoke as theyentered the trailer for the skating rink atQueen Elizabeth Gardens March 1, PublicSecurity officials said. Inside, two teenagegirls butted something out on being inter-rupted. They were told to put a plastic bagof substance on the floor, which officersdestroyed. Each girl was issued a ticket for$119 under Quebec’s anti-tobacco law forhaving been smoking in a “temporary in-stallation.” Both were residents of NDGaged 17. The girls were discovered at 11:30pm during a random check of the trailer.

A man recognized for attempting tobreak into cars was kept under surveil-lance by public safety officers March 6 at1:56 am, Public Security officials report.He was observed as he headed into Ar-lington Lane from Sherbrooke, pulling ascarf over an Iron Maiden hat.

Police were subsequently called whenhe was spotted walking out of a back yard.

Patrollers kept watch until he was inter-cepted by police at Côte St. Antoine andMount Stephen.

The man was questioned and stated hewas “testing his knees by walking the hillsin Westmount.”

He was told to leave the area and publicsafety officers followed him to a bus atClarke and Sherbrooke.

Cup of coffee comesjust in time

A public safety officer went to grab acup of coffee at 12:23 am at the McDonald’soutlet in Alexis Nihon Plaza February 26and ended up providing medical assistanceto a man inside, Public Security officialssaid. The man had fallen backward andwas described as in slight shock. After be-ing helped to his feet, he fell a second time,resulting in a call to Urgences Santé.

Police Report

Handgun used to rob St. Catherine St. dry cleanersBy Martin C. Barry

The following news story is based on in-formation from police reports provided by aStation 12 constable in an interview with thereporter.

Police at Station 12 on Stanton St. say anarmed thief brandishing a handgun suc-ceeded in robbing a St. Catherine St. drycleaning outlet of an undisclosed amountof money around 6 pm on February 22.

According to community relations offi-cer Adalbert Pimentel, the suspect pre-sented himself at the counter and askedthe clerk to place the contents of the cashdrawer in a bag he provided. The attendantcomplied after the suspect repeated theinstructions more menacingly.

Pimentel said the thief struck thecounter with an object resembling a blackpistol to emphasize his point. Based onthe description, the police believe it was anauthentic firearm rather than a plasticreplica because of the loud knock the vic-tim said it produced while striking thecountertop.

Construction tools targetted

The police are warning building con-tractors working in Westmount to makesure they secure their work sites against in-truders following an incident last monthduring which construction tools werestolen.

Sometime between mid-afternoon onFebruary 19 and the morning of February22, the fenced-off grounds at a house onThe Boulevard under renovation were en-tered by an intruder, who is believed tohave stolen various contractors’ tools, in-cluding professional-quality drills andsaws.

“There was a barrier, but sometimesconstruction sites don’t have good locks,”said Pimentel.

His recommendation to contractors isthat they always remove their equipmenteach day after finishing work at a job site.“Some don’t – they try to hide their equip-ment – and there’s always a risk when aconstruction site isn’t fully closed.”

Forced entry into apartment in St. Catherine St. building

Sometime between February 21 at 8 amand about the same hour on February 22,the door to an apartment in a building onSt. Catherine St. near Kensington Ave. wasforced open and an intruder entered, butended up leaving – apparently withoutstealing anything.

The superintendent, while going abouta routine inspection of the building, no-ticed that the door of one unit had beenbroken open. The tenant was away on atrip at the time. “According to the reportnothing seems to have been missing,” saidPimentel.

Police on hand to answer questions,March 16

On March 16 from 11 am to 1 pm, thestaff at Station 12 will be holding a coffeeevent at McDonald’s on Sherbrooke nearClaremont Ave.. Officers will be on handto answer questions from the public, talkabout crime prevention and provide secu-rity information. The coffee will be free.

“We invite all the population to come,”

said Pimentel. “A few police officers in-cluding myself will be there. It’s going tobe an opportunity for one-on-one and to sitdown with a police officer. We talk aboutvarious subjects, or people may have some-thing particular to ask. If not, we will alsotalk about pre-established issues, such asfraud, public safety and crime prevention.”

Cllr. Lulham: Good for snowshoeing, walking, jogging

New summit trail off limits to unleasheddogs, cyclists, and subject to curfewsBy Laureen Sweeney

The gravel walking path planned by thecity to replace the paved north section ofSummit Circle will be subject to all therules of Summit Woods, Councillor Cyn-thia Lulham told the council meetingMarch 7. But it will not be a dog park.

This means no unleashed dogs will bepermitted at any time as well as no cyclingand no use during the parks’ curfew hoursbetween midnight and 5 am.

The path, which she said would be calleda “trail,” will not be plowed in the winter,which will encourage use by snowshoers.

At other times of the year, joggers will beable to complete the full circle while walk-ers who may not want to encounter off-leash dogs will be able to do the same.“There will be no loose dogs – ever,” shesaid. Signs to this effect are to be postedalong the trail.

The permanent closure of the 1,600-footlong section of Summit Circle follows itstemporary closure in 2009 and is expected

to cost a total of some $800,000, half ofwhich is to be paid from a Quebec gov-

ernment grant (see story March 8, p. 1).

At the March 7 council meeting, Councillor Cynthia Lulham describes plans for the new gravel walkingpath.

Henderson talks Fenians, separatismBy Martin C. Barry

With St. Patrick’s Day just around thecorner, former Westmounter Keith Hen-derson was the featured guest at the At-water Library’s lunchtime authors’ serieson March 10 when he talked about hismost recent novel – The Roof Walkers.

It’s an historically-based spy story in-volving Irish Fenians, seeking independ-ence for Ireland, who threaten the unifyingefforts of Irish-Canadian statesmanThomas D’ArcyMcGee just as he istrying to pave the waytowards Canadianconfederation.

Henderson’s read-ing from the book wascomplemented withmusic performed byIrish harpist SusanPalmer.

According to Hen-derson, a formerEquality Party leaderwho advocated thepartition of Quebec asa response to sepa-ratism, the book’s titlecomes from mid-19thcentury slang for aperson who wouldscamper across highrooftops in big cities like New York to getaround quickly and clandestinely.

But at the same time, it was also ametaphor for spying, he added, becauseroof walkers saw all sorts of unusual thingsfrom these heights.

The author and the book’s central char-acter, Eoin O’Donoghue, have somethingin common – Eoin is also Henderson’smiddle name, although he spells it in Eng-lish as Owen.

Answering questions, Henderson ac-knowledged there are parallels between

the Irish separatist theme he explores inthe book and the Quebec separatism hecriticized and struggled against in real lifeas the Equality Party’s leader.

“I found this whole question of Fenian-ism very interesting because it is a sepa-ratist story,” he said. “It’s one that actuallysucceeded because Ireland is today sepa-rate from Great Britain.

“But I made the political argument thatif you’re going to go down that road, sepa-ration leads to partition,” he added. “It did

Henderson said there are other histori-cal examples of separatism leading to par-tition. “There are two states of Virginia inthe US to this day because of separationand partition. Virginia wanted to secedeand was part of the Confederacy, and theWest Virginians said no. They remainedfaithful to the Union.”

Program heads ‘frustrated by intransigence’

waiting until June.“Unless there are reasons of safety or se-

curity of the children which were not dis-closed to the court, the court urges theministry to reconsider its position on thisquestion.”

A letter to parents from the two pro-grams dated March 10 said they were “frus-trated” with the ministry’s “intransigence”over FunZone’s after-school program and

would “continue to express our oppositionto the FunZone ruling.”

This program, normally offered to about15 to 25 children, is expected to be openthis week reduced to six, “unless the gov-ernment changes its view,” said public re-lations consultant Jonathan Goldbloom.This is the maximum permitted by theministry under the current operation.

Granting of injunction

A provisional, or interlocutory, injunc-tion is based in part on urgency, necessityto avoid a serious or irreparable injury tothe plaintiff (in this case, Miss Vicky’s andFunZone) and a balance of convenience,the ruling explained.

FunZone’s case was described as weakerthan Miss Vicky’s, which had been operat-ing as a Jardin d’Enfants (nursery school)since its opening in 1988 and then on ac-quired rights after that category was abol-ished by the government in 2005.

FunZone had not had a permit since itsstart in 2014, while Miss Vicky’s acquiredrights were revoked January 20 this yearwhen the ministry alleged it was operatinglonger than the permitted four hours a day(see story February 16, p. 3). These are 9am to 1 pm.

The judge cited an argument advancedby lawyer Julius Grey that Miss Vicky’s isrequired by the city of Westmount to openits doors at 8:30 am because of the dangerof having children wait on a busy street(Church Hill). A parents’ committee su-pervises the children during this half-hourperiod.

As a result, the court noted, the school iscaught between “two levels of government,each of which requires something differ-ent.”

“The debate on the merits [of the case],”the judge stated, “will be whether [MissVicky’s] has lost its right to operate as anursery school because children can bedropped off before 9 am. It is difficult to

see any issue of public order or public in-terest in that debate that would trump theobvious prejudice that would be sufferedby Miss Vicky’s, its employees, the churchand the parents.

“This debate does not involve any issueof health and safety or the developmentand well-being of the children.”

The judgment also noted the ministryhad not sought an injunction to stop theschool opening at 8:30 am. Instead it hadordered it to close.

The judge noted that in one sworn state-ment, a parent said she paid $1,725 to se-cure spots on a waiting list, which seemedto confirm the prejudice that would be suf-fered by the parents.

Because of the acquired rights issue, thecourt concluded Miss Vicky’s had raised atleast an arguable case that it is entitled tooperate without a permit.

FunZone pleaded it was a separate entityfrom Miss Vicky’s, but lawyers for the min-istry argued that they were related and thatFunZone “is a sham to get around thefour-hour rule.”

It was argued that FunZone continuedthe afternoon program once run by MissVicky’s and that the owners of both opera-tions – Victoria Naday and Antonia Stet-tner were sisters-in-law, the latter “rarelypresent on the premises.”

Furthermore, the two operations sharedthe same premises and teachers, while thechildren who attend FunZone go to MissVicky’s in the morning. It was also notedthat Miss Vicky’s paid the rent for Fun-Zone in 2014.

Some 80 children under five attend MissVicky’s. Many are Westmount residents.While the ministry had insisted February9 that Miss Vicky’s obtain a permit to op-erate as a daycare after revoking its ac-quired rights as a nursery school, the

school contended this was not feasible atthe St. Matthias’ location.

The following article relates to offers to pur-chase Westmount residential dwellings thatwere reported by local real estate agents ashaving been accepted in February 2016. Be-cause they are not final registered sales, the ad-dresses cannot be made public but give a goodidea of current trends in local real estate ac-tivity. The graph offers a picture of these trendsover time.

News of another $5-million-plus sale (inlate January) and above-average volumefor February served to drive an upwardspike in the Westmount real estate graph,as overall confidence appears to be re-turning to the market, which had been sohesitant during the fall. Last year’s market

February sales: Spike!Mood of the Market

Andy Dodge, CRA

peaked in June with the average West-mount house value close to $1.6 million;now the figure looks closer to $1.7 millionas we enter the high-demand spring mar-ket.

Volume reached 16 one- and two-familysales last month, which is the highest forFebruary since 2010, and added to eightsales in January is above average for thefirst two months. So, with both prices andvolume showing a strong interest, thingsare looking good going into the busiestmonths of the year, March through May.

While the February sales list shows noneof the drama of the $5,780,000 price agreedto on the last day of January, the averagemark-up over municipal evaluationclimbed to 15 percent in January and 18percent in February, compared to an aver-age for all of last year of 7.3 percent and thehighest monthly mark-up of 13 percent,based on the same municipal valuationroll. Two houses in February sold for morethan 60 percent above tax value, while only

three sold below assessment, with thebiggest mark-down only six percent. Thelowest price (for a single-family dwelling)was less than $461,000 but involved what isbelieved to be one of the smallest housesin Westmount. Three others sold under$1 million, only two over $2 million withthe top price of $2,335,000.

Condominiums, it appears, have notdrawn the same interest as their one- andtwo-family counterparts. Five sales havebeen posted so far for 2016, with prices be-tween $400,000 and $840,000, but noneof the luxury apartments were amongthem. Volume is about the same as it wasfor the first two months last year, but thentwo apartments sold for more than $1.2million each. The average mark-up so farthis year is just over 6 percent, compared

with a first-quarter figure last year of 7.75percent.

Six more adjacent-Westmount sales wereposted in February, prices for one- andtwo-family dwellings ranging from$695,000 to $2,025,000, mostly above val-uation but with some notable exceptions.

The latest (March 11) listings data show128 houses on the market in Westmount,compared to 147 at this time last year; then,there were 16 asking less than $1 million,this year only 10, and 62 were over $2 mil-lion compared to 59 this year, so that pricebracket has not changed much. For mostof last year, volume ranged between 150and 160 houses for sale, so it can be ex-pected that more will be coming on themarket shortly.
