Fairview Pointe-Claire redevelopment explained

n December of 2018, Cadillac Fairview along with partner Ivanhoe Cambridge

I

By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca announced plans for a $30 million redevelopment of the Fairview Pointe-Claire shopping mall. If you are a frequent shopper at the center or have visited recently, you probably noticed some renovation work already going on. However, there is a lot more happening behind the scenes and the transformation of the 55-year-old center is well into gear. Many people, especially those living in the West Island, have been curious as to what to expect as the work takes place. In an interview with Jeroen Henrich, Vice-President of Development at Cadillac Fairview last Friday February 7th, I had the opportunity to get answers to some questions. From the history of the mall, the renovations and phases of work, to the eventual opening of the REM station, he had much to

offer.

THE MALL HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE 1965: Fairview Mall was one of their first shopping centers. It began as a single-storey shopping center, in a field with no development around it at all.

The South wing, which is now where Old Navy and Renaud-Bray are, was built later and they added a second floor to the center. Eaton, which then became Sears (which will soon house Simons) actually started as a two-storey store and then became threestoreys. "This shopping center has gone through significant change… always with the idea of staying rele-

vant and exciting," Jeroen said. The last renovations at Fairview were quite some time ago, so they are making some significant modifications; all new flooring, glass railings with a very contemporary look and LED lighting - all in line with their 'Green At Work' program. They are clearly very conscious about energy consumption and investing heavily into more efficient lighting.

"It will be a totally fresh look," he added.

RENOVATIONS WHAT TO EXPECT: "It's a running shopping center, so we are trying to be mindful to not cause any disruption."

Some of the work has

already begun and they are on schedule. "It's pretty exciting. We also have the new dining hall moving from the upstairs location down to the Sears ground floor that will be opening this fall. Sears was a big one, it is three storeys… with Simons to take over the 2nd and 3rd floor". Simons will open about a year later (August 2021) and by that time, it is expected the renovations will be complete inside the mall. "It's a really great thing for the West Island… we don't have a Simons (there). We've had a great partnership with them. They are in all of our shopping centers in Quebec, Car-

refour Laval, Les Galeries D'Anjou, Promenades St.Bruno and now at Fairview PointeClaire. The project is a little over $60 million (with the new dining hall) and the other ren-

ovations in the mall will cost around $30 million, in total, close to 100 million." The new 'sleek and modern' look was created by GH+A Design Studios. continued on Page 15

The Quebec dollar?!?

The youth wing of the Parti Québécois want to ‘shake things up’ in La Belle Province. At their next conference in March (the Comité national des jeunes du Parti québécois) they will be voting on proposals from a 10-page document of suggestions they put together. After the Parti

Québécois’ significant defeat in the last election, members of the youth wing want to see the candidates, now running for the party leadership, take a stand on their proposals. A ‘mixture of ideas that will make things happen’, according to Frederique StJean, President of the youth wing,

and that the objective in the end is ‘to get people talking about ideas for an independent Quebec’.

here seems to be no end to the problems with Airbnb since they first started their online

T

By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca services - connecting people who want to rent out their homes or offer lodging to people looking for accommodations in their area.

Covering more than

81,000 cities in 191 countries, the problems abound. In Montreal alone, there have been constant complaints from neighbours living next to or near the rental units - from garbage left all over the place, broken bottles littering the sidewalks and parties lasting until the wee hours of the morning. And Montreal is not alone with these issues.

Just recently, three men were killed by gunfire and two were others injured when gunfire broke out at a party taking place at an Airbnb condo in Toronto. As well, Airbnb rentals in this city are estimated to have pulled more than 4,500 units off the market as the vacancy rate fell to

a 15-year low. And now a tenant living in downtown Montreal has been speaking out about her frustration with Airbnb units in her building.

According to a CJAD - iHeartRadio news report, Manon Wascher is fed up up with the 'endless parade of Airbnb renters in her building'

and feels helpless in being able to do anything about it. The 'constant stream of Airbnb renters is wrecking her once peaceful life, noticing more and more tourists going in and out with their suitcases and partying all the time in her building.' She claims the elevators are often out of service, machines and locks are breaking, there is noise and things have become dirty and messy in her building. More importantly, the building she lives is in is on Guy

Street - and a municipal bylaw makes shortterm rentals illegal in that zone. Airbnb rentals are only supposed to be allowed on a part of Sainte-Catherine Street in the borough - and she believes a mini-Airbnb business is operating out of a second-floor apartment. She said 'at least one Airbnb host is operating multiple units under multiple names, even using one apartment on the second floor as an office.

Dozens of sets of keys are visible through the window'. In the meantime, the building's owners claim they are trying to tackle the problem - but the current bylaws are making it difficult for them to put a stop to it. It begs the question whether Airbnb should have been allowed to take a foothold in this city at all.

The popular Quartier gourmande on the second floor of the Astral will be back, free admission, reasonable prices for tastings

Bon appétit! Montréal en lumière unveils its menu T he 21st edition of Montréal en lumière (MEL) is coming to town

By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca

next week. As every year at this time, it is an occasion for Montrealers and visitors alike to enjoy this unique winter festival.

This year's MEL will run between February

20 and March 1, including the traditional Nuit blanche celebration, which will fall on Saturday, February 29 (this is a leap year, don't forget). The Nuit blanche is a whole night devoted to music, dance, and of course, the delights of the table. Very important: the metro will run all night for the occasion.

This past Tuesday the lineup for the gastronomy section of MEL was unveiled. I should say that the menu is diverse in terms of the different culinary traditions to be present, as well as in terms of prices, which of course is very important as well. Thus, besides the many restaurants that

will be hosting international chefs, the successful Quartier gourmand on the second floor of the Astral (305 Ste. Catherine West) will make a return. This is a place where you can attend free conferences and enjoy some tastings at reasonable prices.

Montrealers once again will be invited to defy the cold and venture into the numerous outdoor activities around the Quartier des spectacles: the Ferris wheel will be installed just on the Place des arts esplanade, the ice toboggan will be there as well, and many kiosks where people can experience food and

drinks.

The organizers have also announced that "a Village Gourmand will be built on the outdoor site, in front of L'Astral. Among other things, it will feature La Nuit du Chocolat chaud, presented by Valrhona for the benefit of La Tablée des chefs, and the Jeu Quiz Gourmand, hosted by Randolph."

Besides the chefs from different countries and the variety of culinary traditions offered by the participant restaurants, Quebec produces and specialty drinks will also be featured. At Espace SAQ Origine Québec, visitors can discover a great selection of

Quebec cider cocktails. At the same time, from February 20 to 22, the 14th edition of Fête des Fromages d'ici will feature 20 Quebec cheesemakers at Complexe Desjardins.

Of course, music is also an essential part of MEL, among the artists to be presented are, Shay Lia and Jon Vinyl, February 26, 8 p.m., Astral. Montrealbased Franco-Djiboutian artist Shay Lia became known by writing hits for Kaytranada: Leave me Alone and Chances.

Her debut album, Dangerous, has hit 10 million streams. Jon Vinyl is a young Toronto artist whose pop-soul

songs are both sophisticated and vulnerable, with strummed guitar chords and waving synths. Other events include Voltigo, who will perform "a series of acrobatic feats from up to 25 metres in the air, with only 3 feet of water to stop them."

And also Dynamo, specially created for the festival, and announced as a "fun blend of circus acts, trampoline, and choreography."

continued from Page 3

RENOVATION WORK AREAS IN PROGRESS: "What we call the center court… it's really smack in the middle of the center, you'll see we already started demolishing some of the planters, we also took out some of the fountains and those are being replaced with some seating areas, so that has already taken place. In the South corridor, where the Renaud-Bray and Old Navy are situated, the ceilings have come out already and then the West mall, which is basically the old Sears corridor, where Simons and Dining Hall are going, some of the railings have been taken down and some of the large lighting fixtures. At Fairview, we have those rather large lighting fixtures hanging from the canopy, so some of those have also started to come down. And towards the end of the renovation, you will see the entrances being changed. What we have there now is those large glass structures, they are going to be removed and we are going to have four or five sleek, new entrances. And the ceramics… we go according the corridors, and not to get too technical, you want to make sure the tile is straight, so you have to start at one end and then move along towards the other end… so you will see it sort of creeping along."

Most of the work will be done at night. However, during certain stages, some work will take place during store hours, but it will be done with as little impact as possible. "Our number one priority is our customers, they want to continue shopping. And of course, our retailers - we want to make sure our retailers can get their product to the customer, so we are doing everything we can to minimize the disruption… it should almost be painless as this moves along. The shops close in the evening, (then) the trades come on site and they work throughout the night to get as much done as they can," he explained.

Five warning signs that your loved one should be considering a move to a retirement home / Senior Community

I

’s not easy to admit that one is getting older, especially when your body and your mind are not what they used to be. Moving a family member into a senior care residence is never a simple decision. It may not be easy to broach the subject with your loved ones. In fact, they may be resistant to moving and they may fear losing their independence.

By Matt Del Vecchio mtltimes.ca

However, here are 5 warning signs that your loved one should be considering a move to a retirement / senior residence: 1. Physical When there are physical and anatomical signs of deterioration that will affect their wellbeing and their safety. A person who is having trouble getting out to shop or remembering how to cook or when to eat can result in significant nutritional issues. This could range from unhealthy weight loss or conversely, excessive weight gain. Check the fridge and watch meal-prep skills. Other examples include loss of sight or hearing, loss of balance, stroke, disease. or physical conditions, such as arthritis and osteoporosis.

2. Mental Behaviour – Cognitive, Language, and Decision Making Cognitive decline can have serious ramifications, especially if your loved one can't take medications correctly, is not able to fix a meal or doesn't remember to eat. If a loved one exhibits confusion, poor judgment, or other signs of cognitive impairment, assisted living is often a good next step.

3. Caregiver Stress There are the psychological costs of caregiving and of making difficult care decisions, which can be compared to the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. Caregivers may experience symptoms like disabling anx-

www.mtltimes.ca

iety, hyper-vigilance and more.The emotional, mental and physical toll of caregiving can be particularly pronounced for adult children or spouses of those who need care. In cases like this, when the demands of care become too great, it might be clear immediately. In other cases, it might not be so obvious.

4. Safety and Security This is a common reason why families consider a move. They noticed that their loved ones are not as sure on their feet as they used to be or their eyesight is less clear, causing them to be a fall risk. According to the Canadian Public Health Agency, falls remain the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations among Canadian seniors.

5. Loneliness It’s normal for activity to decrease with age.

But if your loved one once enjoyed spending time in the yard gardening, or simply being with friends, and then chooses to no longer engage in these activities, or rarely leaves the house, it may be time to consider a senior living residence. This is a sign that behavioral changes are underway.

Helping your loved ones to recognize the signs of when it is time to move, having an open dialogue with the family members involved and taking the time to discuss the options will go a long way in making the transition to senior care residence more agreeable for everyone.

ADVOCATE: For the sake of human rights Movie Review - By: Sergio Martinez - mtltimes.ca

Already as a young lawyer, Lea Tsemel started defending Palestinian prisoners

By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca ea Tsemel is not your ordinary Israeli lawyer, for fifty years she has been defending Palestinian prisoners, not only those who may have demonstrated peacefully but also those who have taken a violent path. “The Israelis have no right to tell the Palestinians how to pursue their fight against occupation of their land” she says in one of the scenes of the documentary directed

by Philippe Bellaiche and Rachel Leah Jones, who also wrote the script.

The film takes the spectator through two of her most recent cases, one of a 13-yearold Palestinian who attacked some Jews on a Jerusalem street, the other, a woman accused of trying to blow herself up with a bomb at the Israeli border, which in

L

the end didn’t work.

The present-day legal drama is interposed with interesting and very pertinent archival footage of this very special woman: her youth years, references to family members killed during the Holocaust, her army service, her student activism and her husband, also an activist. Above all, her strong belief –shared at the time by other fellow young Israelis– that peace with the Palestinians was possible and that for this to be achieved, Israeli occupation of Palestinian land should end. Certainly a controversial view then, and even more so now when right-wing nationalism seems so engrained in Israeli society.

“Advocate” in a deeper sense, is not only a testimony of this Jewish woman defending Palestinians who are usually presented as coldblooded “terrorists” but it is also a chronicle of someone fighting for justice against all odds.

Of course, to defend people who have indeed committed acts of violence resulting in the death or harm of innocent people, simply because it happens that they are Jewish is a daring and even perhaps provocative task. Lea Tsemel, because of that,

Recmits that in most cases she is “the loser lawyer” and, in fact, only on a few occasions she may have enjoyed some small victories, such as the time when the Israeli Supreme Court determined that the secret services could not torture prisoners and statements obtained through such methods could not be admissible in court.

This is a film that invites to heated discussions, of course, in any democratic society even those offenders accused of the worst crimes have the right to a defense, but what certainly is more controversial in Lea’s case is the fact that she usually bases her cases on the political issue at the 4.

ave you made a list of all expenses related to the sale of your home? I am talking about expenses that are unforeseen and not planned for. If you are aware of them in the first place that is, you can plan accordingly. Some of these costs are optional, and will make the difference between selling and not selling, as well as selling at a much higher price. Would you be ready to spend about $2000 even before

H

By Eleni (Helen) Akrivos

mtltimes.ca listing your home, if you knew for certain that you would get at least $10 000 or more for your home?

Since these surprise costs can come up before listing your home for sale, during the process as well as after the sale is concluded, it is important to work with a broker with experience who can make you aware of your options and how to deal with unexpected issues when they come along.

The main cost people associate with selling is the commission paid to the real estate brokers. Sellers often forget that charging taxes on the commission is the norm, since selling your home is a service and this is clearly stated in your brokerage contract.

Before even listing your home, there are some expenses to consider, some mandatory and others optional. When calculating

What are the real costs of selling your home? your net result of the sale, it is imperative to know the exact amount of your PREPAYMENT MORTGAGE PENALTY, whether it be $1000 or $15 000, you need to know this number!

Make sure you call the lender of your mortgage, who will calculate the penalty based on your agreement and type of mortgage. All your legal paper work pertaining to your home need to be up to date.

If the Certificate of Location for example is over 10 years old, a new one is needed at about a cost of $800 - $900. As a seller you may consider paying for a PRE-SALE Building Inspection to avoid any major unforeseen repairs later on in the process, this is of course optional. The cost is between $500 to $700.

Another optional and very important cost to consider before listing, is related to preparing your home for sale. I recommend that a minimal home staging be done by the sellers, and yes this does require some effort and expense but is totally worth it! This includes time and money spent on a big house clean up, de-cluttering, possible storage rental, light landscaping, painting and decorating.

The other aspect of selling you may forget about is making those small repairs you have been putting off.

Repairing the cracked walkway, the air conditioner or appliance that is not working may seem insignificant, but to the potential buyers, the more “move-in-ready” your home is the more ready

they will be to make you an offer! Spending about $2500 properly will give you a return of $5000 or more.

Once your property is on the market expenses may come up. While most brokers pay for the cost of marketing your property, some may charge separately for certain items.

Keep in mind if something breaks or an issue comes up in your home such as a leak or a furnace no longer working, it is up to the seller to keep up the maintenance and repairs of the home up until the new buyer takes over.

With an accepted offer, a buyer has the right to have a Building Inspection, which more often than not will reveal some minor repairs and hopefully nothing major. If a major building

issue needs addressing and causes a major expense to the buyers, they may negotiate that you take care of the issue. In cases where there is mold in the attic, major foundation cracks or vermiculite insulation, the seller is most likely the one who will incur this expense by either reducing their price or fixing the issue.

This is a grey zone and working with an experienced broker to consult with is crucial in the negotiation of major issues following a building inspection.

With everything finalized, you will be signing the deed of sale at the notary, where there may be additional expenses to note. In order to remove the mortgage legally from your property, the notary will charge a “Radiation” fee for each

loan on the property, costing from $650 - $800 per loan. As the seller, you may need to purchase Title Insurance if there is any defect or problems with the title of ownership, the notary will normally require this if necessary and the cost is about $250.

At the notary, there will also be calculations made for specific adjusted amounts that were previously agreed upon with the buyer. There will be the usual adjustments for municipal taxes, school taxes, oil reserves, in which case you may end up receiving money from the buyer for taxes you have already paid as the seller. Other adjustments can be for a “rental” compensation to the buyers if you are not vacating the property right away and need to stay there for a month or more. Other amounts can be adjusted last minute, if any surprises are found by the notary concerning the property, but hopefully by now, everything has been accounted for and you have officially sold!

After the buyers take possession of the property, if they bought the home with the regular Legal Warranty, then as the seller you may still be responsible for certain defects or break downs depending on the individual situation. It is best to consult the real estate brokers involved and possibly your lawyer if it gets to that.

A group of happy volunteers committed to sharing and caring photo provided by Sun Youth

Sun Youth is kooking for Volunteers

olunteer of all ages contribute to Sun Youth in many ways. From elementary school students to retired seniors, with a wide variety of people in between, all volunteers are an essential part of the organization and they have been since its founding in 1954. 65 years ago, 13 year-old Sid Stevens and 9 yearold Earl De La Perralle created what would become Sun Youth and managed to get their friends involved as volunteers. Over the years, with the invaluable contribution of countless volunteers, the founders were able to take the organization from a small sports and recreation club to one of the best-known charities in Montreal.

Today, Sun Youth can count on the support of over 1,800 volunteers every year, performing over 176,000 hours of volunteer work annually – the equivalent of 80 full-time jobs. Some of them have special needs and are on governmental programs that allow them to gain work experience and develop skills which will eventually lead them to the work market.

Sun Youth sees its volunteers as part of a big

V

family. The organization is always looking for people to fill in different roles in its various activities. It seeks individuals for its customer services for roles such as counselors, delivery agents and receptionists. Volunteers can also give a hand in administrative support, accounting, data entry, IT support and secretarial work.The organization’s communications department is also looking for people with skills in computer graphics, photography, video editing, writing, proofreading and translation.

Those interested in working with children can put their skills in

sports animation, gardening animation, tutoring, nutrition science and physical training to good use. Finally, people looking for something more physical can contribute to Sun Youth through urban agriculture, carpentry, small manual work and manual handling.

People interested to volunteer with Sun Youth can contact the Volunteers Coordinator, Mrs. Lisa Perrault, at 514-842-6822 # 251, email bvt@sunyouthorg.com, or visit Sun Youth’s website (sunyouthorg.com/become-a-volunteer) to apply online.
