     History
    After the building closed, a non-profit group Centre Tcheque Inc. obtained a 99-year lease on the property for $1 from Parks Canada in 2002. A proposal was to build a $1-million, four-storey cultural centre for activities organized by the Czech and other communities. The building would have become the property of Parks Canada at the end of the lease. The project didn't go through, since a condition of the lease was that the land had to be decontaminated within two (2) years after the lease was obtained (Approx $ = 330,000)
     Media Coverage
    Appeared recently in the Montreal Gazette regarding the land being put up for sale.
     Future Plans
    Will be part of the new redevelopment for the area called Les bassins du nouveau havre. Condos, townouses and social housing in a mixt usage area. http://www.lesbassins.ca/
