MONTRÉAL, Oct. 27, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Today marked the kickoff of the organization of Montréal's 375th anniversary celebrations. Denis Coderre, Mayor of Montréal, Robert Poëti, Québec Minister of Transport and Minister responsible for the Montréal region, and the senator Jean-Guy Dagenais representing  the honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, all took to the microphone alongside France Chrétien Desmarais, President of the Board of Directors of the Society for the Celebration of Montréal's 375th Anniversary and Gilbert Rozon, Commissioner for Celebrations, as they offered their respective support for the 375th festivities, set to take place in 2017. All three levels of government confirmed their commitment to invest in the organization of memorable events worthy of the cosmopolitan city. 

France Chrétien Desmarais, President of the Society's Board of Directors, responsible of the programming of the festivities of the 375th, was delighted to highlight the positive response received from the public authorities and pledged her commitment to ensure the celebration's success. "We view the festivities as an investment in Montréal's future. They must create new pride in our city and generate socioeconomic and tourism spin-offs".

Montréal took this opportunity to officially announced today the legacies it plans to leave Montrealers as part of the 375th anniversary of the city's founding. These legacies embrace history, access to green spaces and the St. Lawrence River and strengthen existing infrastructures as wished by Montrealers. These projects will reinvent downtown and stimulate eastern Montréal. All legacies have a cultural aspect. Cité Mémoire, Promenade urbaine « Fleuve-Montagne », Parcours découverte du Mont-Royal and the Champ-de-Mars sector project are a few examples of the projects that will lead the way to the revitalization of Montréal.

"The 375th anniversary of the founding of Montréal will be a major milestone in the city's economic recovery. It will be an opportunity to strengthen our position as a green, sustainable metropolis and an innovation capital with tangible accomplishments that are in harmony with our values and identity. In anticipation of the 375th anniversary celebrations, we have developed an action plan that will help to revitalize the city and leave behind significant contributions to the city", said the Mayor of Montréal.

The Minister Responsible for the Montréal Region Robert Poëti emphasized that these events are considered very important by the Gouvernement du Québec, which will contribute in a variety of ways. "For my part, I am totally committed to this event with a view to ensuring that together we can make this 375th anniversary a resounding success and one commensurate with our ambitions for Montréal's success and the benefits and pride this will bring."

As far as the Honorable Jean-Guy Dagenais, he confirm the federal government commitment. For "2017 will truly mark an important year for our great country as we celebrate our 150th anniversary of Canada and the 375th anniversary of your beautiful city of Montreal. Our Government will be present and contributing to the success of the 375th celebrations and we hope that all Canadians will take part in the festivities."
