A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM MILE END MEMORIES:

1. The next activity of Mile End Memories will take place on Saturday 1 October 2011, as part of the Journées de la culture and the Montreal Architectural Heritage Campaign.

Rialto Theatre Restoration Project
Ezio Carosielli and Pierre Beaupré, architect

The Rialto, a 1924 movie palace, is currently undergoing restoration that will gradually bring back its original splendor. The current owner, Mr. Ezio Carosielli, will speak of his intention to make the theatre accessible to the Mile End and Montreal community. The architect Mr. Pierre Beaupré will present the architectural choices made for the restoration of this building – a heritage site both federally and provincially – but which has been modified over the years with less concern for its architectural heritage. The presentation will be followed by an opportunity to walk around the theatre. A light snack will be served.

Saturday 1 October 2011, from noon to 2 pm
Location: Théâtre Rialto, 5723 avenue du Parc (at Bernard)
Bus 80 (metro Place-des-Arts or Parc) or 160 (metro Beaubien)
The presentations will be given in French – discussion in both languages
