MUHC in the community update at The Rotary Club of Westmount

Noted Westmount resident Dr. Maureen Kiely recently gave members and guests of local Rotary Club a detailed update on the Inter-Neighbourhood Coalition (CIQ) and the CURA Project and their relation to the MUHC Hospital at the Glen site.

Kiely, who participates on the coalition as a representative of the Westmount Municipal Association, presented an overview of citizen participation in the development of the new MUHC and what CIQ is doing to make sure that community interests are heard in the development and planning. She was accompanied by an associate, Westmounter Jason Prince, coordinator or the ARUC Megaprojects community services at McGill University, who gave a PowerPoint presentation. Kiely was emphatic that the CIQ’s representative cannot divulge planning information to the member groups, but nothing prevents the community groups from making their concerns and ideas known to the MUHC and to the consortia bidding to build the project.

Her presentation left the audience with much to think about and discuss. The CIQ is a group of community organizations including the WMA, from the districts Westmount, Notre-Dame-de-Grace and St Henri most affected by the project.
