‘You have to fight’: Montreal tenants say renoviction prevented after 2-year battle
. Now residents of a Plateau-Mont-Royal apartment building in Montreal are declaring victory after their home was purchased by a non-profit organization.
“I told people to fight and I decided to fight,” said Thifault. “I was going to fight until I couldn’t do it anymore.”From there, a movement was born. Resident Pascal Lavoie, 32, became one of its leaders. After two years of putting pressure on the building’s owner, Hillpark has officially sold Manoir Lafontaine to Interloge, a non-profit organization operating since 1978 that owns over 900 units. The price tag was $18 million, with a chunk of that coming from the City of Montreal.
