Before: Under the old zoning (Rb-605), there was more ambiguity — the site had been a school, some people thought it could still be community space, cultural use, or “open to the public.”
Now: With the new Urban Plan (81-2025) and the draft zoning by-law (113-2025, H-019 grid), the land is strictly private residential.
That means no public uses are permitted (no community centre, no cultural club, no open gathering place).
Legally, the site is treated like any other private home development land.
Access: The public no longer has any reason or right to enter the property. Visiting the land like before (walking, exploring the schoolyard, using it as a hangout) is trespassing.
