The South West, a borough in full transformation...

The Atwater Market in the heart of the Southwest...

The Atwater Market is a public market located in the South West borough of Montreal.

The market opened in 1933 and is currently the largest public market in Montreal.

It is also one of the oldest continuously operating markets in North America.

The Atwater Market is located on the site of the former St. James Market, which was destroyed by fire in 1931.

The new market was designed by architect Victor Bercovici and built in the Art deco style.

It is three stories high and has a mezzanine with offices, storage rooms and a cafeteria.

The first floor contains stalls for butchers, fishmongers, bakers, fruit and vegetable vendors, delis, florists and other businesses.

There is also a food court on the first floor with several fast food restaurants.

The second floor contains other businesses such as clothing stores, art galleries, antique shops and jewelry stores.

Do you know your Griffintown?

Griffintown is a neighbourhood located in the South-West of Montreal. It is bordered to the north by Ville-Marie/Centre-ville and to the south and east by the Sud-Ouest borough.

Griffintown was traditionally a working-class Irish neighbourhood from the 1840s to the 1960s.

Today, it is undergoing major regeneration with the construction of several condo towers along Ann Street and Rue des Seigneurs (Montreal's tallest condo tower, Place Bellerive, is located just outside the Griffintown boundary at 1030 Rue de La Montagne).

Irish immigrants began settling in this area in 1832 after fleeing the Great Famine in their homeland.

The neighborhood was named after Mary Griffin, who owned most of the surrounding land at that time. By 1855, Griffintown was home to one-third of Montreal's Irish population and a growing number of French-Canadian workers employed in local industry, such as shipbuilding and railroads.

The construction of the Lachine Canal contributed to the economic growth of Griffintown, which attracted more industrial activity and factories such as Harringay Warehouse (a wool storage facility) and the Royal Drapery Company, which employed hundreds of workers.

In 1905, construction began on a large housing project called Our Lady of the Arrows or Armour Heights, providing affordable housing for families working in the nearby factories.

However, these apartments were intended only for white tenants and strict racial clauses were put in place to prevent minorities from moving in.

This policy remained in effect until 1950, when the barriers preventing blacks from living there were finally lifted after years of protests led by civil rights activist Fred Rose.

After World War II, many soldiers returned home to find that their jobs had been given away to immigrants willing to work for lower wages.

Tensions between English-speaking workers and immigrant employees led to labour disputes throughout Quebec in the 1940s, which resulted in riots throughout Montreal, including in the Griffintown area.

The situation eventually calmed down, but relations between Anglophones and other language groups remained strained for many years.
