Heritage Montreal is a Canadian non-profit organization that is dedicated to the protection of the architectural, historic, natural and cultural heritage of Greater Montreal.[1] It was founded by architectural activist and Canadian Centre for Architecture founder Phyllis Lambert in 1975.[2] It was preceded by the creation of Save Montreal, a volunteer group co-founded by Michael Fish, formed after the controversial demolition of the Van Horne Mansion by developer David Azrieli in 1973 under the mayoralty of Jean Drapeau.[3]
In October 2009, Heritage Montreal, Lambert and others announced that they would be participating in a think tank called the Institut de politiques alternatives de Montréal, to advise the city on a range of matters including urban planning, development and heritage.[4][5]
