One of a kind in Quebec<\/h2>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\t\t\t\n\n

In the 1970s, the Centre-Sud neighbourhood, Montreal\u2019s former industrial stronghold, underwent a period of deindustrialization, demographic decline, and economic crisis. Faced with these challenges, the population rallied around community groups to offer services, promote mutual aid, and defend their rights. One of these groups, Habitations communautaires Centre-Sud, was tasked with developing housing cooperatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was within this organization that the idea of a museum for the neighbourhood emerged in 1980: a \u201cMaison du fier monde\u201d (House of Proud People), later renamed an ecomuseum when it was incorporated. This makes our institution unique in Quebec in three ways. First, it is the only one to have its roots in a community organization. Second, it is the first urban ecomuseum. Finally, it breaks new ground by telling the story of labour and industrialization, a narrative often neglected by traditional museums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its inception, the \u00c9comus\u00e9e has developed a special bond with the public: it highlights the history of working-class neighbourhoods and the daily lives of working families, which until then had often been ignored by most museums in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1980<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A museum committee is formed, bringing together facilitators and residents from neighbourhood cooperatives. Michel Gendron, G\u00e9rald Lafleur, Bertheline M\u00e9thot, Jeanne No\u00ebl, Claude Watters, and several others meet on an ad hoc basis. They are joined by Pierre Mayrand, a museology specialist from the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, and a group of students: Ren\u00e9 Binette, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Blouin, Lisette Cloutier, Anne-Marie Faug\u00e8re, and Micheline Lortie. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
