About Us
About Us
We are a community of active 55+, autonomous, and young at heart individuals. St. Patrick Square Development Foundation is a non-profit organization whose excellent management services conscientiously maintain and upgrade our dwellings, without relying on any government funding.
If there is one word that best describes St. Patrick Square, it would be “COMMUNITY”. We are fortunate to have an active and involved Board of Directors that operates with a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Our Directors and Members range in backgrounds from architects to engineers, to accountants. They are all dedicated individuals who generously volunteer their time and have the “Square’s” best interests at heart.
The St. Patrick Square Recreation Association is made up of a select group of tenants who volunteer their time and energy to organize many enthusiastically attended special event activities and dinners in addition to the weekly and monthly activities. A unique community environment brings tenants together with wide-ranging activities, such as special events and outings, theme parties, physical fitness, fun, and artistic endeavors. Artistically minded individuals may consider joining the Art Group; those who enjoy the camaraderie of community singing may join the Choir.
History
With seed funds provided by ST. PATRICK’S SOCIETY, one of Montreal’s oldest cultural organizations established on March 17th, 1834, and with the blessing and cooperation of the Federal Government, Joseph Dunne’s dream took its first steps with the ground-breaking ceremony on August 24th, 1977.
St. Patrick Square became a reality when Primer Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau officially opened the Square on March 10th, 1979.
