She Has Also BuiltMontréalOn March 8 th of each year until 2017 (and our375 th anniversary celebrations), a Montréal womanwill be honoured for outstanding contributions to thecity’s development. In 2011, it was one of the very firstpio neers: Jeanne Mance, cofounder of Montréal with Paulde Chomedey de Maisonneuve. Fittingly she was the first to benamed a Bâtisseuse de la Cité.Joining her in this elevated status in 2012 was the visionary MoniqueSavoie, founding president and artistic director of the Society for Artsand Technology (SAT). Unquestionably a builder of the city of today andtomorrow, Monique Savoie has made and continues to make significantcontributions to the rise of an avant-garde metropolis that has secured anenviable international reputation. Established in 1996, SAT is a transdisciplinarycentre for research, creation, production, dissemination and training,dedicated to the development and preservation of digital culture. SAT, witha current membership of over 10,000, hosts, produces or coproduces some240 events every year.Happy Birthday, Dear Sieur!2012 marked the 400 th anniversary of the birth of Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve and founder of Montréal. This was cause fornumerous celebrations on both sides of the Atlantic.On Maisonneuve’s actual birthday, February 15, his home village of Neuville-sur-Vanne dedicated a commemorative plaque in hishonour. At the very same moment, a great number of citizens bearing the Maisonneuve surname was gathered at Montréal’s CityHall for the national radio phone-in show Maisonneuve en direct and a program dedicated to this illustrious character from history.Throughout the summer, he was front and centre in a series of events organized by, among others, the Société historique deMontréal, the Pointe-à-Callière museum and the Montréal History Museums association. The city founder’s birthday foundseveral different expressions: a weekly program on Radio Ville-Marie, an expansive Tribute to Maisonneuve showcase atPointe-à-Callière, a mass at Notre-Dame Basilica, as well as a number of archaeological digs.33
