This 12-minute podcast explores the Autonomous Social Center (ASC) project, a dynamic initiative of activists and residents of Point St-Charles, one of Montreal's oldest working-class communities. The Autonomous Social Center was opened on May 29, 2009, and was intended to be a building squatted for a variety of different social and political uses.
Local groups Centre Social Auto-geré (CSA), Action-Gardien and a group advocating the protection of access to the Lachine Canal will attempt to have their say at the Southwest borough council meeting next Tuesday, July 7, and to grill borough officials on accepting a proposal to build a condo by the Lachine Canal in Pointe St-Charles.
Pointe St Charles was stage to an important social movement in May and June 2009. As CUTV followed the family demonstration on May 29th, questions about what would happen to the Autonomous Social Center in the weeks to come abounded. This news piece retraces the beginning steps of the ASC and what has happened to it since. One question remains, what now?
