We are often asked how many organizations are housed by the CCGLM at 2075 Plessis in Montreal and what are the rents paid, because some of our interlocutors claim that rents would not be paid in a building that is provided by the City of Montreal. Here is the state of the situation: between 2014 and 2018, six organizations shared the premises of Plessis Street. Here is their name and the amount of their annual rent provided by Ville-Marie borough according to the Access to Information Act.
