The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is entering the next phase in the disposal of one of its properties - the former Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Penitentiary in Laval, Quebec.
CSC is currently working on the disposal process of this federal property in order to be ready for sale to Canada Lands Company (CLC) by the year 2024.
CSC will continue to work on several due diligence steps as part of the disposal process, including land surveys and environmental, archeological and heritage assessments, which will be completed by the end of 2023.
Information about CSC's intent to dispose of the property was shared with Indigenous groups in the fall of 2021. CSC will continue to work with Public Services and Procurement Canada, Justice Canada and CLC to complete the disposal due diligence requirements and next steps. CSC has been working, and will continue to work, closely with experts to ensure that appropriate heritage considerations and obligations are transferred to the new owner.
CSC will be consulting with other levels of government and stakeholders, including Indigenous groups to seek public interest in this property.
