Unveiling of the SOS Montfort Resistance Monument.

The Commission announces that Hôpital Montfort will remain open and retain its own administration.

The laneway leading up to the hospital is renamed “Avenue du 22 mars” to mark the anniversary of the Grand Ralliement solidarity rally.

The SOS Montfort Fund campaign is launched. 

Montfort’s cause is defended by Ronald Caza before three judges of the Ontario Divisional Court, before a packed courtroom.

The Ontario Divisional Court rules in favour of Montfort and contests the Commission’s instructions. The Court orders that the hospital remain open.

Three judges of the Court of Appeal hear both parties defend their positions in Toronto.

Victory! Ontario’s Court of Appeal hands down a unanimous and unequivocal decision in favour of SOS Montfort.

Following the Court of Appeal’s ruling, and in light of chronic under-funding, the hospital receives a large budget to enable it to pursue its double mission of community services and teaching.
