Great reporting on the #OldMontreal fire by the MTL Gazette. One of the missing residents is #artist Camille Maheux, who is one of only three remaining long-term tenants in the building. The rest are #Airbnb rentals. A friend says she was facing rent increases and being pressured to move out. She had lived at 224 Place d’Youville for 40 years.
