History
Originally incorporated in 1961 under the name “Invergordon Scottish Centre”, the first “Scottish Centre” of Montreal was primarily managed by the Invergordon Camp of the Sons of Scotland Benevolent Association. Over the next few years, members from other Sons of Scotland camps participated in the administration of the Centre and the insurance plans that it offered. Thus, the decision to change the name to “The Scottish Centre of Montreal” was proposed and accepted.
“Invergordon Scottish Centre” was legally changed to “Scottish Centre of Montreal” in 1971. Originally located at 1216 Stanley Street in Montreal, the Scottish Centre moved to 1610 Stephens Avenue in Verdun in the summer of 1989. From 1989 to its closure in January 2018, the Scottish Centre served as a meeting place for various camps of the Sons of Scotland Benevolent Association and served as a location for community functions.
