And then again in 1910, However, this was still not enough: a larger church in honour of Saint Joseph was needed. In 1917, a new crypt-church was inaugurated that was able to hold over a thousand people.

Montreal 的最后一站是1976 Montreal 奥运会场， 俗称 White elephant. 是世界上花费最高的奥运会场。从1970 开始筹建，到2006年最后付清账单，总开销（包括维修，改造，建筑，利息，通货膨胀）为Canadian $1.61 billion.
# J( I6 z6 L8 p
Despite initial projections in 1970 that the stadium would cost only C$134 million to construct, strikes and construction delays served to escalate these costs. By the time the stadium opened (in an unfinished form), the total costs had risen to C$264 million.

The Quebec government introduced a special tobacco tax in May 1976 to help recoup its investment. By 2006, the amount contributed to the Olympic Installations Board accounted for 8% of the tax revenue earned from cigarette sales. The 1976 special tobacco tax act stipulated that once the stadium was paid off, ownership of the facility would be returned back to the City of Montreal.

Despite initial plans to complete payment in October 2006, an indoor smoking ban introduced in May 2006 curtailed the revenue gathered by the tobacco tax.
