Although the mill is a heritage building, classified by the Ministry of Culture and Communications of Quebec since 1983 (in French), in addition to being on the heritage site of Pointe Claire (in French), cited in 2013, it is exposed to the elements and its condition deteriorates more and more over the years. The owner of the premises, the Compagnie des prêtres de Saint-Sulpice, is faced with a reality that affects all religious communities, namely the difficulty of having sufficient financial resources to ensure the maintenance and enhancement of their architectural heritage.
In addition to being an exceptional witness to the beginnings of the French presence in America, the mill has been used as a visual identifier of the city of Pointe-Claire for many years, confirming its importance in the history and the landscape of the city (in French).
In 2025, an organization called La Société pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine de Pointe-Claire mobilized to reengage the municipality and the Archdiocese regarding the restoration of the mill. Following this mobilization and a fundraising campaign, an agreement was reached between the organization and the Archdiocese. Thanks to a lease signed by both parties, the nonprofit organization will now occupy the site and oversee its management for the next 50 years. The organization is also responsible for managing the restoration work, which is set to begin in 2025.
