À nous Montréal

It is with great pride that I present À nous Montréal, the new publication from the Ville de Montréal, marking the official start of summer!

Discover at a glance all that your city has to offer this summer, from Pointe-aux-Trembles to Pierrefonds, and from the shores of the St. Lawrence to the banks of Rivière-des-Prairies.Venture outside of your borough and see what is happening elsewhere, in other neighbourhoods. You’ll see. You don’t have to go far to have fun, take in some culture or do your favorite activity.

À nous Montréal replaces the Accès Culture brochure, with many improvements. Of course, you will find the summer cultural program, and the list of festivals and events in which

the Ville de Montréal participates. In addition, you’ll find information on all the elements that give Montréal its exceptional quality of life: its libraries, large parks, public art, ecology, environment, Space for Life museums, and much more. I invite you to keep this publication throughout the year to refer to the articles on ecocentres, animal management, housing or our built heritage.

Enjoy the excitement of summer in the city. Dive into À nous Montréal and enjoy!

I wish you the very best of summer.

Discover your MontréalMontréal is a city of a thousand faces. If each Montrealer were asked to describe his or her neighbourhood, we would get a full range of vibrant, colourful and touching testimonies, each very different.

The downtown urban dweller, for example, would talk about being immersed in culture, the joy of being in the heart of the action and of walking to work, to dinner, to the theatre and to shops.

Residents of Côte-des-Neiges and Outremont would describe the trails on magnificent Mount Royal, so close to home, and the typical charm of their neighbourhood commercial streets: Bernard, Van Horne and Côte-des-Neiges.

People in the Sud-Ouest borough would praise the Lachine Canal with its waterfront parks, bicycle paths, its industrial heritage and the unique character of each neighbourhood, making them perfectly suited to family life.

In Mercier, people would rave about their “suburb in the city”, steps away from the

St. Lawrence and the magnificent Promenade Bellerive, while touting the charms of their beautiful Victorian houses and the warmth of the residents.

Residents of Rivière-des-Prairies would emphasize the privilege of living at the confluence of Rivière des Prairies and the St. Lawrence River, the abundance of regional parks all around, but also their tight-knit neighbourhood life.

The key word in all these testimonies: proximity. To discover what makes each of Montréal’s neighbourhoods special, visit habitermontreal.com.

A lifestyle you’ll loveWhatever your lifestyle, Montréal has an impressive selection of properties adapted to a healthy and active lifestyle, from which everything is accessible on foot, on your bicycle or by public transit. More and more households actually choose not to own a car. With backyards, large balconies, terraces, patios, lanes, neighbourhood parks and vast nature parks, there are so many ways to enjoy the outdoors in the city – and make friends.

LIVING IN MONTRÉALLiving in Montréal lets you experience something greater than yourself. It means moving about to the rhythm of a city designed on a human scale, where excitement and peace of mind go hand in hand. It means being able to lose yourself in both natural settings and the urban landscapes of skyscrapers. It means an easy commute and lots of time for leisure. It gives you access to an unparalleled diversity of culture, sports, culinary experiences and architecture while enjoying neighbourhood life. In short, it brings you the best of both worlds!

8 À NOUS MONTRÉAL

A place to call homeWhether you live with your family, as a couple, with a roommate or alone, you will find in Montréal an impressive choice of housing in a wide range of prices, each with their advantages: single-family homes, plexes, condominiums, privately owned, co-op or subsidized rental dwellings. They all share a common feature: they are served by public transportation and enable you to enjoy all that the city has to offer.

Montréal has approximately:•100,000single-familyhomes•90,000condominiums•70,000duplexesand28,000triplexes•Morethan500,000rentalunitsWith this wide range of possibilities, there’s something for everyone!

BECOMING A HOME OWNER IN MONTRÉAL IS WITHIN YOUR REACH!

Buying a home in Montréal is more beneficial than you think.

A car comes at a costToo many households that buy in the suburbs forget to factor in transportation-related expenditures, which often include the costs of a second car. At the end of the year, driving tens of kilometres each day to get to work or for shopping can run up a hefty bill.

Did you know? Transportation expenses represent on average 18% of the overall expenditures of a couple with one child or more, and are the second most costly budgetary item after housing. By the end of the year, these costs vary between$9,100and$11,900percar1 (for an average annual use of 18,000 km).

In addition to these direct transportation costs, indirect costs must be added, including time lost for daily commuting between the suburbs and Montréal – plus the inevitable stress factor.

1 CAA (2013). Coûts d’utilisation d’une automobile – Au-delà de l’étiquette de prix : comprendre les dépenses liées au véhicule. (How much does using a car really cost? – Beyond the price tag: understanding the costs related to car ownership).

According to a study by HEC Montréal 2, a family with two children living in the suburbs with two cars will spend$27,500peryearfortransportation,comparedto$14,250forthesamefamilylivinginthecitywithonevehicle.

In the end, for a household deciding to buy a home in Montréal, not having a second car may amount to savings equivalent to a $160,000 mortgage amortized over25years,orevenupto$210,000,ifindirectcostsare taken into account. In other words, with the same budget, a family can afford to pay a little more for a property in Montréal.

Ultimately, buying in Montréal does not necessarily cost more than in the suburbs. The Montréal property that you like may seem expensive at first glance, but it may be more affordable than you think. In addition, a car depreciates quickly, while a property appreciates in value – even more in Montréal than off the island. So what’s better? Spending or investing?

YES! IT IS POSSIBLE TO RAISE A FAMILY IN MONTRÉAL

Thefactthatnearly250,000families have chosen to live in Montréal is not mere chance. It’s great to raise children in Montréal, to take them to the local park, encourage their sporting abilities at the neighbourhood recreation centre and let them experience the social and cultural diversity that makes the city so vibrant.

My neighbourhood, my urban village You probably heard the old saying that it takes a villagetoraiseachild.The19Montréalboroughsare home to dozens of “urban villages”, structured around their commercial streets. Residents meet and mingle while doing their shopping or taking their daily walks, and catch up on their news. This builds ties and gives the feeling of being part of a community.

Quality time is a good thing. Lots of quality time is even better! For the urban family, the secret to happiness might be to have access to daycare, schools, libraries, grocery stores, shops and leisure facilities on foot or by bicycle. Plus, they get to work in a jiffy by bus, metro, walking or cycling. Do the math: all those hours wasted in your car can be invested in time spent with your children.

Let’s get active and creative!Whether you are involved in sports, a hobby or the arts, whether you’re a child, a teenager or an adult, a fanatic or a beginner, in Montréal, there’s always something to do! Family life in Montréal means that you have access to a wealth of leisure activities at an affordable price, offered in municipal facilities by hundreds of associations, schools and DIY workshops. The only problem is what to choose.

Taxi mom and dad no more! We all want our children to develop their independence. And in Montréal, they can because everything is accessible on foot, by bike or by public transit. So, as our little ones get bigger, they can spread their wings. Going to major festivals with friends and attending the CEGEP or university of their choice are important parts of growing up for teenagers and young adults.

A thousand and one ways to get involved Families living in Montréal will also discover a thousand and one ways to get involved in their communities. Embellish your lane, learn about environmental activities and get involved with the local school or daycare: there are so many ways to build relationships with neighbours. Forget the anonymous neighbourhood stereotype.

Montréal, today and tomorrow For families, living in Montréal means offering their children the best of everything, spending quality time with them and having access to daycare, parks and schools within walking distance, right in the neighbourhood. Living in Montréal means choosing a way of life that meets the needs of each family member, both today and tomorrow. Choosing Montréal lets you live right at the heart of it all, yet it’s so affordable.

TESTIMONY | François Longpré

“ My brother and I bought our house together with our girlfriends. We had a lovely surprise when we arrived in the neighbourhood: many young families with children the same age as ours were already living there. We live near my son’s school and we chose a family daycare very close to home. It is quite possible to live in the city without a car: we’ve been doing it for five years now. We use various means of transportation such as cycling, public transit and sometimes a car, with Communauto or a rental car. It is often much more efficient to get around town without a car.”

DISCOVERING THE NEIGHBOURHOODS

Thinking of buying a residential property in Montréal? Don’t miss the next edition of Découverte de quartiers, which will be held this year at the beginning of October in several neighbourhoods.

Découverte de quartiers is a guided bus tour, led by real estate specialists and local history enthusiasts, which enables you to discover the many attractions and advantages of the various living environments in Montréal.

Who knows? You might find that little nest you’ve been dreaming of. It’s a date! The number of seats is limited. Information and registration on habitermontreal.com, starting in September.

TESTIMONY | Élise Labbé

“ When I met my husband, he was already living in the neighbourhood. We had been living together for a year when I got pregnant. My first instinct was to leave the city because I didn’t think it was possible to raise children in Montréal. Over time, we settled in, and now, six children later, we still haven’t moved. Our children’s friends and their parents are close by, which allows for collaboration between families. We have already considered leaving and finding a bigger house, but our kids were completely against it. They don’t want to leave the neighbourhood: all their friends are here and we have all our little habits that would be hard to give up.”

MONTRÉAL: A CYCLING CITY Montrealers love their bikes, whether they use them for daily transportation, for leisure or to work out. And Montréal continues its efforts to improve its bicycle network and the services offered to cyclists. No wonder Montréal ranked as the #1 bicycle-friendly city in North America and the #8 bicycle-friendly city in the world, according to Copenhagenize’s Bicycle Friendly Cities 2011 index.

MAP THAT OFFERS A WEALTH OF POSSIBILITIES!

The new map of bicycle paths in Greater Montréal is a practical tool to help you explore the city by bicycle, and have fun without hassle. Designed specifically for cyclists, this map contains a wealth of useful information for planning a bike ride filled with activities, whether you’re out for a few hours or the whole day.

For example, there are various symbols identifying the places where you can get drinking water, go for a picnic, take a swim or admire works of public art outdoors. In addition, all the crossings between the north and south shores are well marked, as well as areas where cyclists are allowed to ride.

Mix and match with public transitThe map clearly shows the location of subway stations, commuter train stations and bus routes equipped with bike racks, as well as BIXI stations. It can therefore be used to plan trips that integrate cycling into various other modes of transportation.

Pedal pushing in Montréal – with a twist!In addition to its practical tips, the map of bicycle paths in Greater Montréal offers various interesting destinations to explore. From parks and shorelines to heritage tours, there’s something for every taste and all levels!

Three tours to discover Montréal·The Lachine Canal and the St. Lawrence shoreline: 38 km.

Departure and return points in the Old Port of Montréal.·Parc Jean-Drapeau and the St. Lawrence Seaway: 21 km.

Departure and return points in the Old Port of Montréal. Optional return trip over the seaway between L’Île-des-Sœurs and Sainte-Catherine (+ 20 km).

Mon RésoVélo Doing my part to improve the network Do you know about the Mon RésoVélo mobile application? Available for free for iPhone and Android smart phones, this application enables you to anonymously provide information on your bicycle commuting using your GPS location. Once collected in a database, this information will provide a regularly updated origin-destination survey. This will enable Montréal to better plan the improvement and expansion of its cycling network, so it will correspond better to the daily movements of Montrealers across the city.

SAFETY FIRST!

For safe cycling, here are a few tips.

·Follow the Highway Code.·Be visible, especially at night.·Ride on the street, not on the sidewalk,

except in areas where this practice is accepted.·Obey traffic lights and stop at red lights

and stop signs.·Use cycling paths as much as possible.·Adapt your speed, especially in areas shared

with pedestrians.·Signal your intentions.·Wear a helmet.

When you move, your pets move, too Are you dreaming of adopting a new family member? Your future companion may be waiting for you in one of the many animal shelters in Montréal. Before making this decision, however, think twice: it’s a big commitment.

Do you plan to move to a place where pets are not welcome? Then it’s up to you to find it a new home. If you can’t find a solution within your family or circle of friends, check out our directory of Internet resources. You’ll find the addresses of all animal shelters.

Follow the guide!To enable pet owners to understand their role and responsibilities, the Ville de Montréal has developed a practical guide entitled Vivre à Montréal avec son animal. Provided free of charge when you register your pet, it contains loads of useful information. You can also view it online. ville.montreal.qc.ca/animaux

Did you know? The domestic animal population is estimated at several hundred thousand in Montréal.

Tags are compulsory for all dogs and most cats. Check with your borough to know the regulations in force.

To maximize your chances of finding your pet if it gets lost, a microchip implant is ideal. Check with your veterinarian.

Sterilization of dogs and cats is highly recommended by all professionals in animal health and animal welfare.

WE TAKE CARE OF OUR ANIMALS Having a furry friend is comforting, fun and brightens up the family environment.

À NOUS MONTRÉAL 21

A summer of creativity and diversity!Eclectic and unconventional, Montréal is an active, open and generous city. Montréal never sleeps and offers both citizens and visitors a full range of emotions and excitement throughout the year. In summertime, its outdoor stages, pedestrian streets and public spaces invite everyone to slow down, discover and enjoy. More than a hundred events and major festivals define the Montréal experience, each in their own way. Here’s a glimpse of what your city will be serving up from mid-June to mid-September.

Montréal welcomes musicians from here and around the world for the FrancoFolies (June 14 to 22, www.francofolies.com), Suoni per il popolo (until June 22, casadelpopolo.com) and for the Festival International de Jazz (June 26 to July 6, montrealjazzfest.com). It welcomes top artists from the electro music scene to MEG Montréal (July 24 to August 2, megmontreal.com) and the biggest names in folk/indie music to the Osheaga music and arts festival (August 1 to 3, osheaga.com).

It enables actors, dancers and artists of all disciplines to showcase their talents. You’ll find them all at the International Digital Arts Biennial (until June 22, bianmontreal.ca), the St-Ambroise Montréal FRINGE Festival (June 2 to 22, montrealfringe.ca), or the Escales Improbables de Montréal (starting September 1, escalesimprobables.com).

It welcomes top tennis players for the prestigious Rogers Cup tennis tournament (August 1 to 10, rogerscup.com) and powerhouse cyclists for the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal (September 14, gpcqm.com).

It shows off its rainbow colours for Montréal Pride (August 11 to 17, fiertemontrealpride.com) and the Divers/Cité Festival (July 28 to August 3, diverscite.org), and goes back to its roots with the Montréal FirstPeoplesFestival(July30toAugust5,nativelynx.qc.ca).

Montréal shines a spotlight on the international film scene with the Montréal World Film Festival (August 21 to September 1, ffm-montreal.org). and, for fans of genre film, there’s the Fantasia Festival (July 17 to August5,fantasia.com).

And, of course, Montréal is funny. It keeps us laughing outdoors and indoors at the Just For Laughs Festival (July 11 to 27, hahaha.com), and during the zany shows at Zoofest (July 4 to 28, zoofest.com).

THANKS… TO YOU!

Year after year, Montrealers share their public spaces with major events and festivals. It’s thanks to their openness and flexibility that Montréal is able to offer so many events that overlap and come back-to-back, providing an endless source of discovery and entertainment. There’s never a dull moment in Montréal, and this is first and foremost thanks to Montrealers! So, thanks – to you!

Let’s go on an a picnic!A simple family picnic at the park can turn into a day of adventure and discovery! Get your kids involved in a search expedition for insects, to observe the hard work of ants, let them discover the scent of flowers or play in the shade of a large tree. Bring a small tent for napping toddlers while you plunge yourself in a page-turner. There is no denying it; a day at the park is like a summer vacation!

Nature in the city: it’s good for your healthNature plays an essential role in a city. It contributes, among other things, to reducing the heat island effect, improving air quality and beautifying our neighborhoods. Studies prove that having nature in proximity to our places of residence or work improves our quality of life. This works out well because Montréal is home to a mosaic of natural habitats composed of woods, fallow lands, wetlands and inland waterways, as well as being surrounded by large bodies of water. And it has no less than 1.2 million trees on public land, or almost one tree per resident (1.6 million), and as many trees on private land.

TAKE A BREAK FROM THE CITY!Everywhere in Montréal, there are small pockets of greenery, large green spaces and areas to escape and take a break from the city without ever leaving it. Places where you can move around, recharge your batteries, close your eyes and ... relax.

PUBLIC ART, A WEALTH SHARED BY

Montréal’s impressive public art collection is like a treasure chest of discoveries. In fact, more than 1,000 works of public art dot the city’s landscape. In parks, on the shorelines, underground or on street corners, you’ll find sculptures, monuments, installations, collages and other works that reveal the cultural richness and creativity that drives the city.

More than a hundred of these works have been indexed and grouped together on a map into five discovery tours. Each tour is associated with a particular geographic sector, which allows art lovers to visit the city from a different angle.

Montréal in five tours DISCOVER A MODERN NEIGHBOURHOOD Quartier des spectacles (16 works of art)

MONTRÉAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS AND SURROUNDING AREA MMFA neighbourhood (24 works of art)

CONJUGATE KNOWLEDGE AND HERITAGE Downtown (28 works of art)

A TIMELESS TOUR, FROM THE ORIGINS TO THE 21ST CENTURY Old Port (22 works of art)

LUSH GREENERY Parc Jean-Drapeau (11 works of art)

The tours can be adapted to suit different interests and the time available for certain types of facilities. Each of the five tours is associated with a museum, which allows art lovers to combine urban exploration with a visit to a museum.

Different ways of doing the toursOn foot, by bike, on a BIXI, or on public transit, are all great ways to discover these artistic treasures.

STEPPING INTO MONTREAL HISTORY

Montréal shorelines are not only great places to relax and enjoy a summer water activity; they also speak volumes about the origins and development of the city.

The Parcours riverain is a 180-km historic waterfront route that enables visitors to discover a little-known heritage. Whether along the St. Lawrence River, lac Saint-Louis, rivière des Prairies or lac des Deux-Montagnes, these ancient and winding waterways have wonderful stories to tell.

More than 900 heritage attractionsThe Parcours riverain website (ville.montreal.qc.ca/parcoursriverain) presents heritage attractions by placing them in their historical context. It also lists heritage destinations suitable for a discovery walk.

The historical “half-time”The Amerindians farmed the land but also engaged in hunting, fishing and gathering. A site like Montréal, with its shorelines and many islands, was a perfect setting for such activities. As well, its location at the confluence of several rivers made it a crossroads for trade between different peoples.

Because the Lachine Rapids required a stop for the portage of boats and merchandise, Montréal became an important gathering and trading point.

The interactive map available on the website enables you to build a customized itinerary. It provides access to archival images and descriptive texts to learn a little more about our history.

44 À NOUS MONTRÉAL

MONTRÉAL HAS A GREEN THUMB!Without the contributions of its citizens, the greening of Montréal would be impossible. Every day, small gestures are made and ingenious initiatives are undertaken to make Montréal greener, healthier and more environmentally friendly. Whether through gardening, the greening of neighborhoods, composting, community clean-ups or simply the conscientious application of the principles of recycling, Montrealers are engaging in a comprehensive approach to improving their environment.

MOVING? RENOVATING? THINK ABOUT THE ECOCENTRES!

To avoid filling landfills with materials that can be recovered or items that can still be used, Montréal offers its citizens seven recycling facilities (ecocentres).

You can bring to these facilities:

Electrical appliances

Bulky upholstered items

Recyclable material

Used tires

Construction, renovation or demolition waste

Domestic hazardous waste (batteries, paint, etc.)

Green waste

Electronics (computers, DVD players, etc.)

Objects and clothing that can be reused

Do you have items to give away? Each ecocentre has a reusecentreopenfromApril15toOctober14toreceiveyour goods. There is also a bell-shaped bin to leave clothes, toys, etc. throughout the year.

The ecocentres are open on July 1.

For more information: ville.montreal.qc.ca/ecocentres.

Don’t throw it away – give it away!In addition to receiving your objects at its ecocentres, Montréal publishes the Reuse Centre Address Directory. This tool allows you to find out where to bring objects to give away and identifies places for finding used treasures or materials for a project. Download the user-friendly directory to find addresses near you: ville.montreal.qc.ca/reemploi.

À NOUS MONTRÉAL 45

TO ADD TO YOUR BOOKMARKS

ville.montreal.qc.ca/environnement

Do you need advice on gardening, pesticides or composting? Do you want to know the quality of the air or water bodies in the metropolitan area? You‘ll find a tool box with lots of information. Feel free to download the documents (several in English) to help you develop simple and environmentally sound practices!

GARDENING… NATURALLY!

Organic gardening is simply maintaining your garden while respecting the environment. To do this, just apply some best practices.

Put the right plant in the right placet

Use more mulch

Properly prune trees and shrubs

Condition the soil with compost

Adopt grasscycling

Collect rain water

A pesticide-free Montréal

The use of pesticides is prohibited outside of buildings in Montréal. However, some products considered to have low toxicity are allowed everywhere and at all times. These are biopesticides, mineral oils or low-impact pesticides. Prohibited products can sometimes be used in exceptional situations, but you must obtain a permit from you borough. For more information: ville.montreal.qc.ca/pesticides.

GrasscyclingGrasscycling involves leaving grass clippings to decompose on site after mowing. They enables the soil to retain moisture and become a natural fertilizer for the roots.

CompostageComposting is a simple and easy way to recycle organic kitchen leftovers and garden waste. It reduces landfill waste and helps lower greenhouse gas emissions. You can practice domestic composting at home or by participating in the collection organized by your borough, if available*.

If you practice home composting, it is essential to use only plant materials in order to prevent odours. In the city, it’s best to use a container or compost bin with lid. A compost bin ca be used in the garden, the backyard or on a balcony, depending on the model. Mature compost can be recognized by its uniform appearance, dark colour, pleasant woodland smell and its beautiful, granular consistency.

To learn about organic material for composting and discover tips and advice, consult the Handy Guide to Home Composting at the following address: ville.montreal.qc.ca/compost.

* Kitchen waste collection will roll out gradually. By 2020, it will be offered throughout the region of Montréal through the establishment of centres for processing organic materials (CTMOs). Currently, more than 100,000 households benefit from this service.

WE VALUE OUR GREEN WASTE!

What is green waste?A material rich in nutrients for the soil, once transformed into compost

Do I have green waste at home?Dead leaves and all dead plants in the flowerbeds, the flower pots and the vegetable garden are green waste.

How should I dispose of it? Just place it in a paper bag on the curb on collection day. If the collection period is over, you can drop it off at the ecocentre nearest you. Collections usually take place in the spring and fall, but continue during the summer in some boroughs. For the dates in your borough: ville.montreal.qc.ca/info-collecte.

Why separate green waste from domestic waste?This helps to divert tonnes of useful materials from landfills. There is potentially 60,000 tonnes of green waste available in Montréal eachyear,theequivalentof7,500garbagetrucks.Wecurrentlycollect 20,000 tonnes per year.

What does Montréal do with all this waste?It turns it into compost and redistributes the compost for free to its citizens twice a year.

BRANCHES OUT!To limit the spread of the emerald ash borer, Montréal is asking people not to put their deciduous tree branches in green waste bags. They must be put in an untied pile at the curb, and you are required to call 311 to arrange a pick-up. To learn more about the emerald ash borer: ville.montreal.qc.ca/agrile.

THIS SUMMER, I’M GOING TO TRY FOLK DANCING!

Dancing outdoors on Mount RoyalOn Mondays and Thursdays starting on June 2, the Association montréalaise des arts et des traditions populaires (AMATP) organises evenings of traditional folk dances at Beaver Lake in Mount Royal Park. These evenings are free and open to both beginners and more advanced dancers. On Mondays, a qualified teacher teaches some twenty different dances, at a pace that accommodates all participants’ learning abilities. Thursday, more experienced dancers can dance to a variety of music and rhythms. No less than sixty dances will be presented, mainly from the Balkans and the Middle East. amatp.org

Traditional music and dance from Québec on the banks of Rivière des PrairiesThe Société pour la promotion de la danse traditionnelle québécoise (SPDTQ) and the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough propose an original way to experience traditional dance and music at parc Beauséjour for ten Sundays this summer. A caller-host will teach different figures, backed by a band that will make their entrance to the park in a parade to attract young and old alike. Citizens can also participate in a dozen singing outings on Rivière des Prairies in a rabaska canoe. espacetrad.org

The diverse summer programs offered by the boroughs will satisfy the naturally curious. For the cultural activities offered near you, visit your borough’s website.

Choosing a cultural activity is a question of what we enjoy. Cultural activities are also opportunities to discover, learn and maybe even develop a new talent. What if summer was an opportunity to discover traditional cultural activities?

AN APPETITE FOR URBAN AGRICULTURE

Urban agriculture contributes to the sustainability of our neighborhoods and gets people actively involved in the greening of their city. It’s more than just a hobby or a question of nutrition; it greatly improves our living environments! Urban agriculture is defined as any practice that enables food production in urban areas. Every year, more than 42% of Montréal’s households grow tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, beans, herbs and many other types of fruits and vegetables. How’s your green thumb?

Sustainable Montréal Withthe2010-2015MontréalCommunitySustainableDevelopment Plan, Montréal confirms its commitment to make sustainable development the foundation on which to build the city. This plan includes strategies to improve the quality of life of Montrealers. Urban agriculture is clearly part of these strategies.

A variety of services are availableMontréal supports urban agriculture in many ways. The most well-known program is undoubtedly community gardens,with97gardensthatwelcomemorethan12,000gardeners. There are also various publications to help urban farmers to adopt environmentally friendly practices, including the Pesticide-free Gardening ... Naturally guide. And that’s not counting Space for Life’s Green Pages, a must for any amateur or seasoned gardener!

Listening to what young people have to say To help young people take ownership of their environment and the public space, Montréal has implemented the Stratégie Jeunesse 2013-2017. It proposes several initiatives, some of which are related to urban agriculture. This is proof that young people have a role and interest in the field!
