Tonight I presented the Green Party of Quebec's position against a mega real-estate project located on one of the island of Montreal's largest green spaces in Pierrefonds Ouest.

I am in Quebec superior court today in support of the Green Coalition and the Sierra Club Quebec's injunction request to protect the "Technoparc" wetland; a habitat critical to the survival of several endangered species of birds. In this case, the government of Quebec, the city of Montreal and the...

Just returned from the Saint-Laurent municipal council meeting where several environmental groups including the Sierra Club and the Green Coalition gathered to ask questions and pressure Mayor Alain Desousa to protect the TechnoPark wetland, home to several endangered species.
