The highlight of the summit on biodiversity and the greening of Montreal, held on April 27 and 28 at the Gelber Centre and hosted by the Conseil Régional Environment Montréal, the City of Montreal and Health and Social Services of Québec, was Mayor Gérald Tremblay’s luncheon address and his signing (along with twenty other local mayors and dignitaries) of the Declaration of the Island of Montreal Community in Favour of Biodiversity and Greening.
Signatories recognized six realities on the Island and hence agreed to eight actions.
