Supporters of saving Meadowbrook meet in Mtl West

Montrealers are passionate about their green spaces! On Wednesday, March 10, some 150 enthusiastic residents of Montreal West assembled to show their support for the preservation of Meadowbrook. The fight that started 20 years ago is still going strong today thanks in part to the relentless work of local residents and volunteers – but we need to mobilize now more than ever.

To share your time, interest and financial support, send your request to sos.meadowbrook@yahoo.ca.

Our thanks to Patrick Barnard and Patrick Asch for their dynamic presentations. Watch the Pimento Report #19 for more coverage from that meeting.
