Les Amis du Parc Meadowbrook held a press conference at 10 am Wednesday November 12. Recent disclosures of secret plans for building on Meadowbrook and Réal Ménard’s private negotiations with the developer Groupe Pacific raise alarm bells for the environment and the democratic process in Montreal. Mr. Ménard is a member of the Executive Committee and is the Responsable du développement durable, de l’environnement, des grands parcs et des espaces verts for the Island of Montreal. As such, he is charged with the protection of green spaces and he should not aid in their destruction.
.Green Coalition members accompanied Mayor Coderre on a hike through Bois de Liesse Nature Park, a forested area the group successfully fought to preserve. Coderre has promised to protect eight percent of Montreal’s natural spaces from development.
