Over the past few years, the Montreal Park People Network has created a real impulse within Montreal’s French-speaking community, promoting community engagement in urban parks. The program Connecter les ami·es francophones des parcs canadiens [Connecting Francophone Community Park Groups] aims to spread this dynamic among francophone groups and organizations working in parks across Canada.

Coordinated by the Urban Ecology Center*, in partnership with Park People, the program aims to build strong links between community park groups, empower them, promote knowledge sharing and spread these initiatives nationally.

Benefits:

  • Online workshops to explore best practices in community engagement in parks
  • Participation in the Montreal Park People Foruml, for French-speakers located outside Quebec (travel expenses covered)
  • Access to resources and tools for managing events in parks, as part of the Montreal Park People Network

This project is made possible thanks to the financial support of the Government of Quebec, under the Canadian Francophonie support programs.
