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:
TD Park People Grants support local leaders to organize environmental education, sustainability or stewardship events that bring people together across Canada.
The programs offers community members from equity-deserving neighbourhoods training and coaching to help them enhance or transform vacant or underused spaces into public green areas.
