In the wake of the mini-ice storm, which has sparked many reflections and debates on the importance of building collective resilience in the face of climate change, particularly for the most vulnerable populations, the members of Transition en Commun met for a new day, this time hosted in the Hochelaga district.
Neighbourhood visit – A look at the issues and initiatives of Transition in the neighbourhood
Departing from the Maisonneuve Market, we toured the neighbourhood as part of a tour co-led by two committed citizens in the form of a walk punctuated by several stops, short presentations by the MHM borough and neighbourhood stakeholders. Several realities of the neighbourhood in connection with the socio-ecological transition were highlighted: residential/industrial cohabitation, citizen mobilization, land use planning, greening, mobility, adaptation, food security, public-community partnership, territorial and socio-economic disparities, etc. A big thank you to those who carry the transition in Hochelaga on a daily basis and welcomed us to help us discover their neighborhood: Mobilization Citoyenne 660 Parc Nature MHM, Borough MHM, Urban Trails, Hochelaga Library, Chic Resto Pop, Pirate Vert, Locomotion, etc.
Steering Committee
In the afternoon, it was at the Chic Resto Pop that the members of the steering committee met for this second meeting of 2023. A pivotal meeting in the evolution of the alliance which paves the way for the coming months since the meeting made it possible to validate the constitution and mandates of several bodies, committees and working groups bringing together the members of TeC on themes deemed to be priorities. Stay tuned for announcements in the coming weeks.
Thank you to Chic Resto Pop and the MHM borough for their welcome!
