100 Anniversary for Jane’s Walks
Jane’s Walks also celebrate their centenary this weekend. There are tons of walks happening in Montreal, including one in Lachine East on Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. (735 rue Notre-Dame at the corner of 7th Avenue au Regroupement de Lachine), one on the St. Jacques Escarpment (Falaise) Saturday morning (cyclists depart from Metro Angrignon at 10 while hikers depart from Vendome Metro or they can meet at the corner of Madison/St-Jacques at 11 a.m.) and two in Verdun (the Friday evening waterfront walk by Marie-Andrée Mauger is full, but the 10:30 a.m. Saturday walk through the Nun’s Island Forest by Nina Gould still has space.)
Other stories about Montreal
Other stories I noticed this week include:
Montreal to spend $531 million in 2016
Childcare story at Montreal and Verdun borough councils (note: I also did a story about this for the Suburban)
Pearson Schools to be upgraded
