Last night, borough councillors in Verdun met to make decisions for many of Verdun\u2019s upcoming summer projects, including the Verdun family markets that our coop, Cooperative Abondance Urbain Solidaire<\/em><\/a>, will be organizing this summer. (Thank you Verdun.)<\/p>\n

Councillors also approved plans for a new French school in Crawford Park and the conversion of a commercial building on Bannantyne into a residential building. Resident consultations about both of those projects will take place on May 31. I\u2019ll be reporting further in the Suburban just prior to that meeting.<\/p>\n

The grocery store and condo building project at Bannantyne and Godin was pulled for the moment so that the promoter can make some of the changes requested by the community at the consultation about that project.<\/p>\n

The new skate park will be inaugurated twice this year, once with an Empire demonstration on May 22 and then again by the borough on May 27.<\/p>\n

Verdun\u2019s big buy local fair takes place in the Auditorium on May 13 and 14. I\u2019ll be reporting on that in the Suburban next week. Verdun also has its own singing contest underway.<\/p>\n
