http:\/\/tdslasalle.org<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\nThe project links the round table with LaSalle borough administrators, Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi de LaSalle, \u00c9cole Cavelier-De LaSalle, H\u00e9ritage Laurentien\u00a0and Nutri-Centre LaSalle.<\/p>\n
It will receive $130,000 over three years to increase the use of active transportation and encourage urban agriculture, particularly among impoverished and vulnerable groups in the borough.<\/p>\n
The Quartier 21 project is jointly funded by the Public Health Agency of Quebec and the City of Montreal to encourage sustainable development. Its name comes from the implementation plan developed in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio. rojects in Mercier\u2500Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Rivi\u00e8re-des-Prairies\u2500Pointe-aux-Trembles et Ville de Montr\u00e9al Est and Plateau Mont Royal will also receive funding during the same period.<\/p>\n
Project funding will occur in three phases: $30,000 for the first year and $50,000 for the two following years.<\/p>\n
Vall\u00e9e says that those amounts won\u2019t be the only investment from the LaSalle community. The group has already attracted additional funding from the borough of LaSalle, the Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys, Qu\u00e9bec en forme<\/em>, SOVERDI and the Table d’action et de concertation en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 urbaine de LaSalle. They also hope to attract commercial funding from local business.<\/p>\nDuring the first phase, the group plans to promote walking and cycling in the borough by placing more bicycle stands in schools, on municipal grounds and next to popular commercial retailers. The urban agriculture portion of the project includes the planting of at least 30 trees per year plus the promotion of gardens and other agricultural projects at schools and in housing projects.<\/p>\n
Phase two will identify necessary improvements to the infrastructure as well as developing informational posters next to popular tourist spots near cycling paths and sidewalks. They also plan to create a local map to identify important cycling and pedestrian landmarks.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re also planning to establish a community garden next to the Centre d\u2019h\u00e9bergement de LaSalle<\/em> in conjunction with the Dorval-Lachine-LaSalle CSSS.<\/p>\n\u201cIn addition to providing healthy local food, that project will encourage intercultural and inter-generational exchange,\u201d says Vall\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
