The Pharmaprix of Ontario Street East, corner De Champlain in Montreal, involved with
Pride Montreal!
(By Globe Gay Magazine)
We recently learned that Mr. Tran-Thang Vu, pharmacist who owns the Village branch, decided to get involved with Pride Montreal as part of an unusual project to provide volunteers with coupons for their meals at the Pharmaprix. The branch does have a ready-to-go section of sandwiches, fruits and vegetables so volunteers can come and pick their meals. This is an initiative and participation in Pride Montreal events that are concrete and it is on behalf of the readers of Gay Globe Magazine that we thank Tran-Thang for this partnership.

Caution!

becomes Atateken!

After years of procrastination, Amherst Street, dedicated to the memory of one of the greatest genocidaires in Quebec’s history, changed its name to Atateken, a Mohawk expression meaning « brothers and sisters » and evokes the rapprochement between the communities. Note that Atateken must pronounce a-da-de-gan!
Watch out for signage changes in Ville-Marie!

Coin Plessis and De Maisonneuve, the Ville-Marie borough decided to change the signage, like that, without notifying the visitors or residents and decided in addition to not to put a notice of new signage, because nothing there forces. Contraventions galore ensue! Thank you Val!
