- New farmer's market, MARCHE DULUTH, opening on Sunday June 28 located at 4265 LAVAL AVENUE in the Le Plateau Borough. The new market located on Laval Ave. between MARIE-ANNE and RACHEL. Running North-South Laval Ave. is 4 streets east of St. Laurent and or a few streets west of St. Denis. The farmer's market will be running through out the summer on Sundays. Waddup? Pancake breakfast; Blue Grass Bands and more for the launch day. Follow the SCARE CROWS in the 'hood to find the market. Don't bescared by the scare crows like the Straw Man in the Wizard of OZ foryou are on the Yellow Brick Road to fresh, local produce.
- Montreal unveils new MASTER PLAN for WASTE MANAGEMENT. Can you say 5-year plan? Yeppers. The new twist is a ORGANICS pickup in addition to pickups for RECYCLING and conventional TRASH (but TRASH to be reduced to once / week.) Should be a great option for those without a compost pile or box.
