The Montreal Regional Public Health Department has the motto “Prevent today, live better tomorrow”.
We can read on its website that “the last episode of extreme heat that occurred in Montreal in 2018 would have resulted in the death of about sixty people”.
Of Project Report For Accessible Parks (on his website):
“Access to a park or a green space contributes significantly to the well-being of the population. Living near a park promotes the practice of physical activity, social contacts and the reduction of stress, which leads to a better and healthier life. In addition to having positive effects on health and well-being, parks have an impact on the environment by improving air quality and reducing urban heat islands. However, not everyone has equal access to a park. »
Recently, Radio-Canada reported that life expectancy in the borough of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is nine years less than the average in Montreal. However, at this time, the administration of the City of Montreal is giving the green light to the destruction of two woodlots of mature trees in this sector. The Public Health Department must condemn this retrograde gesture that is harmful to public health.
