Together for our parks

City parks provide priceless green space for citizens living in metropolitan areas. In these challenging times, not only do they offer a place to relax and renew with nature, they are essential to our health and well-being.

Today, local park groups, sports clubs and public interest organizations are joining together to appeal to all Montrealers:

Published: 9 April 2020
If we want to keep our parks open in the coming weeks, we have a collective responsibility to seize now.

We thus are joining our voices to those of the municipal authorities and the Government of Quebec in a bid to mobilize Montrealers of all ages in favour of responsible park visitation:

  • Choose neighbourhood parks to avoid nonessential travel and to stop converging in the same urban green spaces
  • Always respect social distancing measures prescribed by public health authorities: avoid gatherings and maintain a minimum distance of 2 metres with other park visitors
  • If a park is too busy, be flexible and change your plans.

Let’s think collectively: One for all and all for one!

By acting together, we know we can make a difference! Share this message so that we can help maintain access to parks.
