Hello Families,

I hope you took the time this weekend to clean out and install your air conditionner, as summer is definitively here 🥵 Living downtown is often associated with ‘heat islands’, hot zones due to high concentration of concrete and lack of green spaces. Several mist installations are coming to the neighborhood shortly, so you can cool down while enjoying the coming outdoor summer activities 💦

Quick reminder: the new murale project in Peter-McGill still needs a few budding artists to contribute. The deadline to send your drawings of ‘secret gardens’ is now Thursday June 10. You can find the details here or contact us for more information. Printed ‘wall’ templates for your drawings will be available Tuesday June 8 at the Innovation-Youth library (2205 Tupper street) from 4pm to 6pm.
