Élise Guilbault – Spokesperson Serving as the official spokesperson for Moisson Montréal for a second year has helped me better understand the issues and the impact of food insecurity in Montréal. I was particularly moved by the magnitude of the problem of hunger in our society. All levels of society are affected, from newborns—who face devastating repercussions—to school children, the working poor and seniors. No segment of society is exempt from the impact of food insecurity. Since I believe we can make a difference when we work together, I have decided to continue my hands-on involvement with Moisson Montréal and I invite you to do the same. 03 1 2 3 4 5 6 Board of Directors 7 8 9 10 11 12 1.

    PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT FEBRUARY 2017 PRELIMINARY RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT I FEBRUARY 2017 1 - 11 PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT FEBRUARY 2017 Little Italy Settled by the city’s first Italian immigrants in the 19th century, Montréal’s Little Italy has preserved its charm over the years. Backyards brimming with tomato plants are a common sight in this neighbourhood, where soccer is a way of life and the smell of cappuccino fills the air. Park Extension Park Extension is home to 155 cultural communities. The neighbourhood’s commercial streets form the heart of its true urban villages. Côte-des-Neiges Located near the Université de Montréal campus, where scores of students share the streets with residents of diverse origins, Côte-des-Neiges offers West Island offers an amazing mosaic of cultures. This traditionally anglophone sector of the island takes in the boroughs and reconstituted cities of the West Island. The region offers vast green spaces bordering rivers and lakes, tranquil living environments, and lower urban density compared to the rest of Montréal. Quartier international The Quartier international urban space highlights and promotes the development of Montréal’s international vocation, drawing on a prestigious contemporary cityscape featuring art and urban design. 4 PRELIMINARY4 PRELIMINARY RESILIENCE RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT ASSESSMENT I FEBRUARY I FEBRUARY 2017 2017 Mile-End Mile-End is known for its eclecticism, creative energy and bohemian vibe. The neighbourhood’s urban landscape reflects its multicultural population, which includes Petit Maghreb Hassidic Jews, Greeks, Italians and anglophones. A recent mobilization by merchants in this sector resulted in the creation of Montréal’s first official Maghrebian neighbourhood. It aspires to become a commercial and tourist destination and to serve as a bridge between Maghrebian Montrealers and citizens of other origins.

  • Using Mobile Application Data, Population Size, Accessibility, and Value Judgments in Public Transit Improvements Marie-France Boisvert
    SS-AAEA Journal of Agricultural Economics Using Mobile Application Data, Population Size, Accessibility, and Value Judgments in Public Transit Improvements Marie-France Boisvert USING MOBILE APPLICATION DATA, POPULATION SIZE, ACCESSIBILITY, AND VALUE JUDGMENTS IN PUBLIC TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS MARIE-FRANCE BOISVERT, MCGILL UNIVERSITY Acknowledgements Thanks to Dr. Paul Thomassin for his support and encouragement. Thanks to Sam Vermette at Transit App, without whom this article would not exist. Finally, thanks to Alexandre Grégoire for technical assistance. Abstract In order to maintain transit systems, information about them is needed. This article provides information regarding the absence of correlation between transit use, population density, and accessibility. To this end, mobile application data is used. The data is from an application called Transit App that enables easy navigation within transit systems. In North America, the transportation mode share of the automobile is very high. One consequence of the North American population’s high automobile dependency is high auto travel demand on roads. Concurrently, the ability to build additional infrastructure is limited and, in some cases, impossible. As a result, traffic congestion levels have increased significantly, particularly in the past decade. (Schrank, Eisele, and Lomax 2012). Traffic congestion negatively affects transportation efficiency and also creates negative environmental externalities. As Vukan Vuchic stated in Transportation for Livable Cities: “Unrestricted individual behaviour collides with socially optimal behavior” (1999). One solution to the problem of traffic congestion is to increase the mode share of public transportation. But what can induce urban North American populations to trade their automobiles in favor of public transit? What are the qualities a public transit system must have for a significant proportion of the population to frequent it? One of the ways to approach this question is to investigate where people do and do not use it.

    Hard-working neurons on campus A DRUG MOLECULE CALLED UM One of 2014’s greatest health discoveries bears our university’s initials. A new drug molecule called "UM171," synthesized here on our campus, could save lives around the world. For leukemia patients, a lack of a suitable bone marrow transplant donor often means death. One available option is transplanting stem cells from umbilical cord blood, but an umbilical cord does not contain enough stem cells to treat an adult. The drug Dr. Sauvageau's team developed multiplies these life-saving cells by 17 – an international breakthrough that could revolutionize the treatment of other blood diseases such as myeloma and lymphoma. Dr. Sauvageau was named 2014 Scientist of the Year by Radio-Canada, and Personality of the Year by La Presse in the Science category. EMPLOYER OF CHOICE Work-family balance, a handy sports centre, cultural activities, a daycare, various clinics, and public transportion… between the grandeur of our communal raison d’être - humanity’s quest for knowledge - and the simple pleasure of the stunning sunsets sweeping down Mount Royal, there’s no shortage of reasons why Université de Montréal is an enjoyable place to work. This fact was recognized by Mediacorp Canada, who included Université de Montréal in its list of Montreal’s Top 30 employers for the second year in a row. The University also stood out for its policies that support families, enable flexible work schedules, and facilitate employee career planning. OUR MEDICAL PROGRAM IN THE MAURICIE REGION: 10 YEARS AND COUNTING ! This year’s celebration of the 10th anniversary of our Mauricie campus was an opportunity to reflect on the progress achieved since the project was launched.
