During the recent crisis, we have all felt the increased importance of “togetherness.” Despite the distance, we have found ways to help and support each other from one end of Greater Montreal to the other, because our great social fabric was already tightly woven.

This spoken word piece is a message of love to the people of Greater Montreal. It is an ode to the resilient and engaged communities in our cities, towns and neighbourhoods. It relates our story of struggle and hope to reduce inequality.
