MONTREAL – Focus Montreal introduces Montrealers to people who are shaping our community, bringing their stories into focus.
It airs on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. and at midnight.
Take a look at who we’re meeting this week on Focus Montreal:
Angelike Falbo was a bundle of nerves during her live audition on La Voix in early January.
The 16-year-old Laurier Macdonald high school student finally got Isabelle Boulay to turn her chair around after a gut-wrenching two minutes.
The teen with the powerful voice shocked coaches and audiences each week as she continually came up on top – despite competing against older, more seasoned singers.
Since taping this interview for Focus Montreal, Falbo has made it to the finals.
The balanced provincial budget means tough choices for Montreal school boards.
The Lester B Pearson school board has just officially kicked off consultations for a major school change initiative.
The board is taking a look at certain schools that have a dwindling number of students.
Groups have until the end of October to submit briefs for public consultation, which will start in November.
Suanne Stein Day, the Lester B Pearson school board’s chairperson says she’s not ruling out school closures.
5,000 Irish dancers from around the globe gathered in Montreal for the 45th World Irish Dancing Championships.
According to Bernadette and Marie Short from the Bernadette Short school of Irish Dance, traditional Irish dancing is about much more than appearance – most of the competitors train as world class athletes.
