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:
Quebec’s latest viral sensation is 12-year-old Cory Palfalvi
Hearts broke all over the city this week as the Habs ended their playoff run on Tuesday — but not before one 12-year-old Montrealer’s inspirational video for his team went viral.
Cory Palfalvi recorded a cover of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin” in honour of his Habs.
It was the theme of their second-round series after the team dropped three games to nothing to the Lightning, then came back strong in games 4 and 5.
Sadly the Habs are out, but Cory is still believing.

Feeding NDG on backyard at a time with Cycle AlimenTerre
Cycle AlimenTerre is made up of four roommates, who have created an affordable and healthy produce alternative to box stores or expensive markets. It’s a neighbourhood initiative where they farm local, naturally grown vegetables in people’s underused backyards and distribute the produce by bicycle market.
Max Godber who came up with the idea for this project early in 2014, and Iman Kimanhailat volunteer coordinator for Cycle AlimenTerre, talk about this simple idea which is also pure genius.
