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:
A government committee has released a 600-page report with 82 recommendations to update Quebec’s family law and better reflect the reality of increased common-law marriages.
Robert Leckey, a family and constitutional law expert from McGill University explains the importance of a mandatory parental regime to set guidelines for children born during a common-law union, especially following a split.
It’s the 8th edition of the Montreal Folk Festival on the Canal – a family friendly experience that showcases folk, roots and bluegrass music.
Carl Comeau, co-owner of the festival, shares how it has evolved into a five-day event, complete with free outdoor programming and ticketed indoor concerts.
Engineer Martin Roy is a stand-out in his field – he imagined solar powered heats pumps at the Caisse de dépôt in Mauricie, took part in the net zero building of the Varennes library and was awarded the first LEED gold certification in Quebec for the TOHU building.
He is this year’s recipient of the prestigious Green Building Champion Award in Vancouver, which recognizes outstanding contributions to sustainable building practices in Canadian construction.
