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:
Montreal International Black Film Festival
Academy Award nominated director Spike Lee was honoured with the very first Pioneer Award at the Montreal International Black Film Festival with Habs defenceman P.K. Subban at his side, as requested.
Lee is recognized for revolutionizing modern black cinema, as well as never shying away from politically charged topics like the perplexities of race and identity.
ExposNation
The two men behind ExposNation, Anakin Slayd and Matthew Ross explain why they want to re-engage Montreal’s baseball fan base.
ExposNation is a non-profit organization that promotes Montreal as a viable Major League Baseball (MLB) market in the hopes of reigniting the city’s love affair with the sport.
Transparent healthcare
Only 61.8 per cent of Montrealers currently having access to a regular doctor, making it one of the lowest in the country.
Claude Lemay, from the Canadian Institute for Health Information tells Global News about his organization’s plan to help health providers be more efficient and transparent by making their performance public.
