here is a new garden in town. It measures 25,000 square feet and is the 'largest organic supermarket green roof' in Canada. Developed by IGA Extra Famille Duchemin and located in the borough of Saint-Laurent, it is the first supermarket to sell produce grown on its very own roof. Store owners Richard, Daniel, and Francis Duchemin teamed up with urban farmers from La Ligne Verte (Green Line) to bring the innovative project to life. Over 30 different varieties of organic produce, certified by Ecocert Canada will be grown on the supermarket’s roof in-

I was at the store last Saturday and the prices were quite reasonable, considering the produce was organic and had a very low carbon footprint.A box of 'oak' lettuce was $2.79, a bunch of kale and beets were each $3.49 - and they were all very fresh and tasty.

11 Critical home inspection traps to be aware of weeks before listing your home for sale

Photo: IGA

MONTREAL - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help home sellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, visit: www.montrealinspectionpitfalls.com Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn't cost you the sale of your home.

Their goal is to raise $50,000 - with every dollar donated allowing the food banks to distribute $15 worth of food with the ongoing support of their suppliers, including their ingenious 'Food Recovery Program in Supermarkets'. The recovery program redistributes food the supermarkets might have thrown away but is still good for consumption, including meat and substitutes, to participating organizations.

here is this misconception about animation film that it is a genre for kids. Indeed, animation (a.k.a. cartoon movies) is a category of filmmaking almost as old as cinema itself, and since then it has been intended for all audiences. This previous clarification is an important element to have in mind when the 4th edition of Animaze—Montreal's

Gordon, director of Animaze also highlighted another aspect of this year's edition: its humanitarian dimension. "Film is another way to speak to people," said Ms. Gordon about the heroic actions undertaken by Swiss Doctor Marcel Junod, who worked with the Red Cross, and whose work is featured in the animated Japanese movie "Junod" to be screened at the festival on August 19. Josée Payant, spokesperson for the Red Cross also referred to the movie on

Dr. Junod and reminded that "the Red Cross is a symbol of safety and security." Animaze will also have the support of the Golden Square Mile Association since most of the shows will take place in that iconic neighbourhood. Louis Moubarak, on behalf of the Golden Square Mile Association, indicated that his association would be promoting the festival in that area of the city. A scientific dimension will also be present during

this festival, displaying the applications of animation to scientific fields. New technology too will be present at the festival in the form of Virtual Reality, which allows the total immersion in the scenes on the part of the viewer. Hannah Cohen of OSMOS, the Academy of Virtual Reality, and consultant Peter Wilkinson described what the spectator could expect to experience through this new visual technology. The animation fest will also hold a workshop for

producers on August 18 at 11 a.m., a discussion of the work of editorial cartoonist Terry Mosher (Aislin) on August 19 at 6 p.m., and the presentation of "Abina and the Important Men—A Graphic History" on August 20 at 3:30, the last two at the

This great gathering is testament to

the openness and diversity that characterizes Québec, which has drawn people from around the world to our city,” said Martin Coiteux, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Land Occupancy, Minister of Public Security and Minister responsible for the Montréal region. “2017 is a great opportunity to highlight the rich cultures of Indigenous Peoples and to showcase the diversity of our cultural heritage.This diversity makes Canada stronger and is an un-

ending source of creativity. I encourage all Montrealers to come to Nova Stella to celebrate the beautiful cultural mosaic that defines their city’s identity and the talent of First Nations artists,” said the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage. The event is presented in partnership with L’Amitié Nuestroamericana and with the support of the Festival Accès Asie, the Festival du Monde Arabe and the Festival Orientalys.

aroline Codsi is the head behind Women in Governance, also known as La Gouvernance au Feminin, a nonfor-profit organization that supports women in their leadership development, career enhancement and access to board seats.

coming here and saying: are you kidding me? Even here there's things that are unfair. What advice would you give young women entering the corporate world? If they have the ambition to move up the ladder, there's a few things that are not so natural for a woman that they have to start doing now. For instance, women are not very good at asking for a promotion, asking for a raise, negotiating their salary, all these things girls must start doing because it doesn't come easy. Girls need to hang out with boys and men, need to learn from men, who have the real power and influence and play the political game. At the end of the day, we don't expect girls to start loving golf and going to 5 a 7 with all these executives but they need to put themselves out there, they need to get close to the people in power, in charge and demonstrate their willingness to make a difference to the organization.

time I figured I would just do it on the side, that it would fulfill my desire to build something for women in the business world. It became so huge that it took a life of its own. I never imagined that seven years later I would leave my job, and be able to do this full time. What moment in your life made you decide to launch your own business? I think what triggered it is very simple - I was looking for such an organization to support me in my desire to sit on a board and make it to the top, and I couldn't find any strong organization for women at my level. There were a lot of networking events for women who were entrepreneurs, a lot of other events geared towards younger woman but when you're 40 - you already know all that. There was no advice for women who were directors, who wanted to become VP, or above. These women, where do they get their mentoring? So this is how I decided to create it and this is why it got such traction - there was nothing else like it. Is there an age you cater to specifically? Yes. You need to be 35 and above, you have to already be in a managerial position, aspiring to top management. Our objective is to bring women through the glass ceiling, they have to be right below the glass ceiling. It's catered to women in the corporate world. There are some entrepreneurs

we can help out, but mostly women who are in large organizations and even small to medium size businesses. Would you say that there are more women taking on roles of VP/ Executive in larger organizations today than 10, 15 years ago? It's been subtle, although what I think has changed drastically is the mindset and the culture. Where now organizations understand that they have to make an effort and they have to help women reach their goals, not just because it's the ethical thing to do but also because its in their business interest - now they understand. We don't need to prove it anymore that women are a plus in terms of financial performance for the organization in terms of their branding, in terms of their culture - that has changed drastically. A recent survey done for the government had asked the people if we had reached gender equality the response was something like 90% yes. People were shocked to find out that there were only 5% women CEO's, only 15.9% of women sit tingon boards, then how can you talk about equality? What are your future projects for Women in Governance?

The Cultural Heritage of SunYouth: A Living Mosaic!

Nour Utayim is a Syrian refugee who arrived in Quebec five months ago. For her first job in Quebec, she decided to join the large family of Sun Youth as a bike patroller. Photo credit: Joseph Munro.

he cultural landscape of Sun Youth has kept pace with that of the city of Montreal since the founding of the organization in 1954. This story takes place on the Saint-Laurent Boulevard, known then as "The Main". For a long time, this important artery served as the midpoint between the East and West of the city, separating Francophones in the East and Anglophones in the West. In the middle were the immigrant populations, largely from Eastern Europe and especially Jewish people. The latter settled on the outskirts of the Main, first in the South, where Montreal's Chinatown now stands, and then migrated northward, forming the Jewish Quarter of Montreal with Clark Street, Parc Avenue, De l'Esplanade and of course, Saint-Laurent Boulevard as its main axis. The predominant language was Yiddish, which was spoken in the numerous clothing factories bordering the Main, the principal industry of this working-class quarter.

Sun Youth, whose building is currently located in this area, witnessed the demographic changes that followed. The organization was founded by a group of friends, the majority of whom were of Jewish descent. These disadvantaged youth all lived in the neighbourhood, near Clark Street. The difficult economic situation of their parents and the lack of sports and recreation activities available to them locally encouraged them to establish their own social club and to ensure its financing by the creation of a hand-written community newspaper, The "Clark Street Sun". In the middle of the 20th century, many Jews left the neighbourhood, replaced by a strong wave of Portuguese immigration, creating the Portuguese Quarter of Montreal. At the same time, Italian immigrants formed Little Italy a bit farther north of SaintLaurent and Montrealers of Greek origin established businesses along Parc Avenue. These new communities in the vicin-

ity came to enrich the ranks of Sun Youth, the cultural diversity within the members of the organization growing trememdously. Since 1980, the organization is housed in the former Baron-Byng High School building on SaintUrbain Street, between Rachel and Marie-Anne. Then solely known as "The Sun Youth Organization", the organization adopted its French name, "Jeunesse au Soleil", reflecting an increase in immigration from Francophone countries and a the growth of French-speaking populations in Montreal. The organization's staff and volunteers now form a real cultural mosaic with people from North, Center and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa all working together. Whether Jewish, Catholic, Muslim or otherwise, all have a common desire to help others. This diversity and this openness to others represent the city that has become Montreal over the last 375 years.

The Goodness in Grapefruit

By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca

hen I was a little girl, my father performed a weekly morning ‘grapefruit’ ritual for his three girls. My sisters and I would dash into the kitchen, excited to greet our ‘Saturday Morning Chef’. We would hop up onto the three awaiting bar stools, shout our "Good Morning, Daddy", grinning in anticipation. Breakfast was usually an egg event, either scrambled, boiled or ‘egg in the hole’, but the entrée was always preceded by grapefruit. We salivated as we watched our father master the carving of each grapefruit section. He wielded his ‘special’ grapefruit knife, curved just right to section each precious piece. Once this dance was ‘fait a complis’, he would sprinkle the sugar on top, to sweeten the sour. (On Christmas morning, he added a red cherry!). In the early 50’s, the sugar was a little treat, not yet having invaded every food on the market. And as he sectioned, he would share his inexhaustible knowledge

www.mtltimes.ca

of grapefruit. "Botanists believe grapefruit originated from a cross breeding of the orange and the polemo.” This would elicit a chorus of, “What’s a polemo?" Or he would chime. “Always start your day with a good source of Vitamin C. You might choose an apple, an orange or this scrumptious grapefruit.“ Or “Grapefruit helps you digest your breakfast. Get ready for the entrée!” As we got older, we understood that grapefruit did help to de-stress the body, fight infections, clean the liver. I was lucky. Some children grow up in food deserts and do not know a grapefruit. I was lucky because I was able to learn that not only is grapefruit important to eat, it is also important on the skin. But in those days we did not often discuss food consumption and skin consumption. Had my father known, he would have shared some great advice to keep our skin healthy. “Don’t throw out the peel. Tonight, before you go to sleep, add this grapefruit peel to your bath water. Then massage the peel oil onto your skin." Grapefruit essential oil

is distilled from the skin of the grapefruit. On our skin, it acts as an anti-oxidant, anti-septic, anti-inflammatory and disinfectant. Earth to Body has added white grapefruit to several products, including creams and lotions, salves and soaps. The addition of white grapefruit helps rid the skin of excess oils, dryness and blemishes, helping to keep the skin glowing and healthy looking. It is renowned as an anti-aging aid, helping to reduce age spots, fine lines and wrinkles. Canadians are multi-cultural. We are proud to learn from each other. Whether we learn from Greece that avocado is great on the hair, from India that neem is essential to oral health care, or from Barbados that grapefruit oil is a natural disinfectant, we gain an incredible sharing of what the earth has to offer, naturally. We should thank my Dad, our relatives, our ancestors, and our comrades for sharing their lore. White grapefruit link http://www.natural.ca/en/ingredient/white-grapefruit
