Wikipedia entry on Peace Park (Montreal)

Thanks to Wikipedia user mtl514, PEACE PARK is now apart of Wikipedia, the  free, web-based, collaborative encyclopedia that anyone can edit. The entry covers a brief history of the ‘public place’, the presence of skateboarding in the park, the documentary which is coming in 2010, some good news paper references to back up the information in the entry, a list of the urban events that took place in the park, and some external links. Hopefully, there will soon be a picture of Peace Park.

Frank Lam Blogging about the Park

Since MQC put up the Peace Park website, people send us links to blogs and websites containing Peace Park content. Virginie Plante sent me a link to Montréal’s Frank Lam’s blog, who posted on some nice pictures worth taking a look at of the Studio Skateboards team and some park locals, which he referred to as wild animals.

I don’t feel that Frank had bad intentions calling the locals animals because sometimes some of the lifers at times do act primitively. But, I would like to point out that the Peace Park documentary is geared to create awareness about this group of people that occupy Peace Park. The reason being that they represent a part of society that has important roots in Montréal’s history, and have often been unappreciated and perceived as un-deserving of a place in our society by the average citizen. The video will help elucidate the situation at Peace Park to all groups involved to better understand their “locals”, who are constantly being targeted and having their rights violated, and to find ways to address the needs everyone who interacts with the park.

Charles Rivard Talks Peace Park In SBC Interview

Charles Rivard got an interview in the last issue of SBC. I remember Charles skating at Peace Park back when we used to call him Petit Charles. Then over one winter it seemed like he went form 3f tall to 7f. I couldn’t believe had fast he sprouts. In his short but sweet interview, he talks about growing up skating at Peace. Pick up a copy of  SBC Magazine Fall 2009 to read the rest of his interview.
