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.
