Miranda Potts has been involved with community work and social activism for most of her life. She sat in her mother's Mcgill social work classes as a little girl. When asked what entices her to this type of work, she answered, "It is all I know and what I love. Seniors are excellent sources of knowledge and experience from which to learn. Supporting them with their various needs and aiding with enhancing their quality of life is my way of returning gratitude and giving back to the community." http://preventioncdnndg.org/podcast/

Gender equality & addiction. (Marie Camille Côté, Caroline Bergeron).

The Youth From W.O.R.D Part 2. by Karl Thomas & Lynn Worrell

The Dep podcast presents the mini-series 4-part episodes: “The Youth from project W.O.R.D.” W.O.R.D. (Writing Our Rhymes Down) is an in-class and extracurricular hip-hop-based literacy program for high-school-aged students seeking additional learning opportunities in Montreal’s public schools. We have four short interviews for our audience, and this is episode 1. The Youth from project W.O.R.D part 1.

Neil Guilding, better known as Zibz, has been a long-time community worker, musician, poet, photographer, and the collective favourite word to describe him, an artist. In this interview, we go down memory lane, revisit the art scene of Montreal, discuss his influence in the art world and his print in the community sector precisely as the leading figure of Jeunesse 2000. Jeunesse 2000 (J2K) breaks isolation by providing a space for marginalized youth to connect and build community through music, art, and sports programming. J2K creates space for storytelling, skill-building, and for youth to access education pertinent to them outside of a formal educational system. By creating a space by and for young people, J2K attempts to foster solidarity between participants without expectations and empower them in their decision-making, desires, and potential.

Terry Dennis founded Kaya-Pêche in 2018 out of a passion for the outdoors. Originally from the island of Tobago in the West Indies, Terry spent his younger days watching elders commune with the sea. Building bamboo rafts, he and his comrades would also set sail to imitate the region's stronger fishermen & women. “We didn’t grow up wanting to become movie stars or basketball players, we watched those around us maneuver boats and apply fishing techniques that we only hoped to emulate, one day”. Canada might offer a different landscape than the Caribbean, but Dennis is constantly reminded that the outdoors is a broad and uneven space that requires us to adapt. With that, he sees no obstacle. He structures his business to offer adventurers the best experience based on the four seasons Quebec offers us. https://kayapeche.com https://www.instagram.com/kaya_peche/?hl=en http://preventioncdnndg.org/podcast/ https://cje-ndg.com/fr/

The narrative of a man who created his path by giving back to the community with his knowledge, education, and fondness for Yoga.

Theme: sexual harassment and the culture of consent. This three-year, three-phase project focuses on community mobilization and developing a sense of engagement among young people about the culture of consent. The first of the three phases consist of assessing needs (among youth, teachers, non-teachers and community) and developing partnerships with different actors and actresses present in the community.

We had the chance to sit down with Emmanuel Gauchier, founder, and board member of the Centre of Unicura, since 2016. The centre of Unicura gives a unique experience for young girls from the Nunavik region, specifically Puvirnituq, to spend four weeks in a camp where they will explore and learn about their Inuit traditions with the inclusion of non-traditional approaches. A follow-up interview will be taken place with a graduating member of this program who is now pursuing her studies at the collegiate level. Emmanuel worked for the DYP in the Puvirnituq at the beginning of 2013 in the parental evaluation department. This interview and conversation speak on her experience as a black woman working within the indigenous community in Puvirnituq. This conversation covers an essential topic of culture, as Emmanuel talks about the struggles of managing her Haitian ethnicity while working in a Quebec system of approach while addressing an indigenous population. During the interview process, it is essential to understand that these views and discussion topics are viewed from the outside perspective. We do not claim to have a genuine understanding of the indigenous culture perspective. Information on Puvirnituq Located 4 km from Povungnituk Bay, on the north shore of the major river by the same name, this Inuit village is encompassed by an expansive plateau. It is a blend of numberless lakes and rivers, abundant wildlife and delicate arctic plants and flowers. Puvirnituq also beholds every year the migration of the Leaf River caribou herd. Two reasons are generally provided for the uncommon title of this village. The first recounts that many were swept downstream several years ago and drowned when migrating caribou ventured to cross the river. Their remains, it seems, were washed up on shore, where they started to rot, allowing a putrid odour. The other story of the site's name describes how everyone residing in the area was victim to a deadly epidemic. In the end, there was no one left to bury the lifeless remains. When the corpses began to disintegrate, the air was pervaded with a dreadful stench. The whole region, however, is known by a more charming name. Amaamatisivik signifies the place where women breastfeed their babies. According to legend, in this area, the women would constantly breastfeed their babies to restrain them from crying and disrupting the herds of migrating caribou. At the beginning of the 21st century, Puvirnituq is the hub of the Hudson coast. The village's airport is additionally the gateway to more distant communities. https://preventioncdnndg.org/podcast/ Reference: About us. (n.d.).
