Montreal Police: Immigration

Immigrant Youth Dept: Members of Mener Autrement Lead Differently , a volunteer-run sports club of about 215 children and youth from a multitude of ethnic backgrounds that include Haitian, Arab, African and Latino, will march through the streets of Montreal North on Saturday, according to Montreal Gazette. The neighbourhood march - which is being billed as the first in a series of 10 such events - is expected to last two hours and make a stop at Montreal North's city hall building on Charleroi St. Relations between the youth club and borough officials have been strained for years and a club that provides free sports and educational activities to disaffected, poor and immigrant youth in Montreal North is demanding local authorities provide it with better indoor soccer equipment and a bigger gym. Parents, children and organizers of the club with which local youth Fredy Villanueva played soccer occasionally before he was shot in August 2008 by a Montreal police officer, are expected to gather at noon at the Culture and Community Centre at 12004 Rolland Blvd. As reported in the news.
