. - david-alexandre has lived in rosemont for many years.ay, this social worker, doubling as a forestry worker, rode his bike through this concrete alleyway along a derelict community garden in one of the poorest and most challenged parts of the neighborhood. he decided it was time for change. and when this guy, aka the powerhouse, puts his mind to it, things get changed. who can we contact at the city and the borough to help us to use this land in a place where there are so many needs? that's when mikael and lande came in. where we're standing right now, it's a back alley. it's owned by the city of montreal. - things were a bit complicated, but when there's a will, of course, there's a way. let me wrap my brain around this. the land is owned by a supermarket. well, except for a tiny piece owned by the city, preventing any possibility of expanding the store. the city's been renting the whole plot for years to host the community garden, but the city officials didn't even realize they were also renting all the abandoned space around the garden
