    Little Burgundy and Montreal's Black English-Speaking Community

    Little Burgundy is a neighbourhood in the southwest borough of Montreal, Quebec. It is the historical home of the city’s Black English-speaking, working-class community (see also Black Canadians). Montreal's early Black settlement was comprised mainly of African Americans who lived in the Faubourg (French for "suburb") of St. Antoine — a neighbourhood that is now known as Little Burgundy. The settlement dates to the emergence of the railway companies in the mid- to late 19th century and the era of the Black sleeping car porters.

    Living Shorelines

    Living shorelines, also known as green shorelines, are a form of environmental soft engineering designed to reduce coastal erosion and protect waterfront properties. By planting native grasses, shrubs and other vegetation along the coastline, which act as a natural barrier against harsh waves and storms, living shorelines can absorb the impact and direct it away from eroding soil. In doing so, they also create suitable habitats for birds and various aquatic species. In many cases, they are a viable replacement for hard engineering erosion prevention like seawalls and rip-raps, which can damage the coastline and surrounding ecosystem. In other cases, living shorelines combine hard and soft engineering to better protect against intense climates. With so much versatility in terms of appearance and approach, it can be difficult to define what a true living shoreline looks like. This green infrastructure can be found along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada.
