I believe that Greenfield Park has a proud history that involves every citizen, regardless of their language or culture. It was Greenfield Park, not Longueuil, that had the greatest number of recruits in relation to the town's total population than any other Canadian community during both World Wars, a fact noted and commended by Prime Minister MacKenzie King and Defense Minister Ralston. My father and four of his brothers were members of the Armed Forces, and my father, along with three of his brothers, saw active duty and proudly served Canada, and their home town of Greenfield Park. Many other citizens of Greenfield Park have proudly represented our town in a number of professions, as well as in sport, the arts and entertainment. Every one of us want to be identified with our wonderful home town, and we would like visitors to know and recognize on sight that the town which we are so proud to call our home is Greenfield Park. I respectfully ask those in authority to restore the signage that identifies our home as Greenfield Park. Thank you/Merci.

Hello,
 
On Jan.19th, 2016, I will present the petition requesting that the City of Longueuil put back the names of Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park on our public signs where they have been removed  at Longueuil City Council during question period.

To date, we have about 1400 signatures including electronic and paper versions.

Thank you to each and every one of you for your support.

 

 

Together we have more power and impact

For a greater impact, I am recruiting citizens who would be willing to go to the meeting  but also some citizens who would be willing to go up to the microphone to ask a strategic question or make a comment in relation to how this city is erasing our visual identity. 

 

If you are willing to come to the meeting and-or if you would be willing to be one of the 15 plus people who will be going up to the microphone to speak, kindly contact me at:    by text or phone :  438-931-9950   or by facebook (Brian Peddar in Saint-Hubert) or by email :   peddaratvideotron.ca     (at = the email symbol which this site does not allow me to use on this page)

Kindly leave your name and email address and-or phone number where I can reach you. 

 

Thank you,

 

Brian Peddar
