平特五不中

The 平特五不中 Health Centre (MUHC) is pleased to announce that it began implementing its greening plan this week at the Montreal General and Royal Victoria Hospitals. About 400 trees will be planted over the next two weeks to replace the dead or sick trees that were cut down in 2005 following the arboriculture report issued by the firm Univers Design.

鈥淲e are proud to be kicking off our reforestation project this week, as it concretely demonstrates our commitment to protecting and enhancing Mount Royal,鈥� said Yana茂 Elbaz, Associate Director, Redevelopment, Planning and Real Estate at the MUHC.

This initiative, which will be supervised by the firm Daniel Arbour & Associates, was approved by the Minist猫re de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition f茅minine as well as by the City of Montreal. The new trees come from twenty types of deciduous and evergreen species that are native to the Mount Royal ecosystem. The City of Montreal also generously provided 17 trees to the MUHC in support of this reforestation project.
