The Espace+Village Community Complex in Montreal will become the first French-speaking 2SLGBTQI+ community centre in North America, featuring modern, inclusive, and multipurpose spaces, thanks to a joint investment of nearly $12 million from the federal government through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) program, the Government of Quebec through the Mesure d’aide financière pour l’Est de Montréal et le Quartier latin and the City of Montreal.
