Mapping The Mosaic

Have you been to this site yet? I visited it today, and recommend that you take a minute to look at it, because it holds some interesting stories.

Here is what the press release says -

"This easy-to-use, community-driven site is designed to chart the collected memories of English-speaking communities in the Greater Montreal Area.

Users can share experiences of where their history happened by pinning stories, photos or video to an interactive map of neighbourhoods around Montreal and its suburbs.

No point is too small! Educators, historical and cultural groups, and interested individuals are invited to explore, discover and contribute.

Childhood memories of life on your street? Archival photos of lost buildings? Little-known episodes in the life of a neighbourhood school, place of worship or local hangout? Memories of colourful characters or local sports heroes? The grand achievements of entrepreneurs, artists, or innovators?

Mapping the Mosaic is a “people’s history” that welcomes all these and more".

Visit Mapping the Mosaic to begin telling your favourite Montreal stories!

Hey!

Love your blog!Just wanted to reach out to say a big thank you for what you’ve been publishing lately.

On top of my genealogy, I’ve been using my data from 23andMe and Ancestry to do more with my DNA and gain insights into what is right for me in terms of my health and nutrition. https://ginihealth.app.link/freereports
I was able to upload my data to Gini and get a lot of free reports.
Or just visit https://ginihealth.com

Also their food lens is awesome. You should check it out - search for any food and they tell if it's good for you based on your risks. They encyrypt and deidentify all data and don't share it with third parties - so if you value your privacy, definitely take a looksie.

Keep up the awesome work 🙂
Cheers,
Saqline
