We all want to get fit and do good- so why not do both with the Montreal SPCA?
The Montreal SPCA Emergency Shelter need volunteers to walk their lovable dogs! Get fresh air, burn some calories and have some fun with a dog that will be ever so happy to see you!
If you’re not up for walking around in the cold there are some other tasks you could help out with. Some of the tasks include socializing, feeding, cleaning cages, and just giving the dogs tons of love!
The shelter is located at 7314 Mountain Sights (a 5-minute walk from Namur Metro) and is open from 9:00 to 20:00, 7 days/week.
For your first time, just show up and ask for the Supervisor.
Come help our dogs… it’s a beautiful feeling!
The Montreal SPCA Emergency Shelter rehabilitates and finds
permanent homes for large groups of animals that have come from
a single place: generally a puppy mill or hoarding situation.

Cook has begun the second phase of his most personal tour, “Isolate INcident.” Even though he has performed this act across the USA and Canada he still goes all out for every performance and each audience. His energy comes from the fact that this man truly loves what he does and he genuinely appreciates and respects his fans.

Among his many accomplishments as a stand-up comedian, Cook was named Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Hot Comic,” Stuff Magazine’s “Coolest Comic of the Year” and is the winner of Comedy Central’s “Stand-Up Showdown.”

From the metal loving city of Montreal comes one of the most killer riff machines this side of the 3 headed love child of Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy and Fu Manchu. Barn Burner have been cruising around Canada over the past few years spreading their love of the riff, good times and are ready to spread their beard encrusted rock to the rest of the world.
“It’s a total honor to be working with such a ruling label; it is one of those crucial goals that you strive for as a band. May our filthy beards and hair grow long together over the years and continue to put out crushing albums!” - Kevin Keegan, Barn Burner
Metal Blade Records will be giving their debut album, Bangers, its official world wide release in 2010. The album has already received tons of praise from press from Canada to the UK from the album’s original release via New Romance for Kids Records.
“Up tempo stoner rock like a cross between The Atomic Bitchwax, Fu Manchu and The Fucking Champs…excellent musicianship” Terrorizer Magazine
“If Steve Harris [yes, Iron Maiden’s own] moved to Montreal and started eating poutine and joined Corrosion of Conformity I’d imagine it would sound a lot like this. It hasn’t left my constant rotation for weeks, and I presume it is there to stay.” AbsoluteUnderground.ca
“Montreal’s Barn Burner is one of the most impressive Sabbath-inspired bands we’ve heard in a long time. The band’s newest offering, Bangers (New Romance for Kids), is pure stoney mayhem. Comprised of heavy, minimal riffs, driving drums and major solos, this album will satiate any metal head’s yearning for primal rock.” ChronicYouth.com
Their debut record, Bangers, will be given its worldwide debut in early 2010. Keep your eyes peeled for tour dates to follow!
Barn Burner is:
Kevin Keegan - Guitar/Vocals

Today Marks the Inauguration of Laurentian Bank’s 44 New Automatic Banking Machines in the Montréal Métro
Montréal, October 1, 2009 – Laurentian Bank will be inaugurating its network of automatic banking machines (ABMs) today across most of Montréal’s Métro stations after having obtained the exclusive right to operate the machines throughout the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) subways last June. With a total of 70 machines to be available, this is good news for Métro users, who will be able to take advantage of efficient and fully integrated banking services virtually wherever and whenever they happen to be travelling.
In initiating these new units, Laurentian Bank is confirming its dominant position among banking institutions in Montréal and throughout Québec thanks to its extensive network of branches and automatic banking machines. “As a result of the Bank’s financial solidity since its repositioning a number of years ago, the institution has the wind in its sails and is continuing to grow despite the difficult economic context confronting the banking sector,” underlines Luc Bernard, Executive Vice-President, Personal and SME Financial Services. “Winning this call for tenders demonstrates the confidence the Bank has earned, of which we are extremely proud. For us, the installation of these ABMs in the Métro constitutes an important step in our development and clearly supports the value of our commitment to being close to our clients. Indeed, Laurentian Bank is firmly rooted in Québec, particularly in Montréal — the city in which it was born and to which it owes a major part of its sustained growth and success.”
For his part, STM Chairman, Mr. Michel Labrecque, emphasized that “Laurentian Bank’s ABMs offer Métro users a diverse range of services, while allowing our organization to increase its commercial revenues. Access to banking services within Montréal’s Métro network represents a significant asset to those with busy schedules who are looking for ways to save time.”
In order to spread the word in an interesting and innovative fashion, the Bank will be inaugurating its 44 new automatic banking machines during rush hour at several different Montréal Métro stations using a theatrical approach.
