Le Patro Le Prv̌ost 80 Years Later

Obomsawin, Alanis, (film director.). Obomsawin, Alanis, (film producer.). Neale, Colin, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: Alanis Obomsawin turns her lens to Le Patro Le Prv̌ost, a recreational centre in the Villeray quarter of Montreal. On the eve of its 80th anniversary in 1989, Le Patro is a vital focal point in the predominantly working-class neighbourhood. Beloved by the many generations who use the facilities and partake in activities daily, Le Patro encourages a strong sense of togetherness through principles of cooperation, respect and sharing. Obomsawin presents a tender portrait of a neighbourhood of diverse residents and the community centre many of them consider a second home.
