We're talking about the intergenerational Chinese communities of Montréal on this month's In the Motherhood – today at 6 p.m. on CKUT 90.3FM! www.ckut.ca

Bethany Or (also known for doc Être chinois au Québec - un «road movie» / Being Chinese in Québec) sheds light on the gentrification affecting Montréal's Chinatown, a QS politician's recent racist remarks and the response from Quebec's Chinese communities including a rare march organized by the Progressive Chinese of Québec, as well as her own experiences as a POC parent. In Bethany's words: “Montreal's Chinatown is the one place in the world where I feel most connected to my past, to my roots, to myself. My great-grandfather arrived in Montreal's Chinatown 100 years ago, and four generations hence, I bring my two young sons there to help bridge the link with their Chinese heritage. I think many Chinese Montrealers do the same."

On a lighter and briefer note, Robyn walks among the butterflies and gets the biology scoop from a butterfly expert at this spring's Espace pour la vie Butterflies Go Free event. Thanks for listening!

In the Motherhood on CKUT 90.3FM for May 20, 2020. We're talking about climate justice in an unprecedented time, with many of us balancing caring for children with work during a pandemic - yet we're also still concerned about major issues that were happening before the coronavirus pandemic. One of those issues is climate crisis. Today's In the Motherhood show is focused on Montreal's Pour Nos Enfants - For Our Kids Montreal, a group of parents who are working for climate justice and green recovery, including looking at what kind of big change is possible right now. Their most recent call to action is a collective letter to Québec MNAs – you can sign the letter in both English (https://www.forourkids.ca/green_recovery_qc) and French (https://www.forourkids.ca/relance_verte_qc), and give FOK Montreal a follow on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/463037961090602), Twitter (https://twitter.com/ForOurKidsMTL) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/forourkidsmtl/). Thanks for listening to this month's In the Motherhood and CKUT!

In the Motherhood - May 20, 2020 - Pour Nos Enfants For Our Kids Montreal

On the August 19 episode of In the Motherhood on CKUT 90.3FM and on www.ckut.ca, we talk with parents - two of whom are teachers and one a home/unschooling educator-parent - about what we're thinking about the return to school this year and the provincial government's decisions on it, what the past six months have looked like for us, and the hopes and frustrations we're feeling about school whether in person or online, as well as thoughts and information on philosophies of education, community and home/unschooling. Big thanks to Gina, Tracy Rosen and Marilyn Rowe for being part of this candid, timely and compelling conversation.

In the Motherhood - Back-to-school in Montreal 2020 - a conversation

In this episode of In the Motherhood on CKUT 90.3FM, Robyn talks with author Sharon Kirsch about her Montreal-based literary memoir *The Smallest Objective*, which explores our often broken connections to family and memory, intertwining Kirsch's own relationship to her family and their connection to Jewish Montreal history with her heartache and anxiety about her mother who had dementia. 

A relevant topic always, but especially in light of September being World Alzheimer’s Month, asking us to reflect further on how we as a society treat older people, especially those in need of round-the-clock care, and how the pandemic is disproportionally affecting seniors in long-term care homes. Big thanks to Sharon Kirsch for the long-form interview/wide-ranging conversation with us!
