Mobilizing Mackay !
On September 19, Rue Mackay will come alive with a festive and engaging day featuring student associations, community organizations, and members of the Concordia community. Mobilizing Mackay is part of Park(ing) Day, a global event that temporarily transforms parking spaces into parks and social gathering spots to advocate for safer, greener, and more equitable streets.

From 1:00 PM: Public discussions at the 4th Space with community and university leaders sharing their plans and aspirations for the future of Rue Mackay. Learn more about the event on Concordia’s official page: Mobilizing Mackay
