For 15 years, Le Messager has faced the threat of demolition. This project envisions a narrative shift through political change and cannabis legalization, furthermore integrating marginalized communities and the youth of Le Miral, into the broader economy and society. With the founding of a Zone Franche Urbaine in the area of La Reynerie and a diverse program for Le Messager, new pathways for economic empowerment, social reintegration, inclusion and a strong community are being proposed.
