WELCOME to GRIFFINTOWNDOC
A web site for the documentary
Since completion there has been seventeen showings for over 1600 people and two broadcasts on CFCF
and the reactions have been very POSITIVE.
Even people with no previous knowledge of the neighbourhood were coming out smiling.
Over 400 people have bought a copy of documentary.
There are no planned screenings as of yet but open to invitations from organizations.

There is also a collection of the GRIFF NEWS (19 issues, courtesy of Gerald Harkin).
This was a newsletter sent from the Griffintown Boys and Girls Club to the boys overseas during World War II.
A great insight into the views and concerns of Griffintowners during that era.
