This place is Olmstead Street in Vanier. A street that has three churches and some houses on both sides. The number of cars parking on both sides of the street on a weekend show that the people of that area have a personal connection with that space. That Street also has a church that offers bilingual services, in Portuguese and English. Consequently, that street for the Portuguese-speaking community is very meaningful. Places are important to me because those are locations that people shared memories in. Those locations that have been or are part of a person’s daily life. Memories have a huge part in the creation of places since places are given different meanings by different people for different reasons.
