Every Street Has a Story

 


What if we could bring NDG's past and future together through the stories of the people who call it home?

Every street in NDG holds thousands of memories.

Somewhere, an elderly neighbour remembers when the corner grocery store was the gathering place for everyone on the block. Someone else remembers skating on a frozen pond, playing hockey in the street, or meeting the person they would eventually marry.

And younger residents are creating wonderful new memories every day.

What if we began collecting and sharing these stories?

The NDG Living History Project

Imagine children interviewing seniors about their childhoods. Neighbours sharing old photographs. Local schools, libraries and community organizations helping preserve the memories that make our neighbourhood special.

We could create a beautiful collection of stories about NDG — told by the people who have lived them.

But the real magic wouldn't be in the photographs or recordings.

It would be in the friendships formed between generations.

Young people would discover a world they never knew. Older residents would discover that their experiences still matter enormously.

And together, we would develop a deeper appreciation for the extraordinary community we share.

Today's A NuVo World Challenge

Ask someone who has lived in NDG for many years:

"What's one of your favourite memories of this neighbourhood?"

Then listen.

You might hear something fascinating, funny, touching or completely unexpected.

My vision for A NuVo World is a neighbourhood that honours its past, celebrates its present and creates an even more beautiful future.

Because a community becomes richer when its people share not only its streets, but also its stories.

One memory. One conversation. One more beautiful connection.

A NuVo World — Transforming NDG Together

Same Neighbourhood. A Kinder Tomorrow.

Let Go and Let God.

Heaven Right Here on Somerled (and elsewhere!)

Image
There are places on this earth where the veil is thinner, where the air seems to shimmer with something more than oxygen — where Heaven leans in and whispers, I have already begun. I did not always know this. But I began learning it on a mountain with God — December 25 to 31, 2003 — seven days, seven Says, seven revelations burned into my heart like coordinates on a spiritual map. A time when I understood, not theoretically but viscerally, that Heaven was not a far-off prize but a present possibility… a Kingdom that desires to erupt right where we stand , if only we allow ourselves to see. More than twenty years later, that truth still unfolds in front of me in the most unlikely ways. In NDG. On Somerled. Between two storefronts. In the witness of strangers who don't yet know they’re angels. And most recently, in the story of another Montrealer whose quest echoes my own: Ashkan Karbasfrooshan — founder of WatchMojo , architect of Context Is King , and now a surprising figure in th...

From Moneyed to Moneyless

The G3 Limitless Debit Card and the Birth of a NuVo World There are moments in history when humanity doesn’t simply turn a page — it turns a corner. Quietly, almost imperceptibly at first, and yet with the unmistakable gravity of destiny gathering itself for a leap. What we are building through the G3 Limitless Debit Card is precisely such a moment. It is not just a new product. Not simply a tool. Not a financial instrument. It is the hinge on which an entire world will swing open. It is the gateway to a Moneyless Economy , the architecture for a new society, and the first spark of a NuVo world — a world where every life has enough, every person belongs, and every community thrives without the tyranny of currency. And like all revolutions that endure, it begins one community at a time. Phase One: The Endowment — A People Empowered, A Community Transformed Imagine a neighbourhood — NDG, Somerled, Côte-des-Neiges, wherever the Spirit breathes — waking up one morning to discover that ...

Vision for St. Jacques Street - NDG NDG & Montreal   A Heaven-on-Earth Vision Beginning January 1, 2026 Written in Noel’s Pen On January 1, 2026, the calendar does not merely turn a page. It opens a gate. That morning, light falls differently on the world—not because the sun has changed, but because humanity has. A quiet agreement has been reached across the human family: there is enough . Enough creativity. Enough provision. Enough love. Enough God-breathed abundance to end the age of limitation forever. This is the dawn of NuVo World . And it all begins with NDG . NDG: The Seed That Breaks the Ground NDG is not a company. It is a covenant. A living, breathing declaration that human value was never meant to be measured by money, productivity quotas, or survival anxiety. NDG becomes the first proof-of-life for a MoneyLess Society —not the absence of value, but the fulfillment of it. NDG stands as the root system beneath NuVo World. It feeds everything: housing, transportation, ...
