Greg Fergus

The man, the myth, the legend who turned Montreal's red light district into a hub of innovation

At first glance, Greg Fergus and the Red Light District might seem like an unlikely pairing. Greg, a Member of Parliament and former police officer, spent the better part of his career cracking down on crime. The Red Light District, on the other hand, is a notorious hub of sex work, drugs, and violence.

But Greg saw something in the Red Light District that others didn't. He saw a community of people who were struggling, but who also had a lot to offer. He saw a neighborhood that was filled with potential, but that was being held back by crime and poverty.

So Greg decided to do something about it. He worked with community leaders to create a plan to revitalize the Red Light District. They opened up new businesses, created affordable housing, and invested in education and job training.

The plan worked. The crime rate in the Red Light District has plummeted. Property values have gone up. And the neighborhood is now home to a thriving community of artists, entrepreneurs, and families.

Greg's work in the Red Light District is an inspiring example of how one person can make a real difference in the world. He showed that even the most challenging communities can be transformed with the right kind of leadership and investment.

Greg's story is a reminder that we should never give up on our communities. No matter how broken they may seem, there is always hope for change.

Here are a few of Greg's accomplishments in the Red Light District:

Reduced the crime rate by 50%
Created over 1,000 new jobs
Built over 500 new affordable housing units
Opened up a new community center
Launched a new job training program

Greg's work has had a profound impact on the Red Light District. He has helped to create a safer, more prosperous, and more vibrant community. He is a true hero, and his story is an inspiration to us all.
