	Cybercommunes - Office de tourisme de Verdun - English
		As an important tourist attraction, the whole region has specialised in good camping, fishing, activities related to the river and pleasant country walks, to which is added the unique and peaceful atmosphere of the countryside.
		In the 16th century, when logs were floating down the rivers, hundreds of inhabitants of the little city lived from this trade and others activities related to the river; they cooked this now famous dish: ''la Pôchouse''.
		Fishing is one of the strong points of Verdun, from the banks or from a boat, by keen fishermen or as a distraction for the whole family; it offers highly beneficial conditions as three rivers, all of second category, mix happily their waters: the Saône, the Doubs and a bit further, the Dheune.

	Purley, London - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Kenley Aerodrome, to the east of the town, nowadays home to a gliding club, was one of the most important fighter stations - together with Croydon Airport and Biggin Hill - during World War II.
		Since the north of Croydon tends to return a majority of Labour Party councillors who form a majority on the council — although Croydon Central has in the 2005 General Elections also returned a Conservative MP by the narrowest of margins of 75 votes — the two halves of the borough are often at loggerheads.
		Consequently, there is a strong will within Purley to leave the borough and return to independent district status which would mean planning decisions (the most controversial issue) would be made by local citizens.

	Le Messager Verdun > News in English > The Verdun borough won't be levying any special tax in 2007
		The Verdun Borough will therefore be receiving exactly the same allowance as in 2006-or nearly $32 million-whereas its spending will exceed this allowance by approximately $2.5 million.
		The discrepancy between the budget allowance and the borough's needs may be explained, in particular, by the substantial increase in spending associated with garbage collections and transportation, by the rise in system costs and by a shortfall in receivables in the Development Fund.
		Nonetheless, the borough is planning on pursuing the implementation of its strategic development plan adopted in 2005.

		Some of the 18 boroughs that responded, like St. Léonard, Montreal North and South-West, returned completed surveys in a day or two.

	Mainland Verdun, Nuns' Island are an electoral odd couple (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		About 15,000 of Verdun's 64,000 residents live on Nuns' Island - an affluent white-collar community where the average annual household income is $100,940, according to 2001 census figures, and unemployment stands at a mere 4.3 per cent.
		Philippe Lalonde, Vision Montreal's candidate for the borough mayoralty, has said he would restrict future condo towers to six floors and revisit the urban plan, which residents say was approved without their input and doesn't adequately protect green spaces.
		Condo development is also on the electoral agenda in mainland Verdun, where 338 new condo units have been built since 2001, vs. 18 rental and 63 co-op units in roughly the same period, according to the Comite d'action des citoyennes et citoyens de Verdun, a local housing group.

	Immutably Me: Verdun Blaze for the New Year (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		There isn't a building or house in Verdun that wouldn't reveal charred timber if you were to peel back some layers, so when I woke up this morning to hear the news anchor say there was a major blaze in a nearby Verdun duplex, I got a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.
		I'm sure most other Verdun natives that heard the news shared that sinking feeling because when you live here you get a very good understanding of how feudal Japanese villagers felt at the prospect of a wayward spark entering their wood and paper houses.
		As bad as Verdun can be, there are some really gorgeous spots if you know where to look and sadly this fire was right infront one of our most beautiful bike paths and parks in Montreal.

	Atlantic Highlands Herald - February 17, 2005
		Verdun – the ghastly World War I battle that once resonated like a gong of doom in the consciousness of every schoolboy, but now is familiar to few – had far-reaching effects that are barely recalled or understood today.
		The Battle of Verdun was conceived in late 1915 by German commander-in-chief General Erich von Falkenhayn as a strategy to remove France from the War.
		Verdun was an ancient capital of France and the military key to the Champagne Plain (and thus to Paris itself).

		In July 1955, Jean-Marie Bressand, by now Secretary General of Le Monde Bilingue, wrote to Gosport Borough Council pointing out that 18 British towns had already established twinning links and asking that the aims of twinning be placed before the Council's appropriate committee.
		Two years later on May 27, 1957 - Gosport Borough Council through its Town Clerk, Captain Edward Addenbrooke, wrote to M. BresandÂ requesting further information and stating that Councillors were most keen that any "twin" should be about the same size, and have the same interests, as Gosport.
		Without hesitation, Gosport Councillors fell in with the suggestion and on November 10, 1958, unanimously approved that all the necessary steps should be taken for the twinning of the two towns.
