Municipal Life

Due to high temperatures, the council meeting originally scheduled to be held outdoors in August has been moved indoors to the Carrefour Notre-Dame. This was the final gathering of our summer outdoor series. The milder weather in June and July allowed us to enjoy meeting with you at parc des Éperviers and then—for the first time—at parc des Mésanges. We hope to repeat this wonderful experience next year.

To improve safety on our roads, particularly around parks and schools, the council has decided to reduce the speed limit to 30 km/h on Boulevard Perrot and Boulevard Don-Quichotte, near Parc des Mésanges. These areas are very busy, especially with children going to the park. Your vigilance is essential. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the speed limit is now 40 km/h on the entire length of Forest Street.

The residential pool safety regulations have sparked much discussion in recent months. You may have questions following the provincial government’s changes to pool closure and locking devices. We encourage you to consult the official application guide or contact our Urban Planning Department inspectors for further clarification.

To kick off the new season, we invite you to join us on September 7, from noon to 4 p.m., at Pointe-du-Moulin Historical Park for the highly anticipated Festival de la Soupe. As every year, several soup makers will share their best recipes in a friendly competition. If you would like to participate, there is still time to register. We can’t wait to taste all the recipes!
