Since January 2021, we have been holding thematic monthly meetings, open to all, with the goal of facilitating and developing citizen involvement and direct democracy in our neighborhoods.

It is our pleasure to announce here the topics of our next few thematic meetings. We will be developing themes that will form the basis for discussion at our next large citizens assembly that will take place in September 2021, before Montreal’s upcoming municipal elections.

Come take part in our meetings!

• Tuesday April 13th – Themed Elderly  (Facebook – Google)

Do you wish to explore other subjects? Join us for a discussion so we can determine together the themes we want to explore.

Every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 5pm, join our Zoom meeting.

All are welcome!

Our assembly took place from Friday, August 28th to Sunday, August 30th where it ended at 5:00 pm. Your participation was there and we were able to make progress on several points of actions that we can all take for the future on the Plateau.

The participants of À nous le Plateau decided to get involved in the following areas:

• degrowth (in French)
• conservation of the Hôtel-Dieu and Royal Victoria sites (in Fr)
• active transportation (in Fr) and heavy truck traffic
• real estate speculation
• the elderly (in Fr)
• housing accessibility
• resilient and sustainable housing
• waste management
• access to water in the public space (i.e. for all)

The conclusions and actions of each workshop will be posted here shortly (see links from the list above).

We would like to thank all our participants, without whom this event would not have been possible!
