YOUTH COUNCIL: Twelve young citizens propose projects
based on the planning program

At a special session held in the Council Chamber at Pointe-Claire City Hall on Monday, April 15, twelve young people took part in the Youth Council by presenting three creative projects for their city.

Like the City Council, students from Clearpoint Elementary took their seats as mayor, councillors, general manager and planner, and city clerk. The young people presented their perspectives on subjects that affect them directly, with a particular focus on the City’s development vision as proposed by the current planning review exercise.

The young people discussed and adopted the following projects:

Develop larger green spaces in Pointe-Claire to provide a green environment for all citizens. Establishing vertical forests, such as green spaces on the roof of a building, would provide insulation, reduce heating costs for the building and increase oxygen for the environment.

Offer a healthier, more accessible living environment through unique infrastructures and sports activities! By making sidewalks and buildings wheelchair-accessible, the City would have the opportunity to organize free activities for all ages and abilities. This initiative would enable us to serve a wider range of the population.

Make Pointe-Claire a welcoming city by developing strategies and activities to showcase local businesses and the culture of the various local communities.
