Participatory Budget of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce 2024

On May 22, there will be a day of collaborative workshops to turn ideas into projects. A unique opportunity to work and exchange ideas with your neighbors and our Borough teams on the improvements that concern your neighbourhood.

Through these discussions between organizations, the public and Borough employees, the aim is to work on the 385 ideas received. These exchanges will help :

1. clarify certain citizen proposals
2. merge similar ideas
3. gain a better understanding of a project's realization possibilities from your borough's perspective

When and where?

Wednesday, May 22 at CDN-NDG Bureau Accès Montréal (RDC, 5160 boulevard Décarie)

• Time slot 2 to 4 p.m.

The first step in the PB, from March to April, is aimed at gathering ideas spanning a diversity of perspectives from borough residents and organisations, for high-benefit projects that will promote greater well-being in our neighbourhoods.

What inspires you? What would you do differently?

It's up to you to propose the idea which you think could improve well-being in CDN-NDG!

The different ways to participate to Step 1:

• By attending the participatory workshops on April 27
• Through the Making Montreal platform (closed since April 14)
• By hosting your own workshop in your community, using the BP downloadable hosting kit (closed since April 14)
• In one of our collection points : libraries and arts centers, sport centers, arenas and in the Accès Montréal Office (closed since April 14)

The ideas generated during the 1st step will be reviewed and grouped together during the Collaboration step so that they can be transformed into projects. The projects will then be perfected and finalised prior to the collective choice. Every step of the way will be participatory, so meet us all year long, online and in person in the workshops!

The Participatory Budget (PB) is a process whereby residents of a locality are given the power to decide on the use of part of a public budget, by gathering to discuss, create and select projects aimed at improving their quality of life.

For its second Participatory Budget, Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce invites residents and business owners to draw on their expertise to co-create and choose projects for improving well-being in the borough’s neighbourhoods.

The chosen projects will be implemented within 2 years of the popular vote held in October 2024.

The third edition of the Participatory Budget will take place in 2025. The borough intends to make the Participatory Budget – an innovative public participation process – a highly anticipated and galvanizing annual initiative for all people who live or have a shop in the borough.
