These projects total $123,000 out of an overall available budget of $150,000. The remaining $27,000 will be used to improve the projects, as needed, in addition to allowing for possible cost adjustments and, above all, the substantial inflation of materials and work, while the four projects are being carried out.

Implementation of the projects by the borough and follow-up on their progress will be spread out over a two-year period.

LaSalle's second participatory budget process, launched last January, has reached its final stage: the start of the residents' voting period.

What is a participatory budget?

Under the theme "A living environment that reflects your aspirations", the participatory budget process aims to:

• Introduce residents to municipal democratic life.

• Involve residents in improving their living environment by calling on their expertise and creativity.

• Promote social cohesion and a sense of belonging to the community.

A total of $150,000 has been budgeted to carry out innovative and creative civic projects that will make a difference on Borough territory. Nearly one hundred ideas have been received. Following development and analysis, a list of 9 projects is being submitted to LaSalle residents for a vote.

And now it's time to vote!

October 4-30, 2022, anyone living on borough of LaSalle territory who is 12 years of age or older may vote; one vote per person. However, when voting, a resident may select up to 4 projects among the 9 submitted for voting.
