The 2023 participatory budget provides an opportunity to address the various needs of families in our neighbourhoods and foster ties with our neighbours so as to generate ideas that hold promise. In the months ahead and through our collective effort, these ideas will be transformed into projects. You will then vote to determine which projects will be implemented. This is a unique opportunity to experience a new form of democracy: participatory democracy.


The different steps of the process invite you to contribute both online (on this page) and in person, through open and creative workshops.

Our objective is to offer collaborative spaces in which needs, ideas and projects can emerge, then develop them together in preparation for the final vote.

Learn more about how the first participatory budget will work by reading the Charter.

    Out of the 140 ideas received from residents at the beginning of the spring, some 51 were merged, re-worked, improved and transformed into projects. During the course of the summer, the projects were reviewed to determine their feasibility and compliance with the Participatory Budget Charter. After review, some 23 projects were still in contention for the final citizen workshop aimed at applying the finishing touches.
