MORE ACCESSIBLE COUNCIL MEETINGS

To encourage inclusion and accessibility, the City has added closed captioning to online and offline broadcasts of Council meetings. Click the CC icon at the bottom of the screen to view the closed captioning, once the broadcast has started. Also, an audio system now lets people with hearing aids follow the proceedings better in the council chamber. Simply ask for it when you arrive for the meeting.

FROM A CAMPAIGN TO A BENCH

With a view to making the municipal electoral campaign greener, last Fall, the City of Pointe-Claire recovered the candidates’ placards to recycle them and transform them. As a result, a new public bench made from recycled material will be installed and benefit the whole community. A plaque will be affixed on the bench to identify it.
