[0:00] - Bienvenue à la séance

[0:01] ordinaire du conseil municipal

[0:02] du 26 février 2024. Welcome to

[0:05] the regular meeting of municipal

[0:07] council of February 26th, 2024.

[0:10] - À chaque quatre mois, à tour

[0:12] de rôle, les conseillers

[0:13] assument le rôle de mairesse

[0:15] suppléante ou bien de maire

[0:17] suppléant. Cette année, de

[0:18] janvier à avril, ceci est mon

[0:21] rôle. In the absence of mayor

[0:23] Bourelle, I have the privilege

[0:25] and the honour of chairing this

[0:27] council meeting as part of my

[0:29] borough Mayor duties. I would

[0:31] like to take a quick moment here

[0:33] to encourage residents to make

[0:34] use of the city's various forms

[0:36] of communication to keep both up

[0:39] to date with City news and to

[0:41] contact the city. Sometimes,

[0:43] people forget how many ways

[0:45] there are to get information,

[0:47] and to drop the city a line.

[0:50] These are namely the

[0:52] Beaconsfield forum weekly email

[0:54] newsletter, the City website,

[0:56] the contact magazine, the info

[0:59] flashes, the city application,

[1:01] the City Facebook page, the

[1:03] Instagram account. And as

[1:05] always, you can write your info

[1:08] at Beaconsfield.ca, for any

[1:10] questions, comments, or

[1:12] concerns. La semaine prochaine

[1:14] étant la semaine dollar l'âge

[1:16] pour beaucoup de nos jeunes

[1:17] résidents et leurs familles,

[1:18] nous vous encourageons à

[1:20] profiter de la programmation

[1:21] spéciale proposé aux centres de

[1:24] loisirs et de bien vous

[1:25] détendre. Aussi, rappelle que

[1:28] les taxes municipales doivent

[1:30] être payer ce vendredi 29

[1:34] février. Moins le fun. Lastly, I

[1:36] would like to underline the

[1:38] passing of two Beaconsfield men

[1:40] that have contributed greatly

[1:43] over the years to our town. John

[1:47] -- they will be missed. Je

[1:48] demande maintenant à notre

[1:50] greffière, Madame

[1:52] Libersan-Laniel, de présenter

[1:53] l'agenda du Conseil. Adoption of

[1:58] the agenda the city of

[2:01] Beaconsfield regular council

[2:02] meeting on February 26th, 2024.

[2:05] >> I propose.

[2:06] >> Seconded.

[2:07] >> All in favour?

[2:16] - Nous allons maintenant passer

[2:18] à la période de questions.

[2:20] Premièrement, les questions

[2:21] reçues par écrit.

[2:27] La première question reçue avait

[2:29] monsieur Michael Nickerson de la

[2:31] rue Chester. Question one, on

[2:35] the subject of wood burning and

[2:38] fireplaces. What measures is

[2:41] Beaconsfield taking to see if

[2:42] citizens are adhering to the new

[2:44] bylaw regarding the above

[2:46] subject? And what results,

[2:48] warnings, and fines have

[2:50] resulted from any such actions,

[2:51] as I have noticed no change yet

[2:54] in that smoky air outside in our

[2:56] neighbourhood and coming through

[2:57] our windows. Maybe the bylaw

[2:59] should be replaced by more

[3:02] stricter common sense, an

[3:04] enforceable one, as the intent

[3:05] is to protect the health of the

[3:07] population, especially the

[3:08] children. Mr. Nicholson, thank

[3:12] you for your question. We have

[3:13] not received any complaints and

[3:15] no infractions have been issued

[3:17] to date. As mentioned in the

[3:19] last council meeting, if you are

[3:21] witnessing in your neighbourhood

[3:22] continuous burning, please do

[3:23] not hesitate to call municipal

[3:26] control and give them the

[3:28] address. The second question

[3:30] received is from Nick all Karato

[3:34] from Saint Andrew. The subject

[3:38] is about rodents -- there are

[3:41] contracts being made for that

[3:43] recreation center for tree

[3:45] planting and for gardening and

[3:47] repair village. There have been

[3:49] issues with that recreation

[3:51] center using rodenticide last

[3:54] year. Outdoor use of rodenticide

[3:57] and traps are illegal. The

[3:59] contractors only use organic

[4:01] pest control and non lethal

[4:03] humane methods of rodent and

[4:07] wildlife management. Thank you,

[4:10] Miss Karato. The contractors

[4:13] must abide by municipal bylaws

[4:15] and provincial regulations. We

[4:19] have also read your comments

[4:21] about municipal trees and that

[4:23] municipal dog park, thank you

[4:25] for your comments. The next

[4:28] question is from Derek pounds of

[4:31] sweet briar regarding item 30.1,

[4:37] the awarding of a mandate

[4:41] 23-SP-184 for professional

[4:43] services, engineers and

[4:45] architects, for the preparation

[4:46] of plans and specifications,

[4:49] relating to the renovation work

[4:51] and upgrading of that

[4:52] Beaconsfield recreation center,

[4:54] to that tender having obtained

[4:55] the best final score CBTEC inc.

[4:57] In the amount of 2 million

[5:02] $207,000, all taxes included. As

[5:07] well -- let's start with that

[5:08] one. The question regarding that

[5:11] item, I will ask our director

[5:14] general to answer please.

[5:15] >> My pleasure, and I saw

[5:18] through your questions, Mister

[5:20] Pounds, we are applying the

[5:22] relation of all of the

[5:23] recreation center, including the

[5:25] pool, the offices, the

[5:27] restrooms, and mainly the

[5:30] architecture and mechanics

[5:32] components, to include two

[5:33] extensions done in three phases.

[5:35] It's a big contract we've been

[5:38] giving out. It should go on for

[5:40] 4 to 5 years. And depending on

[5:43] the planning that we will

[5:45] receive in due time by the

[5:47] contractors, probably the end of

[5:48] this year or next year, we hope.

[5:51] But you should remember, maybe

[5:53] not, but just in case, in

[5:55] September, we had a mandate to

[5:57] apply for a government grant for

[5:59] the program -- -- so we applied

[6:02] to obtain an important amount

[6:03] for that grant, and we haven't

[6:04] received any response yet.

[6:05] Programme d'amélioration des

[6:06] infrastructures plein air

[6:16] Hopefully, we believe we

[6:17] shouldn't receive a response

[6:20] before the summer. But at the

[6:23] end of the day, we will do what

[6:26] it needs. It is desperate for

[6:29] getting some repairs. And

[6:30] hopefully, we shouldn't be

[6:32] renovating the arena this year

[6:34] as well. The other --

[6:39] >> I will just read the next

[6:41] question for the item. So the

[6:44] next question from Mr. Pounds is

[6:47] regarding agenda item 40.2,

[6:51] draft bylaw -- entitled bylaw

[6:54] authorizing a loan of $2,000,333

[6:59] and -- $2,333,040.35, four fees

[7:05] for the preparation of plans and

[7:08] specifications for that

[7:09] renovation work and upgrading of

[7:11] the Beaconsfield recreation

[7:12] center. Mister Pounds's question

[7:15] is if our city needs a loan for

[7:17] the preparation of plants and

[7:19] specifications, how much will be

[7:21] required to borrow later to

[7:24] renovate and upgrade? Please

[7:26] explain why this bylaw is 133 --

[7:33] more than the mandate 23

[7:38] 23-SP-184 Bryce. And I will ask

[7:42] you again to --

[7:44] >> Yes, so for the needs for the

[7:46] long preparation, how much we

[7:49] have to borrow later, we just

[7:51] don't know yet. It will depend

[7:52] on how much we will receive as a

[7:54] grant. As I said, we will

[7:56] receive a substantial amount.

[7:57] It's an important project that's

[7:59] going to take place. And for the

[8:03] difference in the burrowing

[8:05] bylaw for that professional

[8:06] services and the cost of what

[8:09] was mentioned for the contract

[8:10] for the professional services,

[8:12] it is related for consultants.

[8:15] So we have chosen a management

[8:17] method based on the integrated

[8:18] project management team. And we

[8:20] will have a consultant to help

[8:22] us look at this project. It's a

[8:25] model involving planning, and a

[8:26] very strict monitoring of the

[8:28] design and support during that

[8:30] renovation. We are also planning

[8:31] a special council meeting on

[8:33] March 11th for the adoption of

[8:35] the bylaw.

[8:37] >> Thank you. We will now invite

[8:41] questions from the room. I would

[8:43] like to remind everyone at that

[8:45] the council meetings are well

[8:47] costed, and that closed

[8:49] captioning is made available for

[8:51] all to read. This means that we

[8:53] need to use the microphone to

[8:54] ensure that everything is

[8:57] probably captioned. Also, please

[8:58] share your name and address with

[8:59] the council.

[9:06] >> -- I drive quite often along

[9:09] Beaconsfield boulevard and I

[9:12] noted that demolition of the

[9:15] pond at that yacht club. So I

[9:16] have a question. Obviously, the

[9:20] site was subject to quite a lot

[9:23] of noxious chemicals, petroleum,

[9:28] paints, and things like that.

[9:29] And it's now going to become a

[9:31] public space. So I'm just

[9:34] wondering if any soil samples

[9:36] have been done prior to the

[9:39] Public using that space. That's

[9:41] my question.

[9:43] >> Thank you. That's a great

[9:45] question. I'm going to ask our

[9:47] director general to provide some

[9:50] details.

[9:51] >> Yes we do have some tests few

[9:55] years ago before we started this

[9:57] project. And we did have some

[10:00] five areas aligned, and

[10:02] everything is pretty under

[10:04] control. I don't think we did

[10:08] something within the barn, that

[10:09] would be another step that we

[10:11] would look at for there is if

[10:12] any contaminated soils. We don't

[10:14] have any issues with that. There

[10:18] is gas or a fuel that's used

[10:21] there and that's all tested and

[10:23] it's all measured. We have no

[10:26] concern with the quality of the

[10:28] soil there. And if there is any,

[10:30] it's going to be part of

[10:32] everything that should be

[10:34] decontaminated if it happens.

[10:36] >> Okay and in that case, I am

[10:39] presuming that the City will

[10:40] have to stand the cost of any

[10:45] cleaning of the affected area of

[10:47] the soil. And I imagine at some

[10:49] point, if that is the fact, that

[10:52] it would be reflected in the

[10:53] budget.

[10:54] >> Of course, yes --

[10:55] >> Because it can be really

[10:58] expensive too.

[10:59] >> Of course. We don't have high

[11:01] concerns about contamination of

[11:02] the soil. And if there is any,

[11:05] in our opinion -- if there is

[11:07] any, it would be very at the

[11:09] surface, you know, not deep in

[11:10] the ground.

[11:11] >> Thank you.

[11:13] >> Thank you.

[11:32] >> And by the way, first of all,

[11:35] it's glad to see a professional

[11:37] engineer running the meeting.

[11:38] It's really rare to have that

[11:40] one here. It's been a few years.

[11:43] Congratulations, keep up the

[11:44] good work. As a professional --

[11:47] >> What is your question

[11:49] tonight?

[11:50] >> Well, you see, I played

[11:52] hockey for 77 years, and that's

[11:53] what you get. Dave knows I'm not

[11:56] a very good hockey player. I

[11:59] tried my best. But I lived on

[12:03] mining towns. I came to Montréal

[12:06] to go to McGill. I spent seven

[12:08] years at McGill doing various

[12:11] things in engineering. And I

[12:14] always -- you know, I lost a tad

[12:17] -- up north, everyone played

[12:19] hockey. And now, they're all

[12:22] talking on the radio, it costs

[12:24] too much to play. And I know you

[12:28] knocked a barn down on the new

[12:31] property. I heard that, you

[12:34] knocked it down? Well, that's

[12:38] the start. But there's the

[12:42] tennis court, and that would be

[12:43] a perfect area for an artificial

[12:46] ice rink. And I'll tell you why

[12:48] there? If you got the money, by

[12:51] all means, put it in the back

[12:54] and let it be our own. That's

[12:56] probably going to cost $2

[12:58] million. I'm not saying if you

[12:59] have a choice, you probably do

[13:01] have that choice if you have 2

[13:03] million. That base is nice,

[13:06] brick stairs, nice and

[13:08] flattened, already broken up.

[13:11] It's going to be too expensive

[13:12] for McGill to put that in its

[13:15] place.

[13:16] >> Frank, we have an

[13:18] architectural competition right

[13:19] now for that space. So, we are

[13:22] going to see what's going to

[13:24] come out of that. But did you

[13:25] have a specific question

[13:27] regarding that?

[13:28] >> Well, yeah -- no, it's no

[13:30] reason why from Dorval to St.

[13:33] Anne de Bellevue, everybody ship

[13:36] in and have that common ice

[13:40] 24/7, all year long. But they

[13:42] have it there so that maybe --

[13:46] it's probably parking over

[13:48] there. And wherever you have it,

[13:50] you have one. So let's say,

[13:54] seven, ten municipalities chip

[13:57] in a couple of hundred grants,

[13:58] okay, you will get that

[14:00] artificial ice there. And you

[14:02] need an operator and a janitor

[14:07] across the street, we can make

[14:08] arrangements for him to clean

[14:10] the ice. It's as simple as that.

[14:12] I can wait -- know, a lot of

[14:14] people have been waiting, and

[14:16] now it's getting cold this

[14:19] winter. Nobody can escape.

[14:20] Nobody can F afford to play

[14:22] hockey inside the arena. It's

[14:23] not fair.

[14:24] >> I appreciate what you've

[14:26] brought, a refrigerated rink

[14:28] would be really nice to have.

[14:30] >> Well, it's natural --

[14:32] >> But did you have another

[14:33] question or was that --

[14:34] >> No, I spent $2 million so

[14:37] far.

[14:38] >> Okay, thank you very much,

[14:39] Frank. The next question? Sorry,

[14:47] all the questions have to happen

[14:49] at the mic so that we can

[14:51] capture what's been said.

[14:55] >>

[14:56] - Croissants

[14:57] (---)

[14:58] . Juste une clarification pour

[14:59] les questions de monsieur Pound.

[15:02] Le 20.1, est-ce que c'est juste

[15:04] pour les plans et devis, ou

[15:06] c'est pour les travaux aussi?

[15:08] - C'est pour les plans et devis.

[15:10] - 2 millions?

[15:11] - Oui.

[15:13] - Combien ça va coûter pour les

[15:14] travaux?

[15:15] - Ça, ça fait presque 2

[15:17] millions, c'est sûr. On est dans

[15:20] l'ordre de... monsieur Boileau,

[15:22] est-ce que vous pouvez...?

[15:24] - Excusez. Normalement, les

[15:25] plans et devis, c'est dans

[15:27] l'ordre de 10 à 15%, ça dépend.

[15:29] Mais on parle de deux

[15:31] agrandissements. On parle de

[15:32] refaire toute la piscine,

[15:34] d'ajouter des salles familiales,

[15:36] de se donner des espaces de

[15:38] bureau digne de ce nom, ce qui

[15:39] n'est pas le cas présentement.

[15:41] Notre personnel est mal installé

[15:43] dans les bureaux du centre

[15:45] récréatif. Il n'y a pas d'accès

[15:47] universel. Donc, ça, ça va être

[15:50] fait. On va ajouter des Springer

[15:52] un peu partout. Dès qu'on fait

[15:54] des rénovations, il doit on doit

[15:55] respecter le Code du bâtiment.

[15:57] Il va y avoir des nouvelles

[15:58] sorties qu'on doit aménager.

[15:59] C'est un gros projet.

[16:00] - Est-ce que c'est normal 2

[16:02] millions pour des plans et

[16:03] devis? Je ne suis pas dans le

[16:04] domaine, mais je trouve ça

[16:05] aussi... beaucoup.

[16:06] - Notre demande

[16:07] (---)

[16:08] dépasse d'au moins 10 fois ce

[16:10] montant-là.

[16:11] - Est-ce que ce serait plus

[16:12] simple de démolir et de

[16:14] reconstruire?

[16:15] - C'est une bonne question. Si

[16:17] vous regardez un peu la nouvelle

[16:18] et que vous voyez un centre

[16:20] récréatif pisser et aréna

[16:23] construit ensemble, on doit

[16:25] parler de 75 millions peut-être.

[16:28] Il faudrait trouver un endroit.

[16:30] - Pour le processus, est-ce

[16:34] qu'ils vont arriver à agrandir

[16:36] et est-ce qu'on va perdre le

[16:38] centre récréatif pendant les

[16:39] quatre ou 5 ans des travaux?

[16:41] - Pas le centre récréatif, mais

[16:43] une partie des travaux vont

[16:46] affecter la capacité d'utiliser

[16:49] la piscine, par exemple. Si on

[16:52] reconstruit la piscine, il n'y

[16:53] aura pas de piscine.

[16:55] - Donc, à tour de rôle, il va y

[16:56] avoir des choses qui vont être

[16:58] non accessibles.

[16:59] - Oui, exactement. Cette année,

[17:01] on espère bientôt pouvoir aller

[17:03] au conseil pour refaire l'aréna.

[17:06] Ça, ça a déjà été approuvé en

[17:08] règlement d'emprunt l'année

[17:09] dernière. Donc, ce serait un

[17:11] projet qui s'en vient aussi. Le

[17:13] 11 mars, le conseil, on va faire

[17:14] une réunion spéciale du conseil

[17:16] pour approuver le règlement

[17:18] d'emprunt. Il est soumis ensuite

[17:20] au registre référendum des

[17:23] processus d'approbation

[17:25] citoyenne, tel que prévu pour ce

[17:27] genre de projets-là, qui est un

[17:29] règlement d'emprunt.

[17:30] - Et la subvention que vous

[17:31] aviez demandé, c'est pour les

[17:33] travaux et non pas pour les

[17:34] devis, c'est ça?

[17:35] - Ça rentrerait tout là-dedans.

[17:39] Oui. On a fait notre demande...

[17:41] il fallait soumettre la demande

[17:42] au plus tard le 5 décembre, ce

[17:43] qu'on a fait. On a travaillé

[17:45] là-dessus durant l'automne. À

[17:46] partir du mois de septembre

[17:47] jusqu'au mois de décembre, sur

[17:49] notre demande.

[17:50] - Est-ce que c'est indiscrets de

[17:51] vous demander quel montant vous

[17:52] avez demandé?

[17:53] - 20 millions.

[17:54] - 20 millions.

[17:55] - C'est le montant maximum qu'on

[17:56] a droit d'avoir dans cette

[17:57] subvention-là, qui couvre deux

[17:58] tiers des coûts du projet. Donc,

[18:00] si on atteint deux tiers des

[18:01] coûts, on pourrait avoir 20

[18:03] millions. Si c'est moi que ça,

[18:04] on aurait moins que 20 millions.

[18:06] Si c'est plus que le deux tiers,

[18:07] on aurait maximum 20 millions,

[18:09] si le montant de 20 millions est

[18:11] approuvé par les instances

[18:13] gouvernementales.

[18:14] - Merci.

[18:16] - Je crois qu'on devrait savoir

[18:17] les résultats de ça.

[18:20] - On espère avant l'été. Selon

[18:24] ce qu'on entend, ça pourrait

[18:25] aller en quelque part en juin.

[18:27] On se croise les doigts des deux

[18:29] mains des orteils.

[18:30] (rires)

[18:31] - Est-ce qu'il y a d'autres

[18:33] questions de la salle. Are there

[18:36] any other questions? As a

[18:42] question period is over, I would

[18:45] ask -- to please read the

[18:47] minutes of the meeting.

[18:49] - Approbation du procès-verbal

[18:51] de la séance ordinaire du

[18:52] conseil de la Ville de

[18:54] Beaconsfield du 22 janvier 2024.

[18:58] - Je propose. All in favour?

[30:28] 2024. Je demanderais à la

[30:33] conseillère

[30:34] (---)

[30:35] si vous avez des commentaires.

[30:36] Merci.

[30:42] >> Okay. I just want to take a

[30:45] couple of moments and just relay

[30:47] a message. I feel very fortunate

[30:50] to have some pretty amazing

[30:52] residents who volunteer on the

[30:53] committee that I chair. These

[30:56] active seniors take so much of

[30:58] their time to ensure the

[30:59] population remains active and

[31:01] involved in city life. It is

[31:03] with great sadness that on

[31:05] February 2nd, John Gladwell, a

[31:07] long time Beaconsfield resident

[31:09] and MADA community member passed

[31:11] away at the age of 86. I had the

[31:14] privilege of meeting John

[31:15] through the MADA community. And

[31:18] his enthusiasm for city

[31:19] activities was the first thing

[31:20] that I noticed about him. No

[31:22] task was too small or too big

[31:24] for John to tackle. John had

[31:26] joined the faculty of education

[31:28] at McGill University as a

[31:30] professor, and retired after 30

[31:33] years. In retirement, John

[31:35] remain active and was a first

[31:38] senior to participate in MADA's

[31:40] new project of hand the seniors,

[31:42] where a senior resident

[31:44] demonstrates basic skills on

[31:45] video, and then we showed it to

[31:46] the public. John talked about

[31:49] what basic tools we needed to

[31:51] have on hand and how to use

[31:52] them. John loved working,

[31:55] anything to do with carpentry.

[31:57] His desire to make life better

[31:59] for Beaconsfield seniors was

[32:01] evident in the time he gave to

[32:02] the city. John will be missed by

[32:04] all of us, and it was a

[32:06] privilege for me to get to know

[32:07] him. That's it.

[32:11] >> Do you want to say a couple

[32:12] of words? Are you okay. Yes, I

[32:15] propose.

[32:16] >> Seconded.

[32:17] >> All in favour?

[32:25] >> Minutes of the Environmental

[32:26] Advisory Committee meeting of

[32:27] February 6, 2024. Councillor

[32:31] Moss, you have any comments for

[32:32] the committee --

[32:33] >> Yes, I do, thank you. I just

[32:38] want to say that following up on

[32:40] what my colleague, Councillor

[32:44] Peggy Alexopoulos --

[32:45] [Laughter]

[32:46] Anyway, I just wanted to say,

[32:48] with people like John Gladwell,

[32:50] and also another resident of

[32:52] ours, John Parsons, passed away

[32:54] in the last few weeks. We are

[32:56] losing so many well respected

[32:58] people in our community. The

[33:02] obituary, it's very unfortunate

[33:04] we are losing some of our

[33:06] longtime employees, not

[33:08] employees, but residents who

[33:10] really are proud Beaconsfield

[33:12] members. And I think I kind of

[33:15] regret after they leave. The

[33:17] more you learn more about their

[33:18] lives and their contributions to

[33:20] the city, they are wonderful

[33:23] people. We thank you, citizen

[33:26] seniors, who have given so much

[33:28] of their time. And John Parsons,

[33:29] as well, as part of the -- as

[33:35] well. I just wanted to pass that

[33:36] on and mention it. In terms of

[33:37] the environmental Committee

[33:39] meeting minutes for February,

[33:41] there is no recommendations

[33:42] made. I must say that we are

[33:45] looking at our objectives and

[33:48] priorities for 2024. So we'll be

[33:51] discussing more of it in 2024.

[33:53] At least in the next hearing in

[33:57] April. One thing I just wanted

[33:58] to mention is, you know, in the

[34:00] last few months, I have noticed

[34:02] that the government of Canada

[34:04] has changed their advertising

[34:05] when it comes down to

[34:09] Environment. They're now using

[34:10] the word climate crisis in an

[34:12] effort to show that we are

[34:14] entering a danger point. Many

[34:16] scientists feel we shouldn't be

[34:20] there by 2025 -- we have to take

[34:22] it seriously. Climate change may

[34:24] not seem like well, it's just

[34:26] normal change. This thing is a

[34:28] big-time issue for our planet.

[34:31] And the other thing I wanted to

[34:33] mention is that extreme weather

[34:35] events are actually affecting us

[34:37] here in Beaconsfield. Thinking

[34:39] back to just in 2023, there were

[34:41] four events that come to mind.

[34:44] The April -- which was very

[34:46] unusual. And with the heavy

[34:47] rains we had, that cost power

[34:49] failure. We also had a lot of

[34:51] floods. And that's something we

[34:52] can expect more often now with

[34:54] the rainy weather. We also have

[34:56] extreme heat in the summertime,

[34:57] with temperatures now hitting 40

[35:00] degrees Celsius. And the

[35:02] predictions are in the next

[35:03] couple of years, we're going to

[35:04] get 50 degrees Celsius. And

[35:09] that's important because our

[35:12] body for one another degree

[35:13] cannot handle 50 degrees Celsius

[35:16] heat. We can accept 40, being

[35:20] sweaty. So if there are me real

[35:22] major problems coming locally,

[35:24] we have the forest fires, and we

[35:26] saw how that actually cost so

[35:27] much damage across the North

[35:29] American airspace. So the stream

[35:32] heat is something we are

[35:34] experiencing right now. It's

[35:35] going to continue. And the last

[35:37] thing I would like to ask the

[35:39] residents, it's because we would

[35:40] like to hear from you on the

[35:42] environmental committee as well.

[35:43] If there are issues or concerns

[35:45] that you have with the

[35:47] environment, if you would like

[35:48] to see suggestions and ideas,

[35:50] you know, that we can use,

[35:52] incorporate for the benefit of

[35:54] our citizens and for our planet,

[35:56] please email anyone of us on

[35:59] Council or email me directly. So

[36:01] thank you for your interest. In

[36:03] the end, we need the public's

[36:06] participation and all of this to

[36:08] reduce the --

[36:09] [Inaudible]

[36:14] >> Thank, you Councillor Moss.

[38:54] tax payments are due this

[38:57] Thursday, February 29th. Not

[39:00] sure, I think you might have

[39:02] said Friday, but I just want to

[39:03] make sure --

[39:04] >> I did say Friday, and I

[39:05] apologize, it is Thursday.

[39:09] >> Natalie mentioned that --

[39:11] maybe I should just add this.

[39:12] And unfortunately, for that, we

[39:16] will be closing the outdoor

[39:19] rinks. I guess they're not

[39:20] useable anymore, but we will

[39:21] send something out in the coming

[39:24] days to confirm at that. It was

[39:26] a pretty sad winter for outdoor

[39:28] skating.

[39:34] - Nous sommes rendus à la levée

[39:35] de la séance cet.

[39:37] - Je le propose.

[39:41] - J'appuie.

[39:44] >> All in favour?

[39:45] - À l'unanimité.

[39:48] - Merci à tous d'avoir été des

[39:50] nôtres. Thank you for being with

[39:51] us. Safe journey home.
