[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

[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 --

[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.
