jesseps Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 MONTREAL, March 29 /CNW Telbec/ - Gérald Tremblay, Leader of UnionMontréal and Mayor of Montréal, announces the launch of a major People's Forum in which he and his political party invite all Montrealers to participate. Under the theme Union Montréal Is Listening!, this consultation will be available online at http://www.unionmontreal.com, from March 29 to April 30. "Everyday, we share views with our fellow Montrealers to build a greener, stronger, more beautiful and more prosperous city. Through this major consultation process, we seek to further enhance this dialogue to make sure we always meet the current and future needs of our fellow citizens and ensure the development of Montréal," said Gérald Tremblay, Leader of Union Montréal and Mayor of Montréal. Seven themes linked to Montrealers' daily lives The online consultation allows Montrealers to identify their priorities from among a series of practical proposals based on the following seven themes: urban development, the environment, housing, transportation, sports and leisure, culture, and neighborhood life. During the past few months, working groups composed of grass-root members and elected members of Union Montréal have participated in a consultation and reflection process initiated by the political committee. The results of this exercise provided the basis of the initiative being launched today. "This unique initiative is a first for a Montréal-based municipal political party. Union Montréal is facilitating the dialogue with Montrealers through a simple, modern and user-friendly tool," commented Brenda Paris, President of Union Montréal. In the weeks to come, Union Montréal will roll out its radio and web-based ad campaign inviting Montrealers to take a few minutes to participate in its online People's Forum. "This forum will allow Montrealers to share their priorities and tell us what really matters to them. I hope many Montrealers will answer the call and make this consultation their own, so that we may continue to build this city together," concluded Tremblay.
