Citizens' Forum: Join the discussion workshops on our city's strategic planning!

As part of its strategic planning process, which began last winter, the Ville de Saint-Lambert invites residents to participate in discussion workshops on key issues that affect the daily lives of Saint-Lambert residents: the environment, transportation, local businesses, recreation, culture, road maintenance, and more.

These workshops offer a unique opportunity for residents to identify their priorities for action in the coming years and to define what success would look like for their community. The discussions will directly inform the strategic directions that will guide Saint-Lambert’s development over the next few years.

After consulting with municipal staff, sports, cultural, and community organizations, as well as local businesses, the City now wishes to hear from the public to complete this inclusive and representative process.

The workshops will take place on Thursday, May 7, at the Multi-purpose Centre. Four time slots are available:
