For the 2025-2029 term, our Projet Montréal Verdun team, led by Céline-Audrey Beauregard, has clear priorities:

• a strong focus on housing for more affordable and off-market housing

• quality services for the population

• a focus on communication and citizen participation

• green AND socially, economically and climatically resilient neighborhoods

• safetransportation and public spaces

By 2030, our vision is to make Verdun an even greener, safer, more accessible, resilient, vibrant, and actively engaged neighborhood. We are already hard at work and have no shortage of ideas for addressing challenges and finding solutions!
