TOGETHER, LET'S MAKE SAINT-BRUNO A MODEL AND INSPIRATION IN RESPONDING TO THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY 

At a time when many populations are feeling the full brunt of the climate crisis, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville will take ambitious measures to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapt to climate disruption.

Reduce and adapt:
Cities and households can act on several fronts to reduce their GHG emissions and ensure better adaptation to extreme climate events: transportation, land use planning, energy consumption, waste management, responsible development, greening, responsible investment, reducing food waste, protecting woodlands, managing rainwater, etc

Our commitments:
Our administration will adopt a proper climate plan aiming for carbon neutrality by 2035. It will contain indicators and targets for each municipal department and will encourage the participation of Montarvillian households. Everyone's efforts will be put to work.
 

We will offer financial assistance programs to encourage the energy transition of households who want to switch from oil to electricity for heating their homes or those who wish to replace their gas lawnmowers with electric ones. In addition, we will work with households who are renovating their homes to achieve energy savings.
 

We will increase the number of trees by continuing to plant trees wherever possible.
 

​
 

Trees and nature are our best allies in the fight against climate change. They improve our quality of life and resilience to extreme weather events (heatwaves, intense rainfall, etc.)

We will continue to protect woodlands. The possibility of creating a Social Utility Trust will be submitted for debate.

We will continue to improve the public transit and evaluate the costs and opportunities for implementing of an electric shuttle linking the residential neighbourhoods to the village core.
 

We will accelerate the deployment of the municipality's Active Mobility Plan, which will improve the networks and the connection of existing routes. In particular, we will ensure the completion of the trail project along Montée Sabourin to secure the connection with the Promenades*. All connections to the village core will be prioritized.
 

We will conduct a pilot project in a residential neighbourhood to offer an electric car as a part of a sharing economy (available on subscriptions like Communauto). This initiative will reduce the pressure on households that have to buy a second or third car for occasional use** 







 

We will improve infrastructure to ensure better stormwater management, for example, of harmful water runoff to the lake and sewer flow.
