Brossard hosted the 33rd Espace MUNI symposium on June1 and 2. Under the theme Living Municipality, this event brought together various stakeholders from the municipal world, including members of municipal councils, administrative staff from MRCs and NPOs. It was a most rewarding event for municipalities committed to community development.
“For me, Espace MUNI is the place to get inspired by new approaches and initiatives, to get equipped for the challenges encountered in projects with our communities, and to think about human-scale solutions for municipalities. Let’s continue to develop the spheres of land-use planning, global health, inclusive services and programs, and committed citizen participation for municipalities that are even more alive, that is, more active, more inclusive and more participative,” mentioned Doreen Assaad, Mayor of Brossard and President of Espace MUNI.
What is Espace MUNI?
Espace MUNI is a non-profit organization born of the merger between Carrefour action municipale et famille (CAMF) and Réseau québécois de Villes et Villages en santé (RQVVS). With a network of over 400 municipalities and MRCs in Quebec, the organization’s goal is to provide a sustainable and inclusive municipal environment that enables citizens to develop their full potential.
