Citizen participation

For several years now, the population has shown a growing willingness to take part in decisions that affect their daily lives and their environment. Aware of this reality, the city has equipped itself with tools to encourage and facilitate citizen participation.

An interactive platform for citizens

Pensons Brossard is Brossard’s central public participation tool. It brings together a number of features enabling Brossard residents to express their views and contribute to municipal decision-making. On this platform, you can :

  • Respond to questionnaires and surveys;
  • Share your ideas on idea walls;
  • Participate in discussion forums;
  • Take part in votes and consultations.

This tool strengthens the dialogue between the city and its citizens, and ensures that citizens can participate in the decision-making process.

Why create an account on Pensons Brossard?

By registering on the Pensons Brossard platform, the city can better target the citizens concerned by each consultation and tailor the process to their specific needs. For example, if the city is conducting a consultation for work on your street or for a bylaw amendment affecting your sector, you will have access to this questionnaire through your personal account only if you live on the street or in the sector in question, as indicated when you registered.

Important: answers to questionnaires remain anonymous at all times, unless otherwise stated, even when using a personal account.

Citizen participation policy

In December 2023, the city adopted a Citizen Participation Policy to structure its approach to public participation.

Policy objectives :

  • Foster active dialogue between the city and the community;
  • Structure consultations according to the nature and scope of projects.
