As part of the Semaine d'actions ZéN (Zero net emissions actions week) of Laval ZéN, CRE de Laval joined the citizen mobilization initiative Vire au vert and organized, in partnership with Laval en transition, a non-partisan environmental debate to which all mayoral candidates have been cordially invited.
The debate was held on Thursday, October 21,7-9:00 PM, at Collège Montmorency.
Read the official announcement in Equiterre's national press release (French-written), published on September 27 - all participating municipalities are listed, including Laval.
We also invite you to consult our recent open letter Le pouvoir sous-estimé des municipalités (French-written) co-signed by Laval en transition. This letter reiterates the several powers of municipalities, often overlooked, to protect the environment. Whether it is about food, transportation, land use planning or other key sectors, the municipal level directly influences our resilience capacity towards climate change.
Virtual broadcast
The debate is now available as a Live video through CRE de Laval's Facebook page. It is also on CRE de Laval's YouTube channel.
