Les Amis de la montagne took part in the City of Montréal’s consultations concerning its next budget. Given the significant stresses being exerted on the city’s natural environments and green spaces, the City of Montréal must use the tools at its disposal to help reverse the trend.
Les Amis are making the following recommendations :
-
Make the protection, restoration and enhancement of Montreal’s major parks, green spaces and Mount Royal a priority in the budget and the IDP.
-
Provide the necessary budgets to financially support the civil society organizations committed to working alongside the City of Montréal on the ecological transition and the conservation of natural environments and green spaces.
-
Include recurrent amounts in the operating budget to ensure the maintenance and management of natural environments and green spaces.
The budget to be adopted in November can make a very real contribution to strengthening the resilience of the territory. We hope that the sums and measures established will be in line with the needs and ambitions of Montrealers and organizations in the field!
