    The Participatory Budget (PB) is a process whereby residents of a locality are given the power to decide on the use of part of a public budget, by gathering to discuss, create and select projects aimed at improving their quality of life.

    For its second Participatory Budget, Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce invites residents and business owners to draw on their expertise to co-create and choose projects for improving well-being in the borough’s neighbourhoods.

    The chosen projects will be implemented within 2 years of the popular vote held from September to November 2024.

    The third edition of the Participatory Budget will take place in 2025. The borough intends to make the Participatory Budget – an innovative public participation process – a highly anticipated and galvanizing annual initiative for all people who live or have a shop in the borough.

    You can consult this page to find out about the projects that came out of the previous edition in 2023.
