The role of the CDN-NDGYC

The CDN-NDGYC is a consultative body that provides a way for borough young people aged 15 to 30 to socialize and to engage in civic participation. Members of the CDN-NDGYC are selected so as to reflect the cultural, social and geographic diversity of Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce as well as gender parity.

 

The Youth Council has a real impact

Council members meet monthly to discuss and develop projects to improve their neighbourhoods. The mission of this non-partisan body is to inform the actions of elected officials and the municipal administration as part of an overarching policy of public participation in local life.

Exciting projects

In recent years, the Youth Council has worked on tangible projects that made a difference for the community. 

 

  • Participation in the development of a mural for Parc Martin Luther King
  • Contribution to the creation of a vegetable garden at Place Darlington
  • Creation of a social media campaign to raise awareness of COVID-19 among young people
  • Climate change speakers
  • Consent project at École La Voie and organization of a youth event

 

And much more!
