Planting fruit bushes to make them accessible to residents and allow them to “adopt” them.

Two locations are being considered: Parc de l’Aqueduc, in the right-of-way of the lines that Hydro-Québec is dismantling, or in the park on the grounds of borough hall (bounded by Airlie/Dupras/LaSalle)

Budget: $70,320

2. Gardening together (39.4% support)

Development of an above-ground community garden

These projects total $132,840 out of an overall available budget of $150,000. The remaining amount will be retained to absorb any cost adjustments that may be required while carrying out the three projects. This amount can also be used to enhance the projects. 

Implementation of the projects by the borough and follow-up after they are carried out will be spread out over a period of two years.
