Is your child aged 9 to 12 and eager to share their ideas? The Pierrefonds-Roxboro Children’s Council gives young people a voice on issues that affect them and their community.

Giving children a voice

The Borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro is launching its first Children’s Council, an advisory body to Borough Council for young people aged 9 to 12 who live in Pierrefonds-Roxboro.

The Children’s Council will provide a space for kids to express themselves, share their ideas, and actively participate in their community.

What is the Council’s role?

The Children’s Council will:

  • advise Borough elected officials on matters affecting children;
  • contribute to improving municipal policies, services, activities and public spaces by taking children’s realities into account;
  • help identify municipal priorities that affect children.

Young members will have an opportunity to voice their concerns, propose ideas and make recommendations on issues that directly affect them.

Who can participate?

The Children’s Council is open to young people aged 9 to 12 who live in Pierrefonds-Roxboro.

Selected children will serve a one-year term, with the possibility of renewal. During their term, they will participate in three meetings, where they can exchange ideas with their peers and share their perspectives.
