Do these amounts strike you as large? They shouldn’t. To appreciate what they mean, they need to be put into context. Above all, you should bear in mind that our debt load is low in relation to our standardized property values, which have experienced a significant rise during the market boom of the last decade. Looked at this way, the Town’s debt is constantly decreasing relative to the Town’s actual value, which, for its part, has increased steadily and substantially. By comparing the Town’s total debt with its standardized property values, we can see that our debt ratio has dropped from 0.60% in 2008 to 0.42% as at May 15, 2014. This is one of the lowest debt ratios among the 16 municipalities that make up the Urban Agglomeration of Montreal. HOUSES AND PRIVATE PROPERTY IN MOUNT ROYAL: LET’S TALK! As a resident of our fair city, you will be invited this fall to express yourself publicly about the residential urban planning and heritage protection issues that matter to you most during a major public consultation devoted to these two subjects. The multi-step process will give you the opportunity to discuss the quality of life in our garden city and how it should evolve, specifically as regards houses and private property. Subjects known for eliciting a wide range of views will be addressed, in particular ones relating to oversized houses and progressivism versus conservatism in local architecture. All opinions will be welcome and all Townies will have the chance to take part. The consultation activities will be spread over several months and Town Council will provide you with several ways to make your voice heard. You will also be able to express your point of view on more than one occasion, to refine it over the months and to present all its nuances. At the end of the process, a report will be submitted to Town Council based on citizens’ contribution to the debate. The report will be used as the starting point for a review and consolidation of the by-laws governing home construction, demolition and renovation and the development of private property in Mount Royal. So, stay on the lookout and be sure to join the discussion. Further details about our public consultation will be disseminated when the program is unveiled early in the fall. TMR INFO _ 05 THE SIX ELECTORAL DISTRICTS: FAIRLY REPRESENTING YOUR REALITIES Mount Royal voters who headed to the polls last November found that exercising their right to vote was simpler than ever. In the districts where the councillors were not elected by acclamation, voters received only two ballots: one to vote for mayor and one to vote for the councillor who would represent their district. In the future, even when every seat on Town Council is contested, it will no longer be necessary to vote on seven ballots. Besides simplifying the voting process, this will reduce the costs involved in organizing and holding elections.

  • Private Property Pesticide By-Laws in Canada
    Private Property Pesticide By-laws In Canada Population Statistics by Municipality The lack of adequate protection from unwanted exposure to lawn pesticides at the federal and provincial level has fueled a growing surge in municipal pesticide restrictions designed to enhance the protection of the environment and public health. The number of municipal by-laws currently in place across Canada has now increased to 117. An additional 10 pesticide by-laws are at the draft stage pending adoption. Municipalities of all sizes have passed various forms of pesticide by-laws. The largest is the City of Toronto with a population of 2.48 million while some are as small as Lac- Saint-Joseph, Québec with a population of 184. There are over 11 million Canadians, or 36.5% of Canada's total population (based on 2001 Census) benefiting from enhanced protection from unwanted exposure to synthetic lawn and garden pesticides. This figure includes the additional province-wide protection provided under Québec’s Pesticide Management Code.

  • A History of the Town of Baie-D'urfé
    July 1977, A HISTORY OF THE TOWN by Thomas Roche Lee, Mayor of Baie-D'Urfé OF BAIE D'URFE from 1957 to 1961 © Town of Baie-d'Urfé FOREWORD Uniquely fortunate is the community which has in its midst one with a lively interest in its origins, in its history, and in its present. Doubly fortunate is the community whose historian and chronicler is both imaginative as to opportunity, and has had the experience of being its mayor. Those of the past, with the research that permitted them to be remembered, those of the present who also helped make this greatly blessed piece of geography, Baie d'Urfé, and those who follow, all owe much to Tommy Lee. Tommy re-identified the Town with its Urfé origins. He duplicated the historical Alcock-Brown flight from Newfoundland to Ireland and England, he hedge-hopped and railway trained his way across this great country, and chronicled his experiences. He served eminently as our mayor. He raised his arm heavenward with me one Saturday morning, tracing in the sky the potential magnificence of a Centennial flagpole one hundred feet high. Of this great stuff is Tommy Lee. I am honoured by this association with Tommy Lee's story of this great place where I have been privileged to live. A. Clark Graham, Mayor July 12, 1977 A HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF BAIE D'URFE, QUEBEC BY THOMAS R. LEE The town of Baie d'Urfé had its beginnings in 1686 when Francois Saturnin Lascaris d'Urfé, Marquis de Baugé, a French missionary of the Sulpician order, established a mission on what is known today as Caron Point.
