EMPLOYMENT FOR YOUTH
Westmount hires a number of students for a variety of
positions during the summer. Application forms can be picked
up at City Hall or downloaded from our Web site as of
December 2, 2014 for work the following summer. The City of
Westmount is an equal opportunity employer. Deadline:
January 31st, 2015. Info: 514 989-5210 _
The City of Westmount prides itself on providing excellent municipal
services which include, in this Fall- Winter 2014-2015 booklet, a wide
variety of programmes and events presented by the Sports, Recreation and the Library, Community Events services respectively.
Our objective is to offer a myriad of activities and events for all ages
and interests. We hope you will take a few minutes to read this
brochure to discover the many programmes available.
Without the current three hundred volunteers, we would not be able to
offer as many activities and programmes as we presently do, so if you
would like to coach a team or if you are a new resident and would like
to get involved in some capacity, please do not hesitate to let us know.
The City of Westmount will also soon be releasing its new and improved web site with an easy one or two click access to programmes,
events and all municipal information as well.
The friendly and experienced team at Sports and Recreation also looks
forward to seeing you at the new Westmount Recreation Centre during the upcoming 2014-2015 season.
The Victoria Hall Community Centre is the place for cultural events
and recreation activities. Since 1899, generations of Westmounters
have passed through its doors to attend concerts, flower shows, ballet classes, theatre productions and a myriad of other activities offered by the City. Originally known as Victoria Jubilee Hall, it was
rebuilt in 1925 after a fire and now also includes the Gallery at Victo-
ria Hall, which offers public exhibitions featuring works by local
artists. The Gallery links Victoria Hall to the Library via the Conservatory. Every month the Events Division also produces concerts,
plays or workshops, making Victoria Hall a hub of activities for residents of all ages.
The Westmount Public Library personnel invites you to discover –
and rediscover – the myriad of services it offers, including author
events, story hour, the summer reading club for kids, cultural lectures and a free eBook lending service.
The beauty of our collections and the space that houses them, as
well as our quality of service, are part of what makes this century-old
library one of Westmount’s heritage gems.
Make the most of the advantages of the Westmount Library card,
free for Westmount residents. With this card, you can borrow any of
the more than 185,000 items in our collection – books, periodicals,
films, compact discs – to enjoy in your leisure time or to gather whatever information you need to complete a school or professional research project. You can even now download ebooks from your
favourite reading chair at any time. Spending time at the Library,
whether for pleasure or for research, is always a rewarding experience.
All of the information contained in this booklet – a more sustainable
and environmentally-friendly document – is also available at
www.westmount.org
