Mayor’s message
A very busy fall
Let’s start with the Annual Awards of Merit Townies of Note.
Many of you sent us nominations as part of our competition. As
you may recall, four new annual awards will celebrate the merit
of exceptional residents whose involvement in our community
or contribution to its development is, in one way or another,
remarkable. Amazingly, we’re only weeks away from the October
announcement and celebration of the recipients. This first edition
of our competition has received the kind of attention that is
a source of delight for all of us around the Council table, and I
predict that the crowning of the four winners will be one of the
high points of the fall for all Townies.
Then there’s culture. As I announced in the preceding issue of
Info TMR, our Town will be immersed in a formidable artistic
whirlwind this fall. Centred around the 20 cultural treasures of
Mount Royal that you helped us identify this summer, the Journées
de la culture, which run from September 30 to October 2, will
highlight these points of interest emblematic of our community.
The updating of our cultural policy will also be discussed this fall
and, of course, your opinions will be sought. The following pages
will provide you with more information on the subject.
The following pages will also inform you about the construction
of a future sports centre, a project that remains in the idea stage
—where it has been for a while now—but that appears to interest
more than one resident. This is something I noticed during last
spring’s by-election, when many voters brought it up with our
candidate, Michelle Setlakwe, during her campaign. However,
as we cannot base our decision on a mere impression, we intend
to hold consultations and we hope to hear your opinion on this
important Mount Royal project. For the time being and without
jumping to any conclusions, the idea of a sports centre appears to
enjoy a certain popularity. What do you personally think about it?
Take part in our reflection processes this fall and make your voice
heard on culture in Mount Royal and on the sports centre project.
Play a direct role in the evolution of your living environment!
I look forward to seeing you during our many activities in the
coming months. Best wishes for a most pleasant fall!

ONE VISIT, TWO MISSIONS
A city or town’s mission is not limited to local development. It can, in fact, extend to
­international relations. With that in mind, Mount Royal took part in a political and
commercial mission to Lebanon last spring. At the invitation of the Lebanese government
and through the agency of Fadi Ziadeh, Lebanon’s consul general in Montreal, delegates
from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Saint-Laurent–Mount Royal joined
Mayor Philippe Roy and myself to attend an international forum on the Lebanese diaspora.
The political aspect of our mission led to the signing—in the
presence of the Lebanese minister of Foreign Affairs—of a
cultural and artistic agreement between our Town and
Batroun, a port city whose founding dates back to the
Phoenician era. Also at Batroun and by way of recognition
and gratitude, a visit was paid to the renowned artist
Anachar Basbous, who designed and created the sculpture
Man and His Community that embellishes Connaught Park.
In a generous gesture, the sculptor graciously assigned his
copyright to the Town, allowing it to reproduce and use
the image of Man and His Community in the future.
The economic aspect of our mission took the form of a series
of high-level meetings and workshops with the Investment
Development Authority of Lebanon. With various business
people and political leaders, we explored a number of avenues
for mutual investment, for holding innovative expositions
in Montreal and for economic promotion, most notably
in the fields of franchising and IT expertise.
A high point of our visit to Lebanon was an
invitation we received from the Holy Spirit
University of Kaslik (HSUK) to attend a
ceremony during which 27 MBAs were
awarded to Lebanese students as part of a
partnership with HEC Montréal, whose
director was also present.
Throughout our mission, no effort was spared to treat us to a royal
welcome. Mayor Roy was given the opportunity to contribute, through his
speeches and thoughtful participation in discussions, to promoting Canada
and, more specifically, our municipality. Without a doubt, Town of Mount
Royal shone brightly during his visit to my ancestors’ homeland. As the
photographer Frédéric Lecloux once said, “Le voyageur est celui qui se
donne le temps de la rencontre et de l’échange” (a traveller is he or she
who takes the time to meet and converse).
Joseph Daoura, Councillor, District No. 1

A word from your
new councillor
It is an honour to have had the opportunity to represent you as Town councillor for District
5 since my swearing-in on June 27. Municipal government is a field that holds a particular
interest for me. The decisions taken at this level of government have a direct and tangible
impact on citizens’ daily lives. We are all aware of our immediate environment. Our
beautiful streets lined with majestic trees and magnificent houses, our parks, bike paths,
library, businesses and municipal buildings are places that we frequent every day and
that contribute directly to our quality of life.
The recent campaign that resulted in in my election was a most
enriching experience for me. That four other candidates also ran
is proof that this exercise in democracy was a success. We should
celebrate the fact that several persons with differing visions but a
shared desire to be involved in their community were interested
enough to run for the position of councillor. The citizens of
District 5 had the opportunity to make their voices heard
and to express their concerns.
During the campaign, I toured the district and met my neighbours.
I learned much in the process. In the main, citizens spoke to me
about the importance of preserving and protecting our urban
heritage, trees and green spaces. Security and maintaining our
peaceful surroundings were other subjects of great importance to
many. The condition of our sports facilities also sparked a number
of discussions. The citizens whom I met all appeared to realize that
these facilities could be better, and I am left with the impression
INFO VMR _ 04
that renovating the current recreation centre and building a new
sports centre are widely hoped for. And, indeed, residents will be
consulted about such a project this fall.
My first Council meetings took place during the summer, which
made learning the ropes a smooth process. I am now ready and
motivated for the fall, a much busier period. We will be focusing
on several interesting files, including a review of the urban planning
by-laws, the 2017 budget, the sports centre and the updating of our
cultural policy.
I look forward to hearing your ideas and learning about your needs
and concerns. Please feel free to contact me—it will be a pleasure to
converse with you. And on that note, I wish you a great fall!

Our Sports Centre Project —
The Next Step
Our First
Gala Evening
in Honour of
Townies of Note
Join us for the annual gala of
the Townies of Note Awards
­celebrating residents’ involvement
on Thursday, October 6 at 18:00.
The idea of a new sports centre has come up regularly over the last
few years during council meetings and generated much interest during
Michelle Setlakwe’s electoral visits while campaigning last May. Mayor
Philippe Roy, who accompanied her door-to-door, made good note of it.
If the sports centre project were to go ahead, the current recreation centre would be updated
and connected to a new building, as was the case for the recent successful renovation and
expansion of the Reginald J. P. Dawson Library. The project would allow the Town to acquire
its own indoor pool, a spacious gymnasium, new exercise rooms, etc., and to offer studio spaces
that are better equipped for various arts activities.
Mount Royal’s current facilities are no longer sufficient and do not meet demand in terms
of the number of users that can be accommodated or the activities requested. We are simply
unable to offer certain activities in high demand, such as indoor basketball or rock climbing.
Our current recreation centre will be 50 years old next year; it was initially built to replace a
smaller centre and is now due to be replaced itself.
Mount Royal’s recreational activities are extremely popular, drawing 20,000 enrolments
annually, and used by between 7,000 and 8,000 residents. Aquatics activities alone account
for approximately 5,000 enrolments, and waiting lists are getting longer. It is becoming an
accessibility issue, which is somewhat ironic for a municipality that prides itself on promoting
a healthy lifestyle.
The Town is currently counting on the Fonds Chantiers Canada-Québec (Canada-Québec
building fund), Small Communities Fund Component, to finance the tentative construction
of the sports centre and the modernization of its current facilities. If approved, this funding
could cover up to two thirds of the total cost of the project, estimated at $33 million.
Starting this fall, the Town will meet with various sports associations in the area in order to
better gauge their needs. And although we surveyed the general public in the past regarding
recreational activities, we will be consulting them again, primarily by means of a telephone
survey. A similar survey conducted in 2006 revealed that indoor pool access, library expansion
and a new sports centre were the top priorities for respondents.
Keep an eye on our website for updates: you’ll be able to find information at every stage
of this important public consultation.
The awards, established this summer,
aim to recognize four individuals who
have made exceptional contributions
in one of the following categories:
Achievement, Community ­Development,
­Economic Development, ­Emerging
­Generation. Nominations were
­submitted until August 19, 2016,
and are currently being reviewed
by a selection committee composed of
two elected officials (Mayor Philippe Roy
and Councillor Erin Kennedy), Town
Manager Ava Couch, and five residents
(Sandy Vassiadis, Charles Faribault,
Suzanne Caron, Gary Fabien and
Melpa Kamateros).
A cocktail will set the tone for the annual
awards evening. Attendees will enjoy
hors d’oeuvres, a glass of white wine
and the sounds of jazz. Guests will then
be served a gourmet four-course dinner
among neighbours and friends. The
­evening will come to a close with a
dance featuring New Orleans jazz
played by the Isabelle Janes Orchestra.
The evening gala is a wonderful
­opportunity for people to get together
and one which we hope will become
a TMR tradition.

Mount Royal,
ever greener!
The quality and number of Mount Royal’s parks and other green spaces has always been
the trademark of our Town—you’d expect no less of a garden city. And this summer,
three of our parks have garnered a lot of attention or will do so soon.
First, in mid-June, Recreation Centre Park
was renamed Danyluk Park to pay homage
to a great lady and one of the most likeable
figures in our recent history. I had the
pleasure of working with Vera Danyluk for
several years. Much praise has been heaped
on her but I will add this: irrespective of
the way in which she was involved with a
cause, whether as mayor or in another role,
Mrs. Danyluk always acted wisely when it
came to distinguishing between leadership
and authority. And it is most definitely
her leadership that we are celebrating
posthumously. It was her charisma, vision
and talent that made us happy to dedicate
a park—Danyluk Park—to her memory this
year, for only a park that big can reflect the
many lives that were touched by her presence
in Mount Royal and elsewhere.
Second, Dakin Park has been a source of
delight for more than one family since July,
when a magnificent living sculpture was
unveiled in it. If you haven’t made the detour
to see it, be sure to do so. Using a special
species of willow and with the assistance
of a specialized firm, our horticultural
experts have succeeded in adding an original
attraction to this part of the Town. Imbued
with a contemporary spirit, our huge vegetal
sculpture is designed as a permanent fixture
and meant to be passed through as well as
admired from afar.
Lastly, Delvida-Daoust Park, on the corner
of Lucerne Road and Plymouth Avenue, will
soon be getting a makeover. We are taking
advantage of recent developments in the
neighbourhood to make this modest oasis
of greenery even more attractive.
I want to take advantage of this opportunity
to praise the talent of our horticultural teams.
From project to project and year to year, it is
on their shoulders that a significant part of
Mount Royal’s success as a garden city rests. I
like to think that Dakin Park’s living sculpture
and other such initiatives are signs of a vein
of creativity running through our municipal
government. For residents, I am certain that
these initiatives add an appropriate touch of
fantasy to their living environment.
A quick word on parking restrictions. You may
have noticed that parking signs have gone up
on some of Mount Royal’s traffic corridors this
summer. By banning vehicle parking, mainly
on the sides of streets where streetlights are
located (the idea being to keep the number
of poles to a minimum), we are returning
parking management to its former state. Our
goal, of course, remains to improve traffic flow
and facilitate emergency response, general
maintenance and snow removal operations.
As we will soon be shifting from summer
green to a more autumnal palette, I want
to wish you a wonderful fall from the entire
municipal organization.

Economic Mission to Lebanon a Success
In early May, Mayor Philippe Roy and Councillor Joseph
Daoura travelled to Lebanon for a few days as part of
an economic initiative. The mission was organized by
the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Saint Laurent
— Mount Royal in partnership with the Chambre de
commerce et d’industrie Canada-Liban and the Consulate
General of Lebanon in Montreal. Its objective was to give
Quebec businesses the chance to explore markets in the
Middle-East and North Africa (MENA). It was also an
opportunity to promote the Town of Mount Royal with
Lebanese businesses, primarily in Beirut and Batroun,
in order to better attract their business.
INFO VMR _ 06
Mayor Roy and Councillor Daoura also had the unique
opportunity to meet sculptor Anachar Basbous at his
residence and to visit his studio. Basbous created
Man and His Community, a sculpture that has greeted
visitors at the entrance of the Connaught Park rose
garden since 2011. To see more of Basbous’ sculptures,
visit www.anacharbasbous.com.
It is worth noting that Mount Royal has a large Lebanese
community, which accounts for 4% of the Town’s
population, outnumbering other families with roots
abroad, including those from France, Vietnam
and Morocco.
New Kitchen waste
­Collection,
Here to Stay
The kitchen waste collection pilot project that started in summer
2014 was a success and will now be a permanent collection
service, like garbage and recycling. All households in the
Town of Mount Royal will have access to this service by
the end of November.
Green Sculpture
in Dakin Park
This summer marked the arrival of a living
sculpture to the Town of Mount Royal. Working
closely with the Town’s horticultural teams,
the company Les Écrans Verts created the
permanent sculpture made of Chinese Willow
in Dakin Park. It’s a flexible plant whose curved
stems are bent inward to create majestic
archways under which children can run
and play.
Residents in the western sector who were not part of the ­pilotproject will be given a start-up kit. The kit includes a small
countertop bin with a handle, ten cellulose-lined paper bags,
a 45-litre brown bin on wheels and a detailed user guide.
Kitchen waste collection will take place on Wednesdays,
and run from late November until mid-April.
Yard waste collection will then resume from mid-April until
late November. During these collection periods, only one of the
bins (brown or green) will be emptied. We recommend using
the green bin because it is larger and kitchen waste is accepted.
The living sculpture will require regular maintenance including
pruning twice a year, a touch of fertilizer and plenty of water from
our teams. This month, landscaping will begin around the edges of
the sculpture to create clearer pathways leading in and out of it.
The Emerald Ash Borer:
Summary of the Current Situation
The emerald ash borer poses a real threat
­throughout Quebec, which is why the Town
­regularly updates its action plan aimed at
fighting this destructive beetle.
A survey carried out in summer 2015 established that 450 ash
trees on private land required TreeAzin treatment: 260 of the
trees were treated during this period and 190 were scheduled to be
treated this year. The condition of these 190 trees was evaluated
again in June to determine whether they are still treatable:
50% can still be treated. The other 95 trees are too damaged
for the treatment to be effective and will have to be cut down
this fall or winter.
Only 40 out of the 95 healthy ash trees have received a TreeAzin
injection. In addition to directly informing all owners concerned,
the Town has raised awareness through activities such as an
evening information session, information booths and even doorto-door visits. The Town has also offered to reimburse residents
for 50% of the treatment cost upon presentation of the contractor’s
receipt. Treatment requests were accepted until August 19, 2016.
The emerald ash borer is spreading particularly quickly this year;
as a result, any trees that have not been treated will probably need
to be cut down next year. Property owners will have to cover the
cost of cutting down the trees.
Strict Monitoring in Public Areas
The measures implemented will also target ash trees growing on
public land. 310 of the trees listed received an initial TreeAzin
injection in 2015 and a second one over the summer. 14 traps
were also set up on trees throughout the area in order to detect
the presence of the emerald ash borer and determine the rate
at which it is spreading. Further analysis will be conducted to
­establish the health of each tree. Based on the results, we will be
able to determine which trees need to be cut down.

the emerald ash borer, visit

TMR INFO _ 07
New Parking
Signage
Since July, additional “No Parking” signs
have been posted to prevent parking on a
single side of the street on various roads in
Mount Royal. It is now prohibited to park
on one side of the street, at all times. The
signs were put up on the same side as the
lampposts on most roads, minimizing the
need to put up more posts.
The new signage will improve traffic flow
and facilitate firetruck access, general
maintenance and snow removal. To see
a map of the streets affected, go to

LED Lighting
Installed
Along Côtede-Liesse Road
Two years ago we undertook an innovative,
energy-efficient streetlight conversion project,
switching to LED (light-emitting diode) technology.
Traditional HPS street lighting was replaced
on Rockland Road and in Connaught Park
and the conversion is now also complete on
Côte-de-Liesse Road.
LED Cobra Head luminaires used on the service
road focuses lighting on the roadway, reducing
light pollution and glare, while giving drivers
greater visibility.
Designed to withstand changes in climate,
LED cells last up to 25 times longer than the
high pressure sodium (HPS) bulbs currently
used by the Town, and save energy. LED
technology is more sustainable and uses
less energy, guaranteeing lower energy
and maintenance costs.

Cultural Policy
A New Draft to Reflect Mount Royal’s Evolving Community
This summer we began the process
of redrafting our cultural policy,
as announced in the last edition
of Info TMR. Working alongside
Thérèse David, a consultant for
Culture pour tous, the municipal
administration’s committee came
together to study the task at hand.
The committee first analyzed similar initiatives undertaken
in different cities, using the success stories as inspiration.
The Town of Mount Royal has already established
numerous traditions that define the pillars of our cultural
identity, including various cultural activities adapted to
diverse groups, a bilingual library buzzing with activity,
as well as outdoor celebrations and performances.
However, a cultural policy that better reflects the Town
of Mount Royal would enhance these activities, promoting
them more effectively and defining them in greater detail.
In an effort to adjust our guidelines and align our
objectives with residents’ actual needs, we will be
meeting with key local organizations this fall. The
members of these organizations are involved in
our community at various levels, and are worthy
representatives of our cultural activities and reliable
spokespeople for our Town.
In these meetings, we will redefine the policy’s guiding
principles and then present them to the public. These
guiding principles are there to encourage reflection on
Mount Royal’s position on cultural issues. You will be
able to express your thoughts in this regard on multiple
platforms. In addition to information that will be available
online, we will hold an information session in the fall. We
would like to hear your thoughts, suggestions and vision of a
cultural identity that is a sustainable part of our community.
Together we will draft a new cultural policy that takes into
account current issues and focuses more on your needs.
The new policy draft will be presented to the public within
the next few months. Stay tuned!
