                                  YOUNG residents of POINTE-CLAIRE,
                                  MAKE YOURSELVES HEARD!
                                  Dear residents,

                                  We are pleased to present this edition of Leisure Pointe-Claire, where you will find this fall’s
                                  complete list of events, as well as cultural, sports, and community activities for all ages.

                                  The City’s latest project is the launch of our very first Youth Advisory Board, a way for
                                  young residents of Pointe-Claire aged 14 to 21 who are involved in the community to contribute
                                  to municipal affairs.

                                  Its mandate will be to make recommendations to City Council to improve activities, services,
  john belvedere

                                  and public facilities in order to better meet the needs of young residents and encourage them
                                  to participate.

                                  This Youth Advisory Board is part of the City’s vision for improving quality of life by promoting
                                  accessibility, active participation, and the involvement of all residents, and will allow young
                                  residents to develop civic awareness while helping to create a city adapted to all.

                                  All young residents of Pointe-Claire are encouraged to submit their application, starting now
                                  and until September 17, to be part of the first Youth Advisory Board in Pointe-Claire!

                                  Candidates will be selected based on their involvement in the community.
