2 MESSAGE FROM THE CANDIDATES We are truly proud of both the work accomplished and the progress made throughout this past mandate across all of our neighborhoods: Ville-Émard, Griffintown, Petite-Bourgogne, Pointe-Saint-Charles, Saint-Henri, Côte-Saint-Paul. These are neighborhoods in which solidarity is at the heart of our community groups, and where the proximity of our services allow us to fully support local businesses and active transport. Above all, this is a borough where living together allows every citizen, regardless of their origin or profession, to feel welcome. The Sud-Ouest, both its residents and its merchants, deserves only the best. This involves an unparalleled quality of life in which residents are at the heart of our actions, whether it s regarding transport, traffic, economic development, housing, community life, heritage, the environment, sports and leisure, culture, or citizen engagement. Our platform is a natural extension of our previous mandate, which will help lay the groundwork for the success our projects in the years to come. There is still a lot to accomplish together, and we are more determined than ever to make the Sud-Ouest a dynamic, welcoming and unique place for all its citizens.
