The City of Lorraine is inviting residents to take part in the second edition of its community event, “Autour d’un brunch,” scheduled for March 15 at the Centre culturel Laurent G. Belley.
The initiative brings together citizens and members of the municipal council around a shared meal in an informal setting. According to the city, the event is intended to create opportunities for conversation, exchange and connection between elected officials and residents outside of formal council meetings.
While municipal councils typically interact with the public through structured sessions and official consultations, events such as this provide a different format, one centered on accessibility and direct dialogue. By inviting residents to sit down with council members in a relaxed environment, the city is offering a space where questions, concerns and ideas can be discussed more informally.
Organizers describe the Sunday brunch setting as a way to encourage conviviality and strengthen community ties. The event is positioned as a spring gathering, with several time slots offered to accommodate as many participants as possible. This staggered format aims to increase access while maintaining manageable group sizes.
Participation is reserved exclusively for residents of Lorraine. Both adults and children are welcome, reflecting the city’s emphasis on inclusive community activities.
Although the event is social in nature, it also carries civic significance. Opportunities for direct interaction between elected officials and residents can help foster transparency, reinforce trust in local governance and encourage broader engagement in municipal life. In smaller municipalities in particular, such initiatives can contribute to a stronger sense of shared responsibility and belonging.
Additional details, including participation information and available time slots, are available through the city’s official communication channels.
