The City of Boisbriand adhered to the recently launched campaign by the Union of Quebec Municipalities (UMQ) under the theme “Democracy with respect, out of respect for democracy” .
“The City of Boisbriand, like many other cities in Quebec, fully adheres to this declaration of commitment to democracy and respect. I say this with emotion because no one is ever completely safe from being bullied. We may not share the same opinion, but we should always be able to debate with respect the issues of our society in the political and public space, including social media”, said the mayor, Marlene Cordato.
An action plan, including around ten awareness and support measures for municipalities and the public, is added to the UMQ campaign. Various actions stemming from this plan will also be deployed during the year.
“In my name and that of all my elected colleagues, I welcome the initiative of the UMQ and I hope that this first step towards greater respect for democracy will find an echo in all the cities and municipalities of Quebec”, concluded the mayoress.
