SUMMARY

Town of Mount Royal Information MagazineDecember 2006 | volume 01 no.02

��

��

Mayor’s MessageThe program of special events offered to residents this year wasmost popular and thoroughly enjoyable; the Concerts in the Parkseries attracted record numbers of participants. Our Summer Festand Fall Fair scored record highs in attendance; each eventwelcomed between four and five thousand active participants ofall ages. It must be noted that our young families truly tookadvantage of the great variety of entertainment and activities.

Council commends « la Table ronde sur l’art de Mont-Royal » (TRAM)for a new addition to the Fall Fair with a sale of miniature worksof art which contributed much-needed funds to the Town’sVolunteer Centre. This innovative initiative on the part of TRAMwas most enjoyable while supporting a truly praiseworthy cause.It also must be noted that TRAM’s three-day fall exhibition wasa great success with the quality surpassing itself from year to year.The addition of most creative works by our talented local secondaryschool students was a joy to behold. BRAVO!

The more challenging part of 2006 had to be the transition to ourreconstituted municipality and dealing of the new regime of theAgglomeration Council with the imposition of two tax bills. Sincemid-August, Council along with senior staff have been preparingthe 2007 budget, which is a priority at this time of year. We willpresent a balanced budget and, hopefully, one which will maintainstability with the present year. Every effort will be made to cushionthe effects of the new assessment roll.

On behalf of Council, I wish each and every citizen of our Townhappiness, peace and serenity for the Holiday Season and especiallythroughout the New Year 2007.

As we approach the wonderful Holiday Season and the dawning of the New Year, it isappropriate that Town Council bring you another issue of its Information Magazine. It seems unimaginable that the first year of the present Council’s term has slipped by so quickly; it certainly has been an exciting and busy year.

Vera Danyluk, Mayor

FLASH ON TOWN COUNCILCOMMITTEESWe are approaching the end of 2006, a year that really marked a new era for our Town.

The new Planning Advisory Committee ( CCU ) got to work with great determination and 2006 is a remarkable year in terms of residential development. Up to November 1, 2006, the Townissued 625 construction and renovation permits, which represents a 20% increase over the previousyear for an estimated 30 million dollars in development costs.

Among the files handled, 18% involved enlarging backyards or new construction, 34% involvedreplacing an architectural component on the façade, 18% involved adding a full or partial floor andthe rest involved various renovations.

The CCU also reviewed requests for minor derogations. There were 5 in all, down from 2005.

Several projects had to be studied several times, in order to allow the proposals that were submitted.Over 28% of the files submitted to the Committee were the object of more than one work sitting,compared to 34% in 2005. Adjustments to regulations, PIIA information sessions and theimplementation of online by-laws should, no doubt, enable that proportion to be even further reduced.

The number of commercial and industrial files decreased by approximately 20%, but the estimatedcost of the work remains the same, at about 20 million dollars.

To finish things off, 226 new families settled in our Town. We welcome these new residents and we also thank all those involved, closely or from afar, in our Town’s development.

The Committee will of course pursue its sustainable development policy in 2007, particularly in the area of architectural and urban development.

May the New Year bring happiness, health and prosperity to you and your families.

Happy New Year to all.

Committee

The Joint Committee on Town Centre ended itsmeetings by making a number of recommen-dations to Town Council. The committeemembers had the opportunity to meet withseveral merchants and business people, withwhom they exchanged opinions and ideas.

Revitalizing Town Centre will require com-mercial development that reflects the opinions ofthe consumers, as surveyed by the Léger Marketingfirm, in particular increasing the number andvariety of business establishments in the retail andfood-service segments.

The committee members addressed this need byproposing specific short and long-term measures. I hope that Town residents appreciated theflowerpots we had installed on the Town Centre

bridges. I would like to thank the committeemembers and their guests for helping to buildbridges—in more ways than one—between theresidents of our Town’s east and west sides.

Lastly, as we approach the most festive and joyfultime of the year, I want to take advantage of thisopportunity to wish our fellow citizens a holidayseason filled with wonder and delight.

As Chairman ofthe Heritage Committee I am privileged to workwith many groups and individuals who areinterested in developing and protecting thearchitectural, cultural and multicultural heritageof the Town.

New property assessment rolland defermentThe new triennial evaluation roll was tabled publicly on September 13, 2006, and will be effective January1, 2007. The increase on taxable property assessments in this roll is substantial. It represents an averageupward trend of 37.2% for the Town of Mount Royal and is comparable to the situation affecting the entireIsland of Montreal. These assessments were derived from sales transactions reflecting the true market valueas of July 1, 2005. The new assessment roll leads to uneven changes in property values in the Mount Royal area. Some sectors of the municipality will be subjected to an increase of over 50% compared to the previous triennial roll.

In order to attenuate the impact of the new roll coming into effect, Town Council has opted for thedeferment of changes in property value over a three-year period as permitted by the Act ConcerningMunicipal Taxation.*

Thus, the value used to set 2007 municipal taxes will be determined using the unit’s property value priorto the roll being tabled. Then, one-third of the newly tabled change in value will be added or subtracted,depending on whether the value increases or decreases. That value is known as the adjusted value.

In 2008, two-thirds of the change will be added or subtracted, as need be.

In 2009, the total change will apply; the roll value will determine the amount of municipal tax.

The following example illustrates the calculation of the adjusted value of two properties. One property’sroll value was reassessed upwardly, while the other decreased.

You can consult the new roll of property values in order to obtain the newly-assessed evaluation on yourhome by visiting the Town Hall at 90 Roosevelt Avenue during regular business hours. This roll is alsoavailable in electronic version in the evaluation section of the Direction de l’évaluation foncière de la Villede Montréal (D.E.F.V.M.) Website: http://services.ville.montreal.qc.ca/evaluation

If you do not agree with the assessment of your home

If you have serious reason to believe that the assessment for your property does not reflect its real marketvalue, you can request an administrative review by completing the appropriate D.E.F.V.M. form, which willbe available at Town Hall, located at 90 Roosevelt Avenue. The duly completed form as well as paymentof the required fee, which is not refundable, must be forwarded to the D.E.F.V.M. offices. However, beforetaking steps for a review, you may wish to consult with Mr. Stephan Jacques, the assessor responsible for the Mount Royal area.

Recently, you’ve probably noticed the appea-rance of «danger yellow» oval-shaped signs,unmistakably different from other local signs.

These new signs serve to mark out MountRoyal’s school corridors.

Since the Town of Mount Royal isalways committed to ensure the safety

of all its pedestrians, it decided to make a special effort for schoolchildren who walk tothe Town’s five elementary schools every day bysetting up a network of school corridors. Schoolcorridors are a network of streets chosen amongthose best suited to ensure the safety of thechildren who use them. To qualify as a schoolcorridor, a route must be studied from variousangles, including the children’s natural tendencyto use it, proper street lighting, the presence ofBlock Parent homes, surrounding traffic densityand crosswalk safety, for example.

With proper signs, school corridors will nowenable schoolchildren to better identify the safestroutes to use when walking to Town schoolseveryday. As for motorists, aware of the existenceof a school corridor, they can exercise morecaution and contribute even more to the safetyof the specially designed routes.

The creation and implementation of MountRoyal school corridors is the result of a collaborative effort made by the Town, its elementary schools, the Montreal PoliceDepartment and Mount Royal Public Security,each having contributed to identifying the safestroutes.

It will now be up to Mount Royal’s elementaryschools to provide their students with a map ofthe various school corridors that they can use.The five schools will also insist on the precautionsto take for a safe return home. To that end, theschools will partner up with Public Security andthe Police Department in a new effort to promotepedestrian safety awareness.

Different signs serve to mark out school corridors set up near elementary schools

to the prestigious building,originally built in 1787 andwhich is now accessible for allof our gourmet needs.

The launch followed a firstopening of the Caffe–Gelato,attached to the main building,last July. Once again, as was thecase last summer, the results ofthe renovations to the mainroom are spectacular and thecuisine proposed by ExecutiveChef Armando, originally fromRome, is absolutely exquisite.

La Villa Armando offers a variedmenu well suited for businessmeetings, family dinners orromantic evenings.

We should point out that thequality of the business proposalpresented by Mrs. Boilard andMr. Risa caught the attention ofthe Town of Mount Royal lastspring when a call for tenderswas made for the rental and useof the heritage-style building,which the Town has ownedsince the 1970’s.

Mrs. Erin Kennedy and Mr. Fouad Sahyoun,Town Councillors and co-chairs of theCommittee for Culture, Sports, Recreation andCommunity Services, wish to thank the 1001residents who agreed to devote a few minutes oftheir valuable time to answer the questions of theCROP pollsters.

The main goal of the survey, drawn up with thehelp of the Committee members, was tocharacterize current and future use of Townrecreation services. The survey also hoped to pinpoint the various clienteles and theirrespective priorities, both in terms of pro-gramming of activities and investment ininfrastructures.

Among the many significant results obtained asa result of this survey, the following points topthe list:

- The parks (42 %), the pool (36 %) and the library(25 %) are the most frequented facilities.

- Over two-thirds (68 %) of residents have takenpart in the Town’s recreation, cultural and sportsactivities programs over the past 12 months.

- Of all the activities that respondents and theirfamily have taken part in over the past 12months, sports activities programs top the list(42 %), followed by classes and training (14 %),library activities (14 %) and cultural activitiesprograms (13 %).

- The library enjoys a high rate of use (77 %) byrespondents. Of that number, 38 % point outthat they use the library on a regular basis. The loan/reservation/transfer department staff(97% satisfaction) and interior arrangement(91% satisfaction) are the most satisfying aspectsaccording to users.

- Among the priorities of action brought out byrespondents, investments for better access to anindoor pool (20 %) and for enlarging the library(17 %) top the list.

- 57 % of respondents say that they are in favourof building a community centre for arts and culture. If such a centre were to open, 60 % of respondents intend to frequent it. That percentage is higher among youngerrespondents and among new Town residents.

The many results gathered from the survey willenable the Town to continue to positionrecreation, cultural and sports activities asimportant parts of the Mount Royal community,both now and for many years to come.

lights and decorative shutters,and a three-window dormerthat adds relief and flair to theroof. The chimney’s checkeredpattern contributes colour andcharacter to the main body ofthe house. In rhythm with theseasons, moveable elementsallow the original front vestibuleto be transformed into a summerporch.

Organized in cooperation withthe Héritage Montréal Foun-dation, the competition aims

first and foremost to honourowners and occupants whomaintain, enhance and preservetheir buildings while enablingthe residents of Mount Royaland all of Montréal to becomeacquainted with these architec-tural treasures.

ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Helpful hints WITH WINTER UPON US, HERE ARE A FEWUSEFUL TIPS TO REDUCE YOUR ENERGYCONSUMPTION. • Seal your windows, install proper weather stripping around your doors. This will enable you

to save money on heating, as well as lower your energy consumption. The Office of Energy Efficiency of Natural Resources Canada provides excellent tips. www.oee.nrcan.gc.ca

• Take advantage of home visits by energy efficiency agents. They can offer advice on minor workthat is needed in your dwelling or your house, or they can also provide a complete energy analysis.By becoming eco-efficient, not only are you reducing your impact on the environment, but youare also saving money while improving your home comfort. For more information, visit l’Agenced’efficacité énergétique du Québec. www.aee.gouv.qc.ca

• Improve your home’s insulation. Properly insulating your attic or your basement can save you up to 30 % off your electricity bill.

• When you go to bed or when you’re away, lowering the thermostat by three degrees allows for optimal savings.

• Leave the curtains open on winter days and make sure that you close them at night. It’s easy to doand enables you to save significantly, up to 5 %.

• If you need to buy a new electrical device, make sure that you choose a device that meets the Energy Star high efficiency requirements. You can also pick up the Énerguide document.www.oee.nrcan.gc.ca

• Turn off your dishwasher for the drying cycle. Just leave the door open and let the dishes dry inthe open air.

• Use low-consumption compact fluorescent bulbs (energy savers). You’ll save up to $30 a year andclose to one third of a ton of greenhouse gas emissions.

• Carefully sort garbage to favour the recycling of material, in order to reduce waste in the atmospherelinked to waste dumping. To find out more about recycling and its benefits, please consult the Recyc-Québec Website. www.recyc-quebec.gouv.qc.ca

• Elect to compost with plant waste. It will provide you with natural fertilizer for your plants or yourgarden. The Town of Mount Royal offers its residents the opportunity to obtain a Soil Saver homecomposter at a cost of $45. To get one, please call Stéphanie Roy at 514 734-3037.

• Consume local products. The food that you eat travels an average of between 2,500 and 4,000 kmbefore it gets to your plate. To learn more about food transportation, read Laure Waridel’s book,« L’envers de l’assiette, et quelques idées pour la remettre à l’endroit », published by Éditions Éco-Société. For more information, consult Équiterre. www.equiterre.org

• Should you take a bath or a shower? Choose the shower. Filling a 200 litre bathtub to half itscapacity requires 50 % more hot water than a 7 minute shower at a flow-rate of 9.5 litres per minute.Shorten your shower by a few minutes and install a low flow-rate showerhead. For more information,consult the Hydro-Québec Website. www.hydroquebec.com

• Plant trees or shrubs: they absorb CO2 and contribute to stabilizing the climate.

A NEW WEB SITEThe Town of Mount-Royalplans to launch its new Website at winter’s end.

The site will provide visitorswith easier and more completeaccess to Council activitiesand to the Town’s regularservices, particularly by wayof Web ergonomics that are reviewed and correctedin keeping with today’sstandards.

Our new Web site, which will be upgradable from the outset, will be calledupon not only to continueto provide a more dynamicpresentation of its contentto u s e r s , b u t a ls o togradually enrich its range of online services, called e-services.

In doing so, the Town’sgreatest hope is to provideresidents and businesseswith more autonomy. Our e-services will benefit fromhigh technology that willenable users, in the mediumterm, to register online forour activities, obtain and fill out certain forms elec-tronically or consult aninteractive map, for example,if need be.

The Town has enlisted theexpertise of Nurun, a companythat specializes in interactivemedia design, to providesupport for this project.Nurun has an impressivetrack record of achieve-ments in the public andparagovernmental areas.

Please note that the new sitewill retain the current Town of Mount Royal site’saddress and will replace, assoon as it goes online, allforms of past Web content.So you will always be able tovisit us at www.town.mount-royal.qc.ca, regardless oft h e t ra n s i t i o n t h at i sunderway.

Made up of ecological solutions specialist Frederic Abrahamand « green » patroller Simon Auger, our environmentalbrigade walked and biked the streets of Mount Royalthroughout the summer of 2006, offering residents soundadvice, free of charge, on how to protect the environment.

During that same period, the interventions targeted by our twostudents also provided an opportunity to offer greater support tobusinesses in the industrial sector when it comes to new recyclinginitiatives, as well as to continue the “Dragnet” operation, whichis the distribution and installation of nets that hold recyclablematerial in place in the recycling bins used in the residential sector.

The brigade was particularly active through its contribution to theefforts made by the Town of Mount Royal to promote sustainabledevelopment. The brigade was involved in information workshopsabout recycling, composting and the use of ecological methods asan alternative to pesticides. It was also on hand at special events,such as Summerfest and certain theme activities organized by theday camps.

It finally seems that awareness campaigns dealing with the use ofpesticides, which started in the summer of 2004, are starting topay off. During the beautiful season, although to a lesser extent,citizens continued to call upon the advice of the ecological solutionsspecialist in order to come up with alternatives to using pesticides.So the Town of Mount Royal’s “green” ideology not only stirs upreal interest, but also meets a very concrete need, a need that isfelt more and more by its residents.
