CDN-NDG council meetings
Dates have been released for all of the 2010 Côte des Neiges-NDG borough council meetings. The first meeting took place Monday at the Cummings Centre (5151 Côte Ste. Catherine Rd.), where most of them will be held. Any borough resident can attend the meetings and ask questions to their elected officials. Meetings begin at 7 p.m., but those wishing to speak must register between 6:15 and 6:45 p.m. Typically, most residents who wish to speak have the opportunity to do so; if there are too many questions registered, a random draw will determine who can participate. The gatherings will take place on the following dates: Feb. 3, March 1, April 12 (at Manoir NDG, 5319 Notre Dame de Grâce Ave.), May 3, June 7, June 28, Aug. 2, Sept. 7, Oct. 4, Nov. 1 and Dec. 6 (at Monkland Community Centre, 4410 West Hill Ave.). ?
