A borough council is composed of no fewer than five councillors, both borough and city councillors and each borough is managed by a director who reports to the borough council. Borough councillors only sit on their borough council and city councillors sit on both their city and borough council.
More specifically, in the 19 boroughs and in the 58 electoral districts, there are 103 elective offices: the city mayor, who is also the mayor of the borough of Ville-Marie; 18 borough mayors, who are also city councillors; 46 other city councillors and 38 borough councillors.
Each borough has its own budget and each borough offers direct services to the population. Therefore, and in accordance with the Montreal City Charter, eachborough council has, for the borough, jurisdiction over specific matters such as urban planning, waste collection, culture, recreation, social an community development, parks, roads, housing, human resources, fire prevention, non-taxation fees and financial management.
The team seeks to provide Montréal with strong leadership and to link strategic activities to economic development, major projects, urban planning, snow removal and traffic.
Vision Montréal is now the official opposition at City Hall.
The team is focused on quality of life, diversity, community involvement, respect for the environment; a project that fosters a prosperous and fair economy, all within citizens’ means.
