Participatory budget
Ville de Métis-sur-Mer

Context

In 2020, the Town of Métis-sur-Mer has decided to involve its citizens in certain areas of municipal management. Constantly looking for projects to energize our community, we want to invite citizens of Métis-sur-Mer to submit ideas related to recreation and culture. As a result of the analysis and selection of the received projects, the Town is committed to put all needs in place for the achievement of one of these projects, as soon as possible. The purpose of this participatory budget is to provide an opportunity for citizens to present to the Métis-sur-Mer Council a project important for them.

Procedure

The call for projects will begin on March 1 and citizens will be able to submit their project until June 1, 2020. A selection committee will be created to judge each project according to pre-established criteria. Participants may be invited to present their project in more detail. The project chosen by the selection committee must be completed within the year 2020. The selection committee is committed to identify a winning project by July 1, 2020. In addition to seeing his project completed, the person who submitted it will be invited to participate in the realization of it.
