Can Laval cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% in the next five years? Does the city need composting and biomethanation centres and where would they go? What kind of containers do citizens want to use for garbage, compost and other waste?<\/p>\n

Monday, November 12 is the deadline for submitting answers to these questions to the city.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all part of an official process towards creating a five year strategic plan (2012 until 2017) for waste reduction in Laval.<\/p>\n

A 40-page document on the Laval city website outlines the steps the city believes are necessary over the next five years.<\/p>\n

An official consultation will also take place on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at Pavillion Bois Papineau, 3235 blvd. St. Martin east, room 10. Organizations will present at assigned times in the afternoon, while an open public hearing will occur from 7 until 10 p.m. in the evening.<\/p>\n

City officials and experts will attend, but the meeting itself will be led by two commissioners from the public office of consultation, Luc Ouimet and Jean Hubert.<\/p>\n

After the hearings, the city plans to hire a neutral consultant who can prepare a report and present a proposed strategic plan.<\/p>\n

Any organization or citizen can participate by sending a memorandum by email to pgmr@ville.laval.qc.ca<\/a> or by mail to memorandum pgmr, 1 place du souvenir, c.p. 422, succ. St. Martin, Laval, H7V 3Z4.<\/p>\n
