Description
The Town of Très-Saint-Rédempteur will develop a strategic sustainable development plan and an accompanying special planning program. Under the guidance of a steering committee, the town will analyze factual data, prepare a working document, hold public consultation sessions, and apply a variety of revitalization measures, providing social and economic benefits for the community. New young and active residents are expected to settle in the town, and the population of older residents will be stabilized owing to a higher supply of multi-generational housing units. Religious buildings will be rehabilitated to enhance their energy efficiency and promote culture in the community, while local businesses and services will be established. Riding, cycling and hiking trails will be developed. A carpooling system, along with principles of sustainable housing development, will also be implemented. Collectively, these initiatives will reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, improve soil and water quality, reduce visual and olfactory pollution, and protect the water table.
