"LEED"

Council approved the architectural and site plan for the new 'Complexe multifonctionnel de l'Ouest' at 275 du Plateau Boulevard. The project aims for LEED Gold certification and aligns with the city's climate plan for sustainable infrastructure.

Council approves a minor variance for a LEED-certified commercial building at 810, chemin d'Aylmer, reducing the required depth for tree planting and landscaping along the road from 25 m to 20 m.

Council approved the construction of a three-story commercial building at 810, chemin d'Aylmer in the Connaught Eco-district. The project aims for LEED Silver certification and requires a minor zoning variance alongside the PIIA approval.

The committee received a progress report on the new police headquarters and the Aylmer service point. The headquarters project at 975 Saint-Joseph and 80 Jean-Proulx aims for LEED Gold certification, with demolition scheduled for fall 2025. The Aylmer service point is under construction with an expected completion date in 2027.

This item approves a $21,960.23 cost increase for WSP Canada inc. for LEED-accredited professional services related to the new police station in the Aylmer sector.

The city is seeking to continue its LEED for Cities and Communities certification process with the US Green Building Council as part of its ongoing Climate Plan initiatives.

The committee recommends increasing the operating budget for the Lucy-Faris Library (located in the Constance Provost building) starting in 2025, with further increases in 2026. This funding will support enhanced services, including personalized outreach for marginalized and aging populations, and will be integrated into the city's budget planning for future years.
