"SLSDC"

The committee reviews minutes from previous meetings and discusses progress on action items, specifically regarding the integration of policies from the *Service des loisirs, des sports et du développement communautaire* (SLSDC).

The Commission received a presentation on the 'Opportunity File' process, a new approach for the SLSDC to manage infrastructure projects and partnerships more effectively through rigorous evaluation and project management practices.

Opening remarks provided by the department leadership and the chairs of the various commissions involved in this joint session.

The Commission recommends that City Council adopt the new 2025-2030 Urban Outdoor Action Plan. This five-year plan aims to improve urban outdoor activities through four strategic orientations, focusing on environmental sustainability, citizen engagement, and operational efficiency.

The minutes were filed, and a follow-up was provided regarding a request from pétanque organizations. The City clarified that while pétanque is included in the Master Plan for summer sports, it is not recognized for winter indoor play, effectively closing the file for the Recreation, Sports, and Community Development Department.

A representative for pétanque organizations requested the relocation of the boulodrome and its inclusion in the city's recreational infrastructure master plan. The city administration committed to meeting with the group to discuss these concerns and the integration of the facility into the master plan.

The Commission reviewed the 2023-2024 outdoor skating rink season, which was shortened by climate change. The city is evaluating its deployment plan to ensure future efficiency, equity, and climate adaptation, with a new plan expected in 2025.

The Commission reviewed the progress of the municipal strategy to support volunteerism. They recommended that the City Council approve Phase 1 of the strategy, which focuses on consolidating support within the SLSDC without requiring immediate budget adjustments.
