The 2025 municipal calendar is set to be distributed door-to-door by Canada Post by the beginning of next week. In the meantime, residents can access a digital version of the calendar on the City’s website. Officials appreciate the public’s patience and understanding as the distribution process takes place. The municipal calendar serves as an essential resource, keeping residents informed about community events, initiatives, and civic responsibilities throughout the year.
As part of this year’s efforts to foster community engagement and youth development, a skateboarding and scooter workshop will take place on Wednesday, March 5, providing children and youth with an opportunity to explore these action sports. The event, led by the experienced TAZ team, aims to introduce participants to the fundamentals in a fun and dynamic setting, while also promoting an active and healthy lifestyle.
By providing a structured and inclusive environment, the workshop not only encourages physical activity but also reinforces values of perseverance, teamwork, and confidence. The initiative reflects the city’s commitment to investing in programs that enhance the well-being of young residents and create opportunities for social interaction and skill-building.
The workshop is designed for both beginners and those looking to improve their skills. Experienced instructors will guide participants through essential techniques in a safe and engaging environment. Equipment will be available on-site for those without their own, though all attendees are required to bring their own helmets for safety reasons.
Registration for the event is available through the City’s website under the “Inscriptions” section. Due to anticipated high demand, early registration is recommended.
With an emphasis on physical activity, civic engagement, and personal development, this Spring Break event promises to be a highlight of the seasonal calendar. By offering young participants an exciting and educational experience, Deux-Montagnes continues to reinforce the importance of accessible and meaningful community programs.

The Blue Line Extension Project remains committed to fostering meaningful connections with the residents of Montréal’s eastern neighborhoods. As this transformative initiative progresses, a series of upcoming events will provide valuable opportunities for citizens to engage directly with the project team, ask questions, and stay informed about the next steps. These interactions are crucial in ensuring that the extension reflects the needs and aspirations of the community it serves.
One of the keyways the project team engages with the public is through information kiosks. Before the end of 2024, three such kiosks will be held at Le Boulevard Shopping Center on Jean-Talon Street East, opposite Urban Planet. These kiosks are designed to offer updates on the project’s progress, answer questions, and gather feedback from residents. The kiosks will take place on Thursday, November 28, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM; Friday, December 6, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM; and Monday, December 16, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Citizens are welcome to attend at their convenience, with no need for appointments or prior notification. Members of the project team will be on-site to ensure a welcoming and informative experience.
While these upcoming events reflect the project’s dedication to maintaining transparency and collaboration, the Blue Line Extension team has a strong history of community engagement. In the past, the team has actively participated in neighborhood celebrations, including local festivals and open houses, where they connected with residents, listened to concerns, and provided insights into the project. Additionally, the team has taken part in exhibitions, such as Montréal of the Future, showcasing the plans for new stations alongside other transformative projects that promise to shape the city’s future. They have also hosted targeted information sessions for specific neighborhoods near the future Pie-IX station, offering detailed updates on infrastructure changes and the extension’s impact on local areas.
These past events have been instrumental in building community enthusiasm and trust, demonstrating the project’s commitment to revitalizing Montréal’s east end. With a focus on improving mobility, stimulating economic growth, and enhancing the quality of life for residents, the Blue Line Extension is a collaborative effort built on dialogue and shared goals.
