One Year In: First Things First, With Our Neighbourhoods at the Heart of Our Work

LAVAL, November 5, 2026 – One year ago, Laval residents placed their trust in Mouvement lavallois to focus on what matters most: solid infrastructure, quality municipal services and neighbourhoods where life is good. One year later, our team is on the job, and projects are moving forward in every part of the city. Our four priorities guide this work.

An efficient, well-managed and prosperous city

We have launched a major municipal efficiency initiative to optimize the City’s resources and make the municipal administration more effective. Our goal is to deliver more services for every dollar invested. Mouvement lavallois is fully aware of the economic pressures facing families and businesses. That is precisely why we are focused on rigorous management of public finances and on innovative, efficient programs. We are investing where it counts, while respecting taxpayers’ ability to pay.

Innovation is central to our ambitions. New technologies, fresh approaches and creative partnerships allow us to improve services, drive development and strengthen Laval’s appeal. As Quebec’s third-largest city, Laval continues to speak up forcefully to advance the major issues that will shape its future.

Clean and safe neighbourhoods

Our focus remains on the essentials. Numerous projects are under way to modernize what keeps Laval running day to day: our streets, our water and sewer systems, and our municipal facilities. These investments do not always make headlines, but they are indispensable. They ensure reliable services, protect our neighbourhoods and lay the foundation for a healthy city for generations to come. At the same time, we are pursuing our efforts to keep our neighbourhoods clean and to increase presence on the ground, for everyone’s safety.

Green, human-scale neighbourhoods

Quality of life starts close to home. That is why we are also investing in our neighbourhoods: parks, playgrounds, sports facilities, green spaces and local cultural venues. Throughout Laval, we want welcoming, accessible communities designed for families, young people and seniors.

Building on our momentum

This first year shows our resolve to build a city that is ambitious, efficient and attentive to its residents. We are investing in what truly matters: infrastructure, local services, green spaces, safety and the places where we live. And we are doing so while preserving the City’s financial health through rigorous management of public funds.

At Mouvement lavallois, we believe a strong city is built on responsible choices, sustainable investments and a clear vision for the future. That is why we are continuing our work with the same determination: delivering tangible results today while preparing the Laval of tomorrow.

By investing in the essentials, we are making a real difference in our neighbourhoods. And our commitment remains the same: making you proud.
