This action plan, adopted by the City of Rouyn-Noranda, aims to foster the welcoming, integration, and sustainable settlement of new residents. It focuses on three key orientations: promoting the development and well-being of new Rouynorandians, strengthening collaboration and partnerships among all stakeholders, and facilitating access to information and services. The plan seeks to build an inclusive community where new arrivals thrive and contribute to shared progress.

Le conseil a traité divers dossiers, notamment l'adoption de résolutions pour des dérogations mineures concernant des écrans d'intimité, des garages accessoires et des usages de physiothérapie à domicile. Plusieurs contrats ont été octroyés pour des services de télécommunication, des travaux forestiers et la réalisation de plans d'évacuation. La gestion du personnel inclut l'embauche d'étudiants pour des activités saisonnières, la nomination d'un lieutenant aux services d'incendie et l'embauche d'une ingénieure junior. De plus, une vente de terrain à des fins résidentielles a été autorisée dans le quartier de Cadillac.

This action plan outlines the commitment of the Ville de Rouyn-Noranda to foster an inclusive community where all individuals can participate fully, regardless of their abilities. It aims to reduce barriers and enhance accessibility across eight key municipal sectors: public spaces and buildings, housing, information and communication, transport and mobility, sports, leisure, culture and community life, public safety, municipal administration, and professional integration and social participation. The plan seeks to build an open, equitable, and adaptable city that serves as a model of sustainable inclusion, recognizing diversity as a strength.
