Our Platform

𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐬, Some might say, “it's about time!” However the wait has been worth it. This platforms reflects the concerns and aspirations of so many Dorvalians that we have spoken to. Over the past weeks, our Démocratie Dorval Democracy team has taken the time to meet, listen and connect, through Meet & Greets, door-to-door visits and other encounters with Dorvalians. Our platform is built on community values, completes our previously published priorities and statements, such as our Truth and Reconciliation commitments and our Older Persons statement to join our evolving program, turning shared values into clear, actionable city policies. Dorval now deserves a government that listens and works for you and with you. #dorval #election2025 #démocratiedorvaldemocracy #dorval2025 #respectcompétenceresponsibilté #commauntédabord #communityfirst #lavoixdescitoyens
