The mayor, Miss Pascale Blais, is present in all the fields of competence and also serves on the following committees:

• Agricultural Advisory Committee – MRC des Laurentides
• Committee “Cultural Policy” – MRC des Laurentides
• Régie Intermunicipal des déchets de la Rouge (RIDR)

The Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) is a committee mandated by the City Council to provide advice on applications submitted to it in terms of urban planning and land use.

The PAC is a working group composed of the mayor, two (2) members of the City Council and three (3) residents selected by the council. The General-director and the building inspector sit on this committee to guide, direct and support its urban planning action.

The recommendations and opinions of the PAC allows the City Council to benefit from the contribution of elected officials and citizens, who can share their experience of living in the municipality and their particular concerns for the development of their territory. The creation of a PAC allows citizens chosen by the Council to participate in urban planning.

Although the PAC is basically an advisory body without any decision-making power, it plays an undeniable role in the mission of planning and administrating municipal territory.  Provincial law has established as an essential condition for approval of the following matters, that municipal councils must obtain prior recommendations from PACs, in order to exercise their discretional powers.

Matters subject to PAC recommendations:

• minor variance,
• comprehensive development program,
• site planning and architectural integration program (SPAIP),
• application for approval of a conditional use or a specific construction,
• alteration or occupancy of a building,
• construction or subdivision projects subject to certain constraints;
