Normand (District 7/Desrochers) A YEAR FOCUSED ON FAMILY The City of Vaudreuil-Dorion is pleased to be launching its family policy in the spring of 2021—more specifically during Quebec Family Week. At the end of last summer, we asked citizens to complete an online survey and approached various targeted groups to ask them to share their needs and concerns regarding family. All of your thoughts and ideas have been gathered and will be used to draft the family policy, intended to help guide the actions taken by the City and by the many organizations working for you within the territory of Vaudreuil-Dorion. Please note that the City will also obtain MADA (Senior Friendly Municipality) recognition in the interest of getting our entire community mobilized and working together. This year’s calendar was made possible in part by the participation of our youth in the City’s day camps. We would like to thank them all for taking part in a drawing contest under the theme of The Family. Among the hundreds of wonderful drawings produced by the children, twelve were selected to illustrate the 2021 calendar. Congratulations to these twelve up-and-coming artists! The cover page is a montage of elements from various drawings. You will notice that this year’s calendar does not include activities proposed by the City’s different departments. Given the current pandemic context, it is difficult to plan for these activities several months ahead of time, considering we are unsure what will be permitted in accordance with government guidelines. Therefore, we invite you to regularly visit the City’s Web site and follow our Facebook page to stay informed of activities that will be planned over the coming months. Rest assured that we will make every effort to ensure you are provided with activities that will be carried out in a safe environment. Happy New Year! May 2021 be filled with health and happiness!
