In 2021, our administration was marked by numerous challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these constraints, Saint-Laurent succeeded in maintaining essential services without losing sight of its main priorities with the adoption, for example, of a strategic plan and a climate emergency plan, all while responsibly managing its resources.
