I strongly urge my constituents and all of Côte Saint-Luc to subscribe to our free e-newsletter. You can register to receive the e-newsletter using the form near the top left side of every page of the Côte Saint-Luc website at www.CoteSaintLuc.org. The only information required is an e-mail address. No personal information is collected.

We would like to communicate important information to as many residents as possible. Sending messages by e-mail is cost-effective and extremely quick. The e-newsletter does not replace our traditional communications, such as standard mass mailings or newspaper ads because we know not all residents use e-mail. These e-mail alerts simply enhance what we already do.

Côte Saint-Luc has been sending announcements by e-mail for more than a year on issues such as lane closures, special events and other practical information.

Current subscribers appreciate the service. For instance, we received several e-mail replies last December from residents who thanked us for letting them know about holiday office hours and changes to the garbage collection schedule.

On a personal note I am finding that more and more of my constituents are communicating with me via e-mail.
