Speaker(s)
With a master's degree in urban planning, Liane Morin has been working in the borough of Ahuntsic–Cartierville for eight years and has fifteen years of experience in public participation. She places citizen involvement in decisions that shape their living environment at the heart of her practice. For her, opening up public administration to this participation is an essential lever for ensuring the success and legitimacy of projects.
Sybil holds a master's degree in environment and sustainable development, with a specialization in land use planning. She is dedicated to promoting the common good by integrating climate change adaptation and community resilience issues into urban practices.
Her work focuses on the design and implementation of projects that promote socio-ecological transition and the development of sustainable living environments. Convinced of the physical and psychological benefits of creating green and comprehensive living environments, Sybil advocates approaches based on urban compactness and soft mobility. She incorporates the principles of mesology into her work, emphasizing the links between nature, the history of territories, and quality of life, while ensuring that inequalities are reduced and social connections are strengthened.
Irène Cloutier is a planning advisor and head of climate resilience issues at the City of Montreal's Office of Ecological Transition and Resilience (BTER). Since 2016, she has been involved in developing the 2020-2030 Climate Plan (2020) and the Montreal Strategy for a Resilient City (2018). She coordinates the monitoring and implementation of actions related to community climate resilience and supports her colleagues at the City in adapting municipal infrastructure to climate change. She participates in several committees and projects aimed at promoting greater equity in the face of climate hazards and the development of social capital as a vector of resilience in Montréal neighborhoods.
