On August 20, 2018, the Table des groupes de femmes de Montréal and other community group associations attended a Montreal City Council session at which the Déclaration de reconnaissance et de soutien aux organismes communautaires montréalais (Statement of Recognition and Support for Montreal Community Organizations) was passed. Rosannie Filato, Responsable du développement social et communautaire, de l’itinérance, de la jeunesse, de la condition féminine et des sports et loisirs (Chief of social and community development, homelessness, youth, status of women, and sports and recreation), took the occasion to announce that the City intends to adopt an official policy of support and recognition for community organizations. A consultation process will be put in place beforehand.
