Further searching took me to a <a href=\"http:\/\/applicatif.ville.montreal.qc.ca\/som-fr\/pdf_avis\/pdfav10223.pdf\">press release<\/a> with the exact same text on the City of Montreal web page (pdf). Based on these descriptions, it sounds like the city and Youth Council are following the formula where where audience members take turns on the microphone addressing a panel of elected officials. The press release promises that introductory documentation about this consultation is available at the Acc\u00e8s Montr\u00e9al offices or on these websites: www.ville.montreal.qc.ca\/commissions and www.ville.montreal.qc.ca\/cjm.\u00a0 As far as I can tell, the first site has no clear connection and the second is a dead link.<\/p>\n<p>Any ideas come to mind on how the City might improve communication with youth?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of Montreal, in collaboration with Montreal&#8217;s Youth Council, is holding a series of public consultations to evaluate the lines of communication between the youth and the City.
