The Town of Dollard-de-Ormeaux (DDO) on Montreal s West Island has formally requested that the province maintain its bilingual status a move that Mayor Alex Bottausci said saddens him. It saddens me that this legal process must be invoked to protect the inherent right of our residents to receive communications in the language of their choice.
The vote results, which in the case of Pierrefonds-Roxboro must still be confirmed by Montreal city council, mean the cities and boroughs will continue to communicate in both English and French and maintain a budget for bilingual services.
