This proposal was selected because:

Hello,

Thank you for your contribution!

Your idea has been selected.

It is fully in line with the new schoolyard policy, which aims to make these spaces more accessible to neighborhoods by listening to the needs of the community. For example, this policy emphasizes opening schoolyards to neighborhoods by creating inclusive, fun, and welcoming spaces, which aligns with the spirit of your proposal to add a drinking water fountain.

As part of the rollout of the new school signage planned for next year, a feasibility study will be conducted regarding the installation of these water fountains. It will also be necessary to take into account nearby heritage sites, particularly the Category 2-listed park, which means that any additions must respect the integrity of the site and its historical and architectural constraints.

Best regards,

The “Boîte à idées” Team

Water station at the basketball and soccer fields at the Elysée

Selected

1. Context:

The basketball and soccer courts at the Elysée are often used by children outside of school hours. These courts lack a nearby drinking water fountain (the closest one is located near the stairs at the Olympic Museum).

--------------------

2. Proposal:

The City could add a drinking water fountain to these outdoor play areas (similar to those found at the Olympic Museum, for example).

--------------------

3. Motivation:

Residents, especially children, will be able to enjoy easy access to fresh, high-quality water to cool off while playing sports outdoors. Additionally, this would encourage people to bring reusable containers and avoid drinking sugary beverages they might bring with them.
