Conference: Understanding Floods and Climate Change
Meet Marcel Roy from JFSA, a specialist in building protection methods against flooding. In this conference, presented in Beaconsfield on November 6, 2025, he shares his expertise on best practices to adopt in response to climate change.
Call for vigilance regarding the sewer lines in your sector
The Public Works department has noticed that certain sewer lines in your sector are blocked due to an accumulation of small branches and other small bits of debris which can only be there if they were purposefully put down the gaps in the sewer grates. Recently, the accumulation of debris has caused many sewer back-ups.
We would ask for your cooperation in stopping this recurring issue in your sector by asking you to inform your children and anyone else who you might see putting debris in the gaps in the sewer grates of the consequences of their actions.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Permit and request delays
Consult our list of some of the City of Beaconsfield’s most common permits and service requests, along with the typical processing times you can expect for each one.
Please note that this table is provided for information purposes only and is not an exhaustive list of all permits and requests available.
Flood prevention resources
With the increase of severe storms and a changing climate, your home is more and more at risk to flood and water damage. We have compiled flood-prevention resources and tips for you to live with water and the changing climate and protect your home.
- Use the Home Flood Protection Program checklist from the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation for cost-effective ways to protect your home. Available at homefloodprotect.ca/checkup.
- Learn more about protecting your home from flood damage from the conference Preparing for the future: living with water and protecting your home presented by Architecture Without Borders Quebec, as well as the accompanying guide. Find them both here.

- Make sure your sump pump drains to an appropriate location, such as your ditch, and not into the sanitary sewer system, which is prohibited and can cause sewer backups, or your neighbour's yard, which can cause flooding in your home and theirs. Learn more about your ditch here.

Infrastructure
Summer 2026 work
The road construction season is underway. Work scheduled for this period will doubtlessly cause temporary inconveniences. We urge all pedestrians, cyclists and motorists to take precautions around work sites. Drivers should be careful when approaching work on or near the road. The signs and protective barriers installed at these sites aim to protect workers and to facilitate traffic flow.
For more information, please call the Public Works technical support at 514 428-4500.
Storm Debby: torrential rain and floodings August 9 and 10, 2024
Preliminary Action Plan
Following the floodings of August 9, 2024, the City of Beaconsfield is committed to implementing an action plan to strengthen our community’s resilience to extreme weather events. This multi-phased plan is based on an in-depth analysis of the most vulnerable areas, raising public awareness, and implementing sustainable solutions to protect our infrastructure and homes. The steps outlined in the preliminary action plan demonstrate our commitment to act quickly while planning in an intelligent and collaborative manner.
Stormwater Drainage – Elm–Tower Area
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the technical analyses carried out, the work undertaken since 2024 and the next steps planned to improve stormwater management in this area, which is particularly vulnerable to heavy rainfall.
In the summer of 2026, the City will carry out a field measurement campaign to better quantify the volumes of water entering the area and to validate the ongoing analyses.
Construction of the Cultural Centre
Follow the progress of our future cultural centre as it takes shape. We’ll be sharing regular photos from the construction site so you can see this exciting project evolve from the ground up and watch each milestone unfold along the way.

Woodland intersection
The City of Beaconsfield has mandated the firm Shellex Groupe Conseil to redesign the Woodland Avenue corridor, between Beaurepaire Drive and Elm Avenue, including the intersections and Highway 20 ramps as well as the railway crossing. As part of this mandate, a transportation study was conducted to examine vehicle traffic, public transit, and active transportation modes. The study aimed to identify opportunities to improve operations and safety, and to recommend corrective measures to enhance the safety and functioning of the corridor. Its findings will be used to develop design options, from which a preferred solution will be selected.
The study is tabled without its appendices due to the volume of the documents.
The full study is available upon request at greffe-registry@beaconsfield.ca.
Recreation Centre renovations
Follow the evolution of the renovation of the Recreation Centre, which continues step by step. We will regularly share construction-site photos so you can see the progress made in each phase and watch the Centre transform as the work continues.
