Since a municipality is responsible for providing public services such as sidewalks, water mains, sewers, etc., the proceedings of municipal councils can reveal the services available at a given time, and thus the lifestyle of an area's residents. Proceedings can also give clues to events or issues of neighbourhood importance. Council proceedings include Council minutes, reports to Council, and by-laws.

Proceedings for all former municipalities are available. To find them, search for your former municipality in the Gencat database. Please feel free to ask Reference Desk staff for assistance.
