Having stood out on the local scene by carrying out a major project or defending a cause that is particularly important to the community;
Having been deceased for at least two years.
4.2. In memory of an event that will have greatly marked the community.
In the case of certain parks or spaces whose name is associated with local organizations, any changes must be made in collaboration with the organizations concerned.
The City of Dolbeau-Mistassini will allow citizens at any time to submit nominations to honor new personalities based on the criteria of this category.
Process and general eligibility
The program has five categories for which criteria are defined.
1. Enhancement of current names
2. New developments
3. Naming of public buildings and major infrastructures
4. Parks and green spaces
5. Forecourt of starry blueberries
In all cases, it is the municipal council that makes the decision to rename a building, an infrastructure, a green space or any other place under its jurisdiction. The latter may consult the community and, when applicable, must formalize its procedures with the Commission de toponymie du Québec. As soon as it is adopted in 2017, the City will provide citizens with web forms to suggest the candidacy of new personalities for categories 4 and 5.
With regard to categories 3, 4 and 5, each toponymic recognition or commemoration action will be accompanied by a civic reception and the signing of the City's guestbook. In addition, the City of Dolbeau-Mistassini will take steps to allow citizens to have access to the biography of the personalities thus honored, in particular by posting them in the Bank of Place Names of Québec, on the site of the Commission de toponymie.
General eligibility requirements:
To be eligible for any category of this program, a person must be considered a Dolmissoise or a Dolmissois. For the purposes of this document, a Dolmissoise is a person born in Dolbeau-Mistassini, who has lived there or who has evolved within a local group for at least 10 years.
Category of interventions
1. Highlighting current names
Several streets in Dolbeau-Mistassini already bear names reflecting the history of the city. The first category of this program will consist of highlighting current odonyms, thanks to the collaboration of the Maria-Chapdelaine History and Genealogy Society.
The City of Dolbeau-Mistassini will therefore take the following measures:
Formalize the origin of the names of thoroughfares with the Commission de toponymie du Québec and ensure their distribution in the Bank of place names of Québec.
Allow the History and Genealogy Society to publish and sell a guide listing all the odonyms of the city of Dolbeau-Mistassini.
To consult the list of official toponyms in Dolbeau-Mistassini, consult the website of the Commission de toponymie du Québec .
2. New developments
When the previously developed urban planning logic allows it, the choice of street names for new developments gives preponderance to the pioneers of Dolbeau-Mistassini who contributed in its beginnings to founding the former towns of Dolbeau and Mistassini, and this , more precisely between 1892 and 1950. The toponymic proposals provided by the Maria-Chapdelaine Historical and Genealogical Society are mainly used as a reference for this category.
