Snow and black ice: the City is ready to intervene

The cold season has arrived and both snow and black ice can appear at any time on the 220 km of roads and 440 km of pavements and footpaths in the City of Geneva. Snow on the ground represents a challenge for the municipal territory: it cannot all be removed at the same time, but the Road Cleaning Department has significant capabilities used in accordance with a tried-and-tested strategy which determines how these resources are used and what the priority actions are.

Hot meals in the Plainpalais community hall

The people who usually come to the Club social rive gauche (CSRG) can now take their meals indoors in the Plainpalais community hall. Close to 120 breakfasts are served Monday to Friday from 8 a.m., while between 200 and 230 lunches are served at two sittings at 11 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. With winter approaching, this represents a significant improvement for particularly vulnerable people. This delocalised service is part of the action plan of the Department of Social Cohesion and Solidarity.

31st anniversary of children’s rights: children victims of the social crisis

Every year, the date of 20 November marks the anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The City of Geneva’s commitment in this field was acknowledged in 2018 with the UNICEF Switzerland label of “Commune amie des enfants”. In 2020, we have seen that children are severely affected by the social crisis facing Geneva. Accordingly, the action plan of the Department of Social Cohesion and Solidarity provides for a number of interventions intended specifically for children.
