Situational status and approach
A plan to ensure the Parc's longevity
In the spring of 2016, the City of Montréal's Executive Committee mandated the SPJD's board of directors to draft a Management Plan for Parc Jean-Drapeau. A plan that would enable the Parc to have a clear vision and strong identity, to meet local and global societal trends.
A clear vision
Regenerate
By encouraging the "return to the idea of a big urban, animated, green and blue park," the Plan reconnects to the Parc's history and the orientations of the initial management plan.
Connect
By emphasizing the Parc's insular feature, its belonging to the Hochelaga Archipelago, the Plan connects and establishes a continuity linking the islands to Vieux-Montréal, the downtown core and the top of Mount Royal.
Reinvent
Through innovative sustainable development and conservation practices, along with design work that is as well conceived, integrated and structural as that of Expo 67, Sainte-Hélène and Notre-Dame islands will be one of the most renowned urban public parks in North America.
Planning approach
In this vein, the Société du parc Jean-Drapeau steered its approach in a participative manner, by drawing on the latest trends in the area of governance, citizen appropriation of public spaces and social innovation.

A
decisive
public
consultation
Parc Jean-Drapeau handed back and unveiled to citizens.
Please go to the OCPM website to consult the full Report and its 20 recommendations.
This consultation was one of the largest in the OCPM's history in terms of duration and participation. In a perspective of re-appropriation and promoting the attributes of this iconic space, we invited citizens to take part in an unprecedented exercise of vision and creativity, conducted in four stages. More than 6,000 people contributed online, attended or participated in the various workshops, theme nights, information sessions and hearings to share their opinions. Société du parc Jean-Drapeau board members, insular partners, cultural and sports activity organizers and people in charge of recreation-tourist associations were met in pre-consultation to get a better grasp of their specific needs and assess their expectations of the future management plan.
The activities, which were held throughout the summer in the Parc, allowed us to get an on-site sampling of opinion of some 1,000 people. The commission received close to 200 written opinions and (heard) some 50 oral presentations. This remarkable mobilization attests to the interest of the population for this place, for which Montrealers and Quebecers still have fond memories.
