Notices
Mobility
The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve is closed to all automobile and cyclist traffic due to preparatory work and the holding of the Grand-Prix du Canada event.

Implementation
A great contemporary and ecological park for the city's rethinking
With the aim of being dramatically transformed over the next 10 years, the Parc is relying on an implementation plan designed to chart its evolution and gradually implement changes in its governance, business model and organization.
Four major transformations will be needed to bring the Management Plan to fruition:
Governance structure
The governance structure must open to the outside and be collaborative to enable a more enlightened decision-making process.
Business model
In step with the public park vocation, the business model must offer an enhanced-value proposal to its key public, while at the same time ensuring its financial longevity.
Organizational structure
The culture and organizational structure must integrate the skills and mechanisms that are vital to its new mission.
Phasing and funding
A phasing-in and funding plan, and success benchmarks will ensure an efficient accountability.
Six major priority actions
By drawing on the situational analysis in relation to the Parc's recurring challenges, the recommendations of the OCPM, an analysis of social trends, current issues for major urban parks and a review of scientific literature, the SPJD is able to define six major priority actions.
Foster the access to water and the appropriation of the Saint Lawrence River shores
Develop 15 kilometres of riverbank walkway and enhance the Parc's landscape experience
Adopt an open managerial mode for enlightened decision-making
Establish an annual public meeting that includes accountability reporting
Become a reference point for citizen participation
Support the creation of a protect Parc-Jean Drapeau citizens' group
Transform mobility as a Parc attraction
Eliminate the Parc's vehicular traffic and offer sustainable mobility options
Create an ecological transition campus
Mobilize resources and establish partnerships to contribute to social and environmental progress
Align the Management Plan's funding with the City's 10-year capital works plan
Mobilize the various sources of public and private funding
Governance structurePut a governance structure in place that is open to the community, in order to:
By 2030To ensure the Parc's longevity, the Société du parc Jean-Drapeau has updated its statutes, which means its letters of patent, regulations, internal governance and the contract that links it to the City of Montréal. It has also entrenched its Management Plan into its administrative practices to help in achieving its success. The SPJD has established a governance structure based on an open culture, partnership, and a shared accountability and transparency. Through sound financial management, an innovative business model and the adoption of performance measurement tools, the Société is now able to pinpoint, track and evaluate the progress of projects and thereby be accountable. This extensive overhaul has enabled the organization to make the expected shift, so the Management Plan can be successful. |

Business modelThree objectives to fulfill the vision of a great, insular and sustainable urban park:
By 2030Citizens come to Parc Jean-Drapeau to unwind and be in touch with nature, practice outdoor activities, take part in cultural and festive activities, and learn more about its heritages. Users will be transformed in a positive way by their experience at the Parc, and this will increase their ability as agents of change in their community. The Parc will also be a place of innovation and education in terms of climate change and the socio-ecological transition. It will include engaged players from the associative sector, business community, social economy field, universities and various foundations. The innovations will be incorporated into the users' overall experience and they will be widely spread so they have a greater societal impact. The diversified autonomous income will enable the Société to fulfill its ambitions. The quality of the users' experience will be enhanced, and the Parc will be hailed for its contribution to society's needs. |
|
Organizational transformationTwo organizational transformations are foreseen:
By 2030The SPJD will be highly regarded for its people-oriented and inclusive practices in terms of human resources and its great ability to adapt. Its managers will be touted for their leadership, which encourages adaptability, inter-dependence, autonomy and the pride of the work teams. This culture, based on partnership and shared accountability, will be supported by a work organization which will lean on an increased individual efficiency and a fluid, collaborative and transparent decision-making process. |

Phasing and funding
Achieving the Management Plan will require a new managerial process geared to performance and sufficiently targeted so it is able to conduct follow-ups and be properly accountable. Progressively, the Parc will:
- Propose initiatives that it will deploy, in a priority manner, in relation to the objectives being sought
- Invest massively to ensure a profitable, sustainable, responsible development and efficient use of resources
- Adopt a managerial system based on results which will enable the gradual implementing of a managerial dashboard
A $970 million investment over 10 years for a great contemporary park
- $389 000 000: Regular investment by the City of Montréal
- $181 000 00: Additional investment by the City of Montréal
- $400 000 000: Investment through public-private partnerships
- $570 000 000 (59%) : New projects
- $400 000 000 (41%) : Maintenance of assets
To ensure the Parc's longevity, the planning comprises a funding objective for the overall Management Plan of close to $970 million. Of this amount, $570 million, 59% of the total, is funded by the City of Montréal through an annual budget of $57 million that is in the 10-year capital works program. Devoted to Management Plan projects, this budget is sub-divided between new development projects and those related to maintaining and renovating the Parc's facilities. The City's portion notably includes the funds it attributes to the Société du parc Jean-Drapeau as part of the triennial investment plan. This accounts for close to half of the annual budgets which serve to restore the existing buildings and infrastructures. The balance of $400 million — 41% of the total — will be funded through public-private partnerships.
