Mission

The mission defines the role of the organization, justifies its existence and steers all the activities.

Constituée par la Ville de Montréal, la Société du parc Jean-Drapeau a pour mission de conserver, d'aménager, de mettre en valeur et de développer ce grand parc urbain public, de veiller à la saine cohabitation des activités qui s'y déroulent et d'assurer sa pérennité pour les générations actuelles et futures.
