Revised in January 2025, this policy is intended to be a user-friendly reference tool that contributes toward regularly updating municipal actions in the areas of culture, sports, recreation, social and community development.

It establishes criteria that enable Arrondissement de Saint-Laurent to better work with its partner organizations by identifying mechanisms to make it easier to issue official recognition for organizations whose activities are in keeping with the guidelines of the Direction de la culture, des sports, des loisirs et du développement social (DCSLDS) and whose offer of services meets Saint-Laurent residents’ needs.

The period for submitting recognition applications for community organizations for the years 2026 to 2028 is now underway.

Saint-Laurent Council can recognize an organization whose activities are in line with the mission and guidelines of the DCSLDS and whose offer of services meets Saint-Laurent residents’ needs. Arrondissement de Saint-Laurent can then offer recognized organizations support and expertise, logistical support as well as the use of its facilities, either free of charge or at a preferential rate. In some cases, financial support for the mission may also be granted.

Community organizations are invited to consult the Policy mentioned above in order to ensure that their application for recognition meets the eligibility requirements. 

To receive the application form for recognition, please contact the person below.
