OUR AMBITION | Accessible and diverse services for residents

Conduct an analysis of existing programming and policies to evaluate equitable access for all users of sports facilities, cultural venues, and programs so that everyone can benefit.
 

Support the development of a public market where citizens can enjoy products highlighting local agriculture and artisans in a welcoming community space.
 

Enable teenagers and young adults to organize activities that reflect their interests by providing self-managed spaces, supporting their community initiatives, and collaborating with partners serving this age group.
 

Innovate by making municipal spaces and equipment accessible to the community and partners. Create “third places” outside standard uses for inclusive activities or to support creative initiatives (e.g., community kitchens, woodworking, mechanics, gardening/horticulture, etc.).
 

Maintain existing parks, cycling, and walking trails, ensure connectivity by creating missing intersections, and protect existing woodlands while developing new ones so the community can enjoy outdoor activities. Specifically, make Harwood Nature Park accessible via active transportation.

Highlight our artistic history, where renowned creators like Félix Leclerc found inspiration. We have a duty to preserve our heritage and promote cultural influence by supporting artists from here and elsewhere, whether established or emerging.

Reclaim our leadership in cultural mediation by continuing and expanding the advances of the Je suis project. By leveraging interculturalism as a driver of social cohesion and multiplying artistic and civic initiatives, we will celebrate diversity and strengthen the sense of belonging in Vaudreuil-Dorion through the adoption of a new cultural policy.
 

Offer a diverse year-round cultural program by partnering with current stakeholders and co-creating a varied lineup with artists and cultural organizations. Collectively, determine the future purpose of the former library through structured citizen consultation to identify target audiences for its redevelopment.
 

Make the city a showcase for the region’s cultural and social life by promoting local artists and leveraging the expertise of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Arts and Culture Council (CACVS) through stable collaboration.
 

Take advantage of the update to the Parks and Green Spaces Master Plan to enhance citizen participation in selecting improvements to equipment, sports facilities, and landscaping across the city’s sites.

Promote sports and physical activity by finding a balance between the use of training facilities for professional or aspiring athletes and amateur users who are passionate about their sport. Strive for transparent and fair allocation of facilities.
 

Build a sports dome for field sports such as soccer, football, baseball, cricket, pétanque, etc., to meet the growing demand for year-round accessible infrastructure.
 

Reassess the Aquatic Complex project based on the overall offerings available to residents and organizations, in complementarity with all existing sites (indoor and outdoor pools), to anticipate real needs and total investments required.
 

Highlight the history of Vaudreuil-Dorion through a heritage trail.
