Policy 37
Policy on Recognition and Support of non-profit Organizations

Effective January 1, 2023, the policy providing general rules for community support (Policy 28) was abolished and replaced by the policy establishing rules for recognition and support of non-profit organizations (Policy 37).

This new policy allows the Town to strengthen and formalize its relationship with non-profit organizations (NPOs). In order to encourage and support community initiatives for the development of the service offer, the Town must recognize the contribution of organizations and volunteers within the population. By supporting and promoting the initiatives of non-profit organizations initiated by the community, the Town of Saint-Lazare demonstrates its will to revitalize its community sector.

It is important to note that with the new Policy 37, the Town will no longer offer citizens the possibility to request direct financial assistance from the Town for recreational activities.
