A cultural policy of our own

Because it firmly believes in the essential role that culture and the arts play in community well-being and development, because it is aware of the importance its residents have attached to them since its founding and because it wants to ensure their unhindered growth, Town of Mount Royal published its first Cultural Policy in spring of 2009.
