Message from the mayor
On behalf of Council, it is with great pride and pleasure that I introduce the first Town of Mount Royal
Cultural Policy.
This Policy mirrors the unique history, traditions, urban planning and evolution of our town since its
incorporation in 1912.
This Cultural Policy finds its origins in the many creative and dynamic initiatives of our predecessors
who brought cultural, artistic along with social and economic development. The birth of our town saw
the light of day with the audacious dream of a tunnel under Mount Royal, the mountain in the heart of
the island of Montreal.
Our Town Hall, the municipal library, the recreation centre, the arena, our schools and churches were
the first expression of confidence in our young and growing community. Many of our present-day
municipal, educational, religious and social institutions began as projects organized by citizen volunteers,
who placed their faith and energy in the future of this town.
Our municipality supported the founding, in 1987, of the Mount Royal Symphony Orchestra, which has
since become the Orchestre symphonique du Nouveau Monde. The Phoenix Theatre made its home in
the centre of our town for several years thanks to the efforts of a young and truly dedicated group of
town thespians. The list of community organizations such as the Women’s Community Club, the Dance
Club of the ’50s as well as contemporary groups such as TRAM, different parish concerts contributed,
without a doubt, to the cultural and artistic wealth of our community.
With the approaching centennial of our town, it is appropriate that the Cultural Policy confirm this solid
foundation with a vision for the next 100 years of Town of Mount Royal. In this respect, the Policy will
guide our way during the consultations leading to the development of a cultural action plan for our
town.
We sincerely thank all the citizens and community groups who participated in the reflection that enfolded
and unified the substance of this official document.

Message from the MNA for Mont-Royal
I am pleased to offer my sincere congratulations to Mount Royal’s citizens for having published this
cultural policy. With this key document, Mount Royal joins the some 125 Quebec municipalities that
have already developed a framework for perpetuating their community’s creative vitality.
The Government of Quebec is more than ever aware of the importance of heritage, the arts and culture
in Quebecers’ lives and of the significant role this sector plays in ensuring the social and economic
development and vibrancy of communities. Town of Mount Royal is already, in so many ways, a gem
of Quebec’s cultural heritage. For this municipality and its citizens, adopting a cultural policy is a sure
sign of a prosperous future from every point of view.

Message from the Chair of the Heritage
and Culture Advisory Committee
It is with great pride that the Heritage and Culture Advisory Committee presents to you Town of Mount
Royal’s very first Cultural Policy. Pride because the Policy is an eloquent symbol of the role that the
Town intends to play in developing this dimension so essential to its citizens’ quality of life.
The Policy is the fruit of several months of reflection and consultation aimed at establishing a consensus
among citizens regarding the values and orientations that will guide future arts and culture initiatives
in Mount Royal. But a true consensus would is unachievable without a significant number of voices,
which is why I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, all the residents who took part in this
important consultation and to acknowledge the energy, commitment and openness brought to the
process by each of the elected officials and citizens who sit on the Heritage and Culture Advisory
Committee.
The committee’s core contribution was augmented by the invaluable input of members of the TRAM,
the Mount Royal Round Table on Art, who brought their enthusiasm and dedication to developing the
local arts scene to each of the consultation stages.
Truth be told, we are now on track to provide you with ever greater access to arts and culture in your
living environment.

Art is inseparable from life. And when
we make it superfluous to our everyday
existence, which is often the case in our
society, we feel an indefinable void. Our life
is incomplete.
In humans, the need for beauty and to
communicate this beauty are innate. Some
350 centuries ago, artists were already
painting admirable works on the walls of
the caves where they sought shelter. Clad
in animal skins, totally lacking creature
comforts, they still felt the impulse to
depict and describe their world. These
distant forebearers were already creators.
Creation does not draw on our knowledge
so much as on our imagination. And the more
we imagine, the more we progress. It may
have taken scientists to build a rocket able
to travel to the moon, but it took someone
before them to imagine going there. Jules
Verne led the way. He travelled to the moon
a full century before we did.
The more a society integrates the arts
into its daily life, the more imaginative it
becomes. The more imaginative it is, the more
creative it becomes. And the benefits of this
creativity are found not only in books and
theatres and concert halls, but also in how
society views itself and others.
Art lifts us above our everyday worries and
concerns. In doing so, it has a ripple effect
and benefits both ourselves and those
around us.

Preamble
It stimulates individuals’ imaginations. It reflects the creativity of communities. It is the soul of the people.
Culture is vibrant and, in communities that embrace it fully, creates milieus full of meaning for those
who live there. Blessed with a built, landscaped and artistic heritage that can only be described as
remarkable, Town of Mount Royal is also and above all home to an extraordinary community vitality
that is sustained by former and current residents’ deep attachment to and pride in this exceptional
living environment.
The only municipality in Quebec to be entirely developed according to a land use plan inspired by the
Garden City movement, Mount Royal has successfully maintained its founders’ vision over the decades.
It offers its inhabitants an environment where the quality of the built heritage combines with the many
large parks, varied surroundings and railway heritage to inspire a community life in which culture and
the arts thrive. Both the strong presence of community and volunteer organizations involved in cultural
and other activities and the Town’s art collection are proof of the important place that culture occupies
in the hearts of Mount Royal’s residents.
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 is proud to
present its first Cultural Policy.
The product of extensive consultation with many of the Town’s organizations and citizens, the Cultural
Policy is a reference framework that will guide the Town and its partners in their future artistic and
cultural development initiatives at the municipal level. The mission statement set out in the Policy,
along with the related guidelines and orientations, expresses the values of Mount Royal’s citizens
regarding the Town’s cultural and community life. It is by building on this tool, which already identifies
several courses of action, that an action plan will eventually be developed with a view to strengthening
the impact of arts and culture on the quality of life of Mount Royal’s residents and consolidating
the Town’s identity as a city of heritage and culture.

History of the town
Mount Royal has its roots in culture… horticulture, that is. In 1910, when Sir William Mackenzie and
Sir Donald Mann, owners of the Canadian Northern Railway, were planning their soon-to-be-historic
railway cum residential development project, the land now occupied by Mount Royal was a small farming
community known far beyond Canada’s borders due to the melons grown there. Indeed, the delicious
Montreal Nutmeg Melon found takers as far away as New York, Chicago and Boston, even when prices
reached $1.50 a slice in 1921!
Seeking a low-cost solution for connecting their existing railway system to downtown Montreal at a time
when land prices there was already astronomical, Mackenzie and Mann acquired 4,800 acres of land
north of Mount Royal with two goals in mind: to build a model city and to link it to the city centre through
a tunnel under the mountain. CNR’s chief engineer, Henry K. Wicksteed, oversaw the work that led to
the April 1917 inauguration of a 5.3-km railway tunnel, whose construction is rightly considered a feat
of engineering, especially given the surveying tools available at the time.
As citizens of the new municipality incorporated in December 1912, the first passengers who travelled
downtown on October 21, 1918, already enjoyed an exceptional urban environment born of the vision
of landscape architect Frederick Gage Todd (1876–1948). In 1910, drawing inspiration from the plan of
Washington, D.C., a design characterized by two boulevards that crossed diagonally in a central green
space, Todd produced the plans for a veritable garden city based on the principles enunciated by the
English urban planner Ebenezer Howard. In reaction to the overpopulation of European cities, Howard’s
garden cities featured a human scale; they were walkable and bikable communities served by mass
transit systems and surrounded by a greenbelt, farmland that would provide the community with food.
Between 1913 and 1925, Town of Mount Royal’s population grew from 50 to 1,800 residents, who brought
schools, churches and local business in their wake, gradually infusing life into the urban ideal envisioned
by Todd.
In 1948, the inauguration of the new Town Hall marked the beginning of a genuine economic and
demographic boom in Mount Royal. On the edges of the residential and business districts appeared
the Metropolitan Expressway and Laurentian Autoroute, which was soon followed by the extension of
Jean Talon Boulevard between Côte-des-Neiges and Canora roads. Though few vestiges of the former
melon farms remained, the highway and street system that replaced them had little negative impact
on the day-to-day reality of Mount Royal’s residents. On the contrary, it encouraged the arrival of a large
number of companies while maintaining a clear separation between the growing industrial sector and
the residential and commercial districts and remarkably preserving both the spirit of the Town’s original
plans and residents’ quality of life. The Town’s population increased from 6,915 to 21,282 between 1948
and 1961. Three new schools were built, along with a new police station, fire station, curling club and
library.
Inducted into the Canadian Railway Hall of Fame in 2007, Town of Mount Royal was also designated
a national historic site in 2008 by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada in recognition
of its exemplary urban planning and its adherence to its original design over the years. The honours
underscore the key role played by such tools of democracy as the Planning Advisory Committee (CCU),
the Site Planning and Architectural Integration Program (PIIA) and the Tree Policy in the long-term
preservation of this community heritage.
Mount Royal’s nearly 100 years of existence have left not a wrinkle on the face of this territory developed
according to a vision that remains uniquely relevant today, a time when cities are questioning the
sustainability of their development and recognizing the instrumental role that culture can play in urban
revitalization projects. Town of Mount Royal can now continue the work of its founders by leveraging
the creativity, drive and diversity of its 20,000 residents to develop an increasingly solid social fabric.

Bernard Lamizet
Culture in mount royal: background and profile
It was in the 1920s and ’30s that Mount Royal, home to a young and growing population that enjoyed
generally above-average socio-economic conditions, saw the first stirrings of an associational movement
in which the arts quickly found a place. The Women’s Community Club and Drama Club were soon joined
by dance clubs, a ballet club, a philharmonic chorus and a Concert Society. Between 1975 and 1981,
the Phoenix Theatre had its finest days, presenting high-quality theatrical productions in a makeshift
auditorium. The Mount Royal Symphony Orchestra, which remains active in Saint-Jérôme and now plays
under the name Orchestre philharmonique du Nouveau Monde, was founded in 1987 in connection with
the Town’s 75th anniversary celebrations. In all, nearly 25 associations have brought citizens together
over the years, including the Horticulture Society and Scouts Canada, which have been part of the cultural
landscape for more than 70 years.
Mount Royal’s Recreation Department gradually took over from these associations the task of organizing
social, sports and cultural activities for residents. The department responds to the public’s desire for
arts and culture by offering a wide range of creative activities. Constantly updated to reflect contemporary
tastes and interests, the offerings now include batik, hip-hop and modern dance, though the enjoyment
of self-expression through the arts remains the same.
Today in Mount Royal, through a wide range of contexts and locations, arts and culture reach residents
of every age and background. Potters, painters, dancers and other would-be artists enjoy access to
the ART STUDIO, POTTERY STUDIO and facilities of the RECREATION CENTRE for learning new skills
and creating new works. The NEW HORIZONS WORKSHOP brings together seniors who are enthusiastic
about woodworking and share their know-how while creating pieces for their personal use or exhibition
and sale. Citizens who take part in the HERITAGE WALKS learn more about the historic and artistic aspects
of the Town’s architecture and green spaces.
Mount Royal’s PARKS are not only appreciated for their heritage and esthetic value but also because,
in the warmer months, they serve as gathering places for the community. As part of the GOOD TIMES
IN THE PARKS series and SUMMERFEST, residents enjoy music, dance and theatrical shows there. Young
people registered for the SPECIALIZED DAY CAMPS learn the secrets of CIRCUS ARTS, DANCE, COMIC
STRIP CREATION and THEATRE. And in September of every year, the MULTICULTURAL FAIR brings
the summer cultural season to a close by celebrating the diversity that has so enriched Mount Royal’s
community life.
Mount Royal’s PLACES OF WORSHIP, SCHOOLS and COMMUNITY HALLS become winter venues for artistic
offerings of all types. In recent years, aficionados of the performing arts have been able to discover
the work of such renowned and talented ensembles as Jeunesses Musicales of Canada, Théâtre de
l’Avant-Pays and Théâtre Le Clou. The support of the SPECIALIZED NETWORKS to which the Town
has belonged in recent years has given Mount Royal’s residents greater local access to performances
by renowned artists. Mount Royal’s schools are also key partners in the Town’s cultural development—
by introducing their students to arts and culture, of course, but also by nurturing Quebec’s next
generation of artists, a prime example being the music program at PIERRE LAPORTE SCHOOL.
Another locus of knowledge and key infrastructure in the cultural landscape for several generations,
the municipal library continues to embody the dynamism that led to its birth. Founded in 1953 by
the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the library was run by volunteers and funded with donations during
the first six years of its existence. It was an instant success: at the end of its first year of operation,
the library had more than 500 members to whom it had made 18,000 loans from among the 10,000
items in its collection. The Town’s complete takeover of the service in 1959 ensured the institution
a promising future, which included the inauguration of the current building in 1967.

Culture in mount royal: background and profile
Registered at the address 1967 Graham Boulevard in commemoration of the centennial of Canadian
confederation, the Mount Royal library was conceived as a symbol not only of national pride but also
of progress. The quality of its architecture, which earned it an architecture award from the Royal Canadian
Academy of Arts, and the state-of-the-art services it offered quickly made it one of Quebec’s top libraries.
The building’s lower level was designed to host a wide variety of literary and reading activities, and the
music listening stations were soon joined by a projector and a collection of 8-mm films. In the 1980s,
the institution became one of the first municipal libraries in Quebec to provide computers for members’
use. This unflagging drive to innovate and deliver quality services continues to this day.
These days, the library also provides its very large user base with an exceptional showcase for the Town’s
other fields of cultural activity. Specifically, the Reginald J. P. Dawson Library is a venue for a broad
range of cultural activities throughout the year. Visual arts occupy an important place, with the library
housing, on a permanent basis, a large collection of works owned by the Town and the English Montreal
School Board. The Art Wall, located in the library’s main hall, is a permanent exhibition space for local
artists seeking to present and explain their work to the general public at special events, such as the Journées
de la Culture.
WORLD BOOK AND COPYRIGHT DAY and PUBLIC LIBRARY WEEK give Mount Royal residents many
opportunities to meet authors and attend lectures, which are also offered throughout the year to youth
members, along with other literary and cultural activities such as STORYTIME and the READING CLUB.
More than just a gathering place, the library’s Youth Zone is also a space for learning and discovery.
Educational games and toys allow even the youngest children to take advantage of this environment
at the very heart of Mount Royal’s cultural life. An open door to nearby communities, the library also
serves inhabitants of Montreal’s Glenmount neighbourhood, who pay residents’ fees for the Town’s
recreational activities.
Lastly, the municipal archives play an important role in preserving and exhibiting historical and heritage
documents. Under the responsibility of the Town Clerk, the archives offer citizens the possibility of
reading historical newspapers (The TMR Post) and obtaining copies of archival
photographs. Of course, they also provide a central access point to municipal
by-laws and the Town Council’s minutes of meeting and resolutions.

Citizen and political involvement
Mount Royal’s flourishing community life continues to be based on VOLUNTEER ACTION by its citizens.
This can be seen both in the individuals who devote time and energy to ensuring the success of community
events and in the long-term involvement of organizations that promote Mount Royal’s artistic and cultural
development. The latter group includes the following.
MOUNT ROYAL ROUND TABLE ON ART (TRAM), a non-profit organization founded by local artists with
support from the Town, is the youngest of these organizations. Its mission is to promote Mount Royal
artists and foster a vibrant artistic life in the community. Its activities include the ArtTram Award, which
recognizes the artistic and cultural contribution of Mount Royal’s business owners; the Art Show, which
each year allows the general public to admire and acquire the works of some 40 local artists; organizing
visual art exhibits in the library and certain local businesses; and promoting Mount Royal’s artistic
talent in all cultural events within the Town’s borders. The result? All residents are now aware of TRAM,
and its impact can be felt in a reinvigorated artistic and cultural scene that is covered by local newspapers
and that piques residents’ interest and encourages their participation.
L’ARSENAL À MUSIQUE, an internationally celebrated musical-theatre troupe for young people located
in Mount Royal for 30 years now, also supports this new dynamic, in particular by sharing with TRAM
its extensive experience and expertise in production and outreach.
The municipal administration has long evinced an unmistakable enthusiasm for culture and the arts,
an enthusiasm that has taken several forms. Each year, at Town Hall and the library, the TOWN ART
COLLECTION displays works of art, several of them signed by famous artists. The August 2008 unveiling
of the Mother and Child sculpture, a work by Anne Kahane completed in the late 1950s for the Rockland
Centre, in its new location near the library aptly marked the official arrival of a new lever for cultural
development: the FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC ART, a non-profit organization created at the initiative
of Town Council. The foundation’s mission is to enrich Mount Royal residents’ daily lives by increasing
the presence of art in parks and other public spaces.
With the 2007 transfer of the Recreation Committee’s cultural responsibilities to the Heritage Advisory
Committee, which then became the Heritage and Culture Advisory Committee, Town of Mount Royal
gave itself the means of ensuring the effectiveness and coherence of its actions in support of cultural
development.

Mission
Having enjoyed an exceptional living environment and a dynamic, inclusive community life for nearly
a century, Mount Royal’s population must be able to continue counting on its elected officials’ unwavering
commitment to preserving the Town’s heritage and to supporting the sustainable development of culture
and the arts, elements key to building and growing the community. The mission statement on which
Mount Royal’s Cultural Policy is based reflects this commitment and the desire to rally the Town’s many
present and future partners around it:

To optimize the support of culture and the arts in the development
of Mount Royal’s community life, the future interventions of the Town
and its citizens will be aligned with the following orientations:
Orientations
Orientation No. 1
Celebrate heritage by making it a bigger part of our cultural
agenda
• Spotlight the role of the arts in the Town’s urban design
and architecture.
• Place more emphasis on the Town’s railway heritage.

Conclusion
The Town of Mount Royal Cultural Policy is an important milestone in the history of our community.
After nearly 100 years of growth embodying a respect for the values and ideals that informed its founding,
most notably due to the commitment and vision of its successive leaders, our Town has assets the like
of which few communities can boast. Our exceptional heritage and our economic and social dynamism,
not to mention the vitality and diversity of our some 20,000 residents, make our Town a veritable model
city whose exemplariness goes beyond the urban vision of its designers and of which its founders would
be very proud.
Building on these assets, Mount Royal now needs to envision the model city of tomorrow: diverse
and coherent, singular and universal, inclusive and open, and meaningful for each of its residents.
The discussions leading up to the publication of this policy were in keeping with this ideal; they reflected
a vision shared by all parties involved in the Town’s cultural development, a vision grounded in universal
access to culture and in the development of the human and material resources needed to make it a reality.
The action plan that will soon give shape to the orientations defined in this policy will also illustrate
this exceptional cohesion and, in return, will lead to proposals for a large number of community-building
cultural projects that will give every Mount Royal citizen the opportunity to contribute to Mount Royal’s
development as a MODEL CITY OF HERITAGE AND CULTURE.
