The people of Saint-Lambert appreciate and value the arts and culture, which is why the City is paying them special attention in its current activities. Enriched and dynamic, our city’s cultural offerings are evidenced in numerous ways.
In fact, in 2016, the Ville de Saint-Lambert adopted its Cultural Policy to stimulate cultural life and ensure its future development. This policy serves as a reference for tailoring the service offerings to the population and supporting local cultural initiatives.
