The Strategy is the fruit of the deliberations of the Groupe des partenaires des événements sportifs de Montréal (GPESM). It sets out clear, measurable objectives and priority actions to be taken in the short term.
The Strategy reconciles the efforts of all our sporting event partners. In particular, it will :
- Position Montreal as a leading Olympic city and sports metropolis, by providing the necessary resources to ensure that it maintains its leadership and remains a major national and international sports destination;
- Plan a portfolio of sporting events that reflect Montréal's image;
- Promote access to new sports facilities and improve existing infrastructures, for the short-, medium- and long-term benefit of the sporting elite.
and long-term benefit of the sporting elite and, by extension, of all Montreal residents, which represents a significant
for the Montreal community;
- Create business opportunities for all metropolitan partners and economic spin-offs for the region;
- Implement a coordinated, proactive and integrated approach to monitoring, bidding and hosting major sporting events.
The Montreal sports events strategy was adopted in November 2016. This strategy is the result of the work of the Groupe des partenaires des événements sportifs de Montréal (GPESM) led by Le Conseil du sport de Montréal, which includes the Ville de Montréal, Tourisme Montréal, the Olympic Park, Parc Jean-Drapeau and the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ). This joint strategy brings together the efforts of the various key partners to position Montreal as a leading Olympic city and sports metropolis.
More concretely, the strategy includes increasing cooperation between event organizers, attracting new national training centers and developing the sports congress market.
A number of actions will be undertaken over the coming months to achieve the targets set by the Partners Group.
