BOULEVARD SAINT-LAURENT Welcome to the Boulevard Saint-Laurent Section. |

From the Village International du boulevard Saint-Laurent... For nearly twenty years, the Village international du boulevard Saint-Laurent merchants’ association, a voluntary grouping of over 120 members, provided a structure to handle relations between the merchants and the various departments of the City and to organize summer street fairs. The association was run by an elected six-member executive council that operated on a volunteer basis. Over the years, many of the long-established businesspeople on the street felt a need to create an association that would both be more stable and have access to stable funding. In April 2000 the Village international du boulevard Saint-Laurent thus turned into the Société de développement du boulevard Saint-Laurent (SDBSL). ... to the Société de développement du boulevard Saint-Laurent ... In place of what had been a voluntary association, the businesspeople of Saint-Laurent Boulevard constituted themselves into an economic development corporation—an autonomous non-profit organization, membership in which is automatic for the 600 businesses located on the territory covered by the SDBSL, the stretch of Saint-Laurent Boulevard between Sherbrooke Street and Mont-Royal Avenue. The membership is divided equally between street-level retail establishments and professional offices on the upper stories. The aim of the SDBSL is to promote the interests of the members and take action to ensure the economic, social and cultural vitality of the area. In addition to organizing two street fairs in the summer and the Dias Das Montras Christmas-window event, the Société de développement offers its members a variety of services including training workshops and promotional initiatives such as a tourist guide and a Web site. Furthermore, by maintaining constant cooperation with the City of Montreal, the SDBSL can help members in their dealings with municipal departments (requests for permits, information on municipal by-laws, etc.).
