Citizens' Charter
To preserve these harmonious relations and promote them for future generations, Saint-Lambert adopted a Charter that sets out the rights and responsibilities of all citizens. Respect, democracy, integrity, tolerance, and participation in municipal life form the cornerstones of this charter, which requires commitment from the municipality’s administration and its various departments, as well as from all of the citizens who make up our community.
The Saint-Lambert Citizens’ Charter represents the desire to live in harmony in a city that promotes the well-being of our families, the protection of our young people and seniors, and the preservation of our environment.
