The Cultural Innovation Support Programme has three general objectives:

- To contribute to the vitality of the community by supporting original and coherent cultural initiatives that help make art and culture more accessible;

- To provide support for the creation, production, dissemination and marketing of art in order to highlight the creative process and its ability to generate lasting changes in perception among different audiences;

- To promote greater public awareness of culture in Vaudreuil-Soulanges, in all its forms, through the principles of sustainable development.

The aim of the NCPI is to enable applicants to address opportunities for social, environmental and economic innovation within communities, using culture as a tool for positive change to help ensure a strong and dynamic future for the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region.
