The Société du parc Jean-Drapeau is a paramunicipal body of the City of Montreal whose seven-member Board of Directors primarily represent the business world. 

Many activities and events are held on Sainte-Hélène and Notre-Dame islands. The Société du parc Jean-Drapeau plays a variety of roles, such as an event organizer or a logistical support agency for the numerous partners and promoters of the extensive programming offered to the general public year-round and on a sporadic basis.
