The Museum
Community and commitment
To carry out its educational and cultural mission, the Musée de la santé Armand-Frappier is committed to making its content and activities accessible to the entire community. Indeed, understanding health and environmental issues should be within everyone’s reach.
Accessibility measures for clients from underprivileged backgrounds
The team at the Musée de la santé Armand-Frappier is committed to ensuring that its activities are accessible to the greatest number of visitors, notably those from underprivileged Laval neighbourhoods. Thanks to its partners, it is regularly able to offer free registration to the youth scientific workshop as well as to the science camps*. Interested parties must fill in the form below. Free registrations are awarded at random. Thank you so much for your interest!
(*Please note that the free camps have all been granted for the summer of 2023.)

Sustainable development
our commitment
In line with its mission, the Museum recognizes the importance of sustainable development and is committed to integrating it at all levels of its organization. Its commitments are consistent with the five principles of the Société des musées du Québec’s Museums and Sustainable Development Charter:
- Social equity and solidarity
- Protection of cultural heritage
- Participation and commitment
- Responsible production and consumption
- Access to knowledge
Each year, these commitments and orientations are, for the Museum, benchmarks that generate sustainable actions. Here are some of them:
- In 2020, the Museum changed its financial management policy, which now fully integrates responsible procurement;
- Since 2017, it has been contributing to employee group insurance and RRSPs;
- Since 2017, it has been conducting an educational project with teachers and students from École Simon-Vanier to validate the interest in, and accessibility to, the educational content and activities presented;
- The Museum offers free moderated activities to many school groups from underprivileged backgrounds each year;
- In the context of exhibitions and educational programs, moderated activities, and all administrative and logistical processes, it restricts its supply to essentials, reuses and recycles material, and avoids the use of paper. Staff table waste is even composted.
Our annual action plan integrates policies, procedures, and strategic plans to ensure that this commitment is well implemented.
