The new building, larger than the previous one, will provide access to the adjacent park and accommodate indoor activities. The project includes the construction of change rooms, multipurpose rooms, offices, bathrooms, storage areas and a kitchen.
To carry out this project, the governments of Canada and Quebec will provide equal funding of $484,010 under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) and the Recreational and Sports Infrastructure Financial Assistance Program (PAFIRS). This new infrastructure will contribute to the vitality and development of Labelle and the entire region.
