The Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec are working together to provide Quebecers with access to safe and sustainable facilities that promote recreational and sports activities, thereby improving the quality of life in our communities.
Today, the Minister of Health, the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, on behalf of the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, and the Member of the National Assembly for Bellechasse, Stéphanie Lachance, on behalf of the Minister for Education and Minister Responsible for the Status of Women, Isabelle Charest, announced $408 559 in joint funding to the organism Mont-Orignal, cooperative de solidarité, located in Lac-Etchemin.
The project will bring up to standards the ski lift at the Mont-Orignal ski resort, which has been in operation for more than 30 years. The work includes the leveling of the attachment hands and pulley trains as well as the replacement of the electronic panel and various parts.
