Today, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, the Honourable Réjean Savoie, Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation, and Charles Thibodeau, President of the Centre culturel et sportif de Cormier-Village, announced a federal investment of more than $159,000 to modernize the Ecoparc de Cormier-Village.
Through this investment, the Ecoparc will reduce its ecological footprint by installing up to 70 solar photovoltaic panels. These improvements are expected to reduce the facility's energy consumption by an estimated 161% and greenhouse gas emissions by 13.7 tonnes annually.
The Ecoparc is a multipurpose facility that provides a place for community activities while also being a learning lab for energy conservation, water management, natural infrastructure and renewable energy technologies.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
