The Papineauville arena, closed since 2017, will be transformed into a modern multifunctional sports centre thanks to a $12.9 million investment from the federal government.
This announcement was made by Stéphane Lauzon, Member of Parliament for Argenteuil-La Petite-Nation, and Paul-André David, Mayor of Papineauville.
This ambitious project will transform the former arena into a modern and eco-friendly multifunctional centre, dedicated to a variety of sports disciplines, while completely renovating its current community centre. The centre will be designed based on sustainable development principles, with green buildings integrating energy-efficient solutions, thereby contributing to the reduction of the municipality's carbon footprint and the preservation of the environment.
In addition to enhancing the attractiveness and vitality of Papineauville, this multifunctional centre will provide a modern gathering space tailored to the needs of a growing population. Located near a secondary school and a future elementary school, the complex will benefit from confirmed support from the school service centre for its use, as well as that of several local sports and community associations.
The funding will help improve the supply of sports and community infrastructure, while highlighting the social, educational, and recreational development of the region, benefiting both current and future generations, by integrating sustainable solutions to promote a greener future.
