Lachine libraries invite you to participate in several activities.

On your own, create a short comic strip (4-8 panels) featuring the Dog Man and Cat Kid characters from Dav Pilkey’s books. March 1- 8, bring it to the library. And who knows, you might win the book Gros Jean: le commencement. On the spot, we’ll invite you to take part in the vote: Qui préfères-tu? (Who do you like better?) Which animal do you prefer, a cat or a dog?

March 3-9, you can also ask for the game card Cherche et trouve… des champignons (Hunt and find… mushrooms). Are you in the mushroom fan club, like Élise Gravel? Have fun finding mushrooms hidden in the Youth section of Lachine’s two libraries, and identifying them on the game card.

Supervised activities for all tastes and ages: architectural challenges, mask and bead necklace crafts, the Chicane dans la cabane board game, a chemistry experiment and much more!

All activities at bibliothèque Saul-Bellow

All activities at bibliothèque de Saint-Pierre

Parc Grovehill, a well-known spot for sliding enthusiasts, is designed to provide you with an enjoyable winter experience. The heated trailer is open March 3-7, 9:30-5 p.m., depending on the weather. 

Did you know the the Bibliothèque Saul-Bellow has sleds for you to use? You can borrow a variety of sports equipment like crampons, walking sticks and snowshoes for children and adults by presenting your library card.

Many skating rinks are open depending on the weather. You can practice open skating and hockey from 8 a.m.-10 p.m. Before you go, check out the conditions at winter activity sites. 

Welcome centers at parcs Carignan, Dixie, Kirkland and LaSalle are open from March 3-7, 10 a.m. -9:30 p.m. The equipment loan trailer in Parc Michel-Ménard will also be available 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. during this special week. Skates are on loan as well at Parc Kirkland. Make the most of it all!

Glide along the 21.3-km La Riveraine trail! Mechanically groomed, the trail begins at Parc Summerlea in Lachine, runs across LaSalle’s shoreline from end to end and finishes at Parc Arthur-Therrien in Verdun. La Riveraine also includes a loop in the magnificent Parc René-Lévesque.

However, for safety reasons, some sections of the trail will be inaccessible, for example from chemin du Canal to 6e Avenue, from 21e to 34e Avenue and under Honoré-Mercier bridge in LaSalle. 

Check the conditions of the trails and the map.
