Renovations

Despite the relocation of the vaccination clinic, the building will remain closed for renovations to repair and upgrade this sports centre.   

Description of the renovations

The borough of LaSalle has enrolled in the Programme de soutien à la mise aux normes des arénas municipaux (support program for bringing municipal arenas up to standard) to carry out the skating rink project at the Centre sportif Dollard-St-Laurent. As part of this project, the following renovations will be carried out:

• Replacement of the existing refrigeration system with a new ammonia-based one and construction of an extension to house it
• Various upgrades to comply with regulations and ensure the safety of users and employees
• Implementation of energy efficiency measures
• The renovations required for LEED-Silver certification
• Basic universal accessibility renovations
• Maintenance deficit work
• Leasehold improvements

Cost and duration

Under the program, Ville de Montréal finances 80% of eligible costs, while 20% is assumed by the boroughs. Eligible costs over and above the financial limit of the program are fully paid by the boroughs, as are leasehold improvements.

The renovations of the Centre sportif Dollard-St-Laurent, which will take two years to complete, amount to $27,073 million.
