Canada to convert skating rink into multipurpose facility

Published: 11-Mar-2010

As part of the joint government financial assistance under the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund – Quebec for the modernization of sports and recreational facilities, a skating rink in Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu would be converted into a multi purpose surface.

The project involves converting an existing skating rink into a 14,720 square feet multipurpose surface. The work includes installing a new reinforced concrete surface and new rink boards allowing for a higher quality ice rink more resistant to changes in temperature. With this project, the municipality seeks to increase use of its park by providing access to a surface that can be used year round. These improvements will directly benefit about 2,200 people.

Completion of this project will necessitate an overall eligible investment of $320,000. The Municipality of Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu will invest $106,668, while the governments of Quebec and Canada will each contribute $106,666 toward the work, for a total of $213,332 in combined government funding.

The Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund – Quebec is a cost-sharing initiative aimed at funding infrastructure projects in communities with fewer than 100,000 inhabitants. These communities are thus able to use this assistance to improve infrastructure that is in major need of revitalization, including water treatment plants, water supply systems and cultural and sports centers.

In Quebec, a joint federal-provincial contribution of $232 million will be used to fund 106 infrastructure projects.
