"community centre"

This item proposes a name change for the Saint-Gérard community centre.

This item addresses the reconstruction of the Saint-Gérard community centre. The project, managed by the Infrastructure and Projects Department, aims to replace the aging facility with a new building to better serve the local community. This is a significant capital investment for the Rivière-Blanche district.

The Executive Committee is recommending that City Council approve an additional $3,599,865 from the city's contingency fund to cover rising construction costs for the St-Gérard Community Centre. The project budget has increased to $6.5 million due to inflation and the potential loss of a $750,000 federal grant that has not yet been confirmed. If the grant is eventually received, the funds will be returned to the contingency reserve.

This item concerns the approval of additional funding for the St-Gérard Community Centre project. The city council is authorizing the use of the contingency fund to cover cost overruns or unforeseen expenses related to this facility. This ensures the project can proceed or be completed as planned.

This item approves the integration of a public art piece into the new Saint-Gérard community centre, located in the Rivière-Blanche district represented by Councillor Jean Lessard.
