Expansive renovation

It’s more than spring cleaning time for the chalet at St. Lazare’s primary municipal park, Bedard Park. A $228,000 expansion project, which began a few weeks ago, is expected to be completed sometime next month.

The larger chalet will be able to accommodate more ice skating enthusiasts who use the facility for changing into their skates and warming up in the winter, says town communications agent Geneviève Hamel.

In addition, the town’s recently expanded and supervised teen centre program that now run free of charge Tuesday through Saturday at the chalet, will benefit from the enlarged facility.

The exterior of the entire chalet, including graffiti, will also be cleaned up, says Hamel. (Photothèque)
