Papineauville transforms its arena into a multifunctional sports centre Français
PAPINEAUVILLE, QC, Aug. 18, 2025 /CNW/ - The Papineauville arena, closed since 2017, will be transformed into a modern multifunctional sports centre thanks to a $12.9 million investment from the federal government. This announcement was made by Stéphane Lauzon, Member of Parliament for Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation, and Paul-André David, Mayor of Papineauville. This ambitious project will transform the former arena into a modern and eco-friendly multifunctional centre, dedicated to a variety of sports disciplines, while completely renovating its current community centre. The centre will be designed based on sustainable development principles, with green buildings integrating energy-efficient solutions, thereby contributing to the reduction of the municipality's carbon footprint and the preservation of the environment. In addition to enhancing the attractiveness and vitality of Papineauville, this multifunctional centre will provide a modern gathering space tailored to the needs of a growing population. Located near a secondary school and a future elementary school, the complex will benefit from confirmed support from the school service centre for its use, as well as that of several local sports and community associations. The funding will help improve the supply of sports and community infrastructure, while highlighting the social, educational, and recreational development of the region, benefiting both current and future generations, by integrating sustainable solutions to promote a greener future. Quotes "This investment of nearly $13 million demonstrates our commitment to the development of sports and community infrastructure in Papineauville. This modern multifunctional centre will meet the needs of a growing population, while providing an inclusive gathering place for families, youth, and seniors in the region. We are proud to support this initiative that will promote the health, well-being, and economic vitality of the entire community." Stéphane Lauzon, Member of Parliament for Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation "The addition of such a multifunctional sports centre will have a major impact, not only for the citizens of Papineauville but for the entire Petite-Nation region and the school network. I must thank our Member of Parliament, Stéphane Lauzon, for not only hearing our call but also for believing in our ability to carry out such a project. As a result, Papineauville is significantly increasing its regional sports services offering." Paul-André David, Mayor of Papineauville Quick Facts The federal government is investing $12,957,993 million in this project through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) program. The Municipality of Papineauville is contributing $2,000,000. These enhancements are expected to reduce the facility's energy consumption by an estimated 59,7% and greenhouse gas emissions by 0.55 tonnes annually. The GICB program was created in support of Canada's Strengthened Climate Plan: A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy. It is supporting the Plan's first pillar by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy efficiency, and helping develop higher resilience to climate change. The program launched in 2021 with an initial investment of $1.5 billion over five years towards green and accessible retrofits, repairs or upgrades. Budget 2024 announced an additional $500 million to support more projects through GICB until 2029. At least 10% of funding is allocated to projects serving First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities, including Indigenous populations in urban centres.

Lauzon carries on in Argenteuil-La Petite-Nation
CBC News projects Liberal Stéphane Lauzon will once again win in Argenteuil-La Petite-Nation, the Ottawa-Gatineau region's easternmost riding. A former paper company worker, teacher and Gatineau city councillor, Lauzon has now pulled off four straight wins here, recently holding off the Bloc Québécois in tight 2019 and 2021 races. The riding boundaries were significantly different before that. His constituency currently runs along the Ottawa River from Gatineau through Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, Montebello and Thurso to Lachute, going as far north as Val-des-Bois and Duhamel. The riding gained territory on its western flank, moving Val-des-Monts from Pontiac-Kitigan Zibi and bringing a couple of areas over from the riding of Gatineau. It also lost seven eastern communities to the new riding of Les Pays-d'en-Haut. Six candidates ran here this time.
