Arena renovations and significant road work is planned for the months ahead in Lachute.
On January 15, council adopted a regulation allowing for $550,000 to be spent on repairing the boards at the Aréna Kevin-Lowe/Pierre-Pagé.
Mayor Bernard Bigras-Denis explained the city of Lachute is paying for the work, but it will be reimbursed by the Municipalité régionale de comté (MRC) d’Argenteuil. He said the financing arrangement means other municipalities whose residents use the arena are contributing to the renovations through the MRC. The arenas in Lachute and Brownsburg are the only two fully-enclosed rinks with artificially-produced ice in Argenteuil.
