Ottawa commits $8.4 million to L’Île-Perrot community-centre renovation

The federal government says it will provide more than $8.4 million to renovate and modernize the Paul-Émile-Lépine Community Centre in L’Île-Perrot.

The work announced October 26 includes a complete roof overhaul, new exterior doors and windows, improved wall and attic insulation, renovated washrooms, new exterior cladding and updated heating systems. The project also covers a French drain and foundation waterproofing.

Accessibility upgrades are planned for people with limited mobility and people with visual impairments. Ottawa says the work will extend the building’s useful life while reducing its energy use and operating costs.

The funding comes from the federal Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program. The announcement was made by Vaudreuil MP Peter Schiefke and L’Île-Perrot Mayor Marc Deslauriers. The federal release did not provide a construction schedule, so the project should be understood as funded work rather than a completed renovation.

For West Island-area residents, the investment concerns a major community facility just west of Montréal, serving sports, recreation and community activities.
