$10.9 million for the modernization of the Benoît-Lévesque Sports Centre in Roberval

Quebec – The Government of Canada, the Government of Quebec, and the City of Roberval announced investments of $3.6 million each– for a total investment of $10.9 million– for renovations to the Benoît-Lévesque Sports Centre and its adjacent outdoor sports grounds.

Work involves rebuilding the existing bleachers, adding two change rooms, redeveloping traffic areas and the recreation department’s offices, and replacing the building’s refrigeration system. Work on the outdoor sports grounds involves improving the soccer and baseball fields, constructing a general services building and installing a lighting system.

“In addition to benefiting athletes in physical education programs, this project will also enable residents to engage in sports and physical activities, thus promoting the adoption of active lifestyles. It is because we are developing the economy and soundly managing our public funds that we have the flexibility necessary to make new investments like the one we are announcing today.,” said Philippe Couillard, Premier of Quebec, Minister responsible for the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region and MNA for Roberval.
