Sainte-Angèle-de-Monnoir – Shared public spaces, such as outdoor skating rinks in municipal parks, are at the heart of communities across Canada. They draw in residents and visitors alike and create local jobs. In so many places across the country, these spaces have seen a significant fluctuation in use due to COVID‑19.

Today, the Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for CED, announced a $38,874 non-repayable contribution for the municipality of Sainte-Angèle-de-Monnoir, through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF), for the upgrading of the skating rink in Parc Noël-Dubé. CED’s contribution will be used to install new boards around the rink and add permanent markers for the pickleball court.

The Government of Canada recognizes that community spaces promote social interaction and physical activity. By providing better access to recreational programs and facilities, we are contributing to the well-being of communities, families and individuals across the country. Our economic recovery is closely linked to the vitality of our local communities and their shared spaces.

“Our financial assistance for the project submitted by the municipality of Sainte-Angèle-de-Monnoir reflects our government’s commitment to support the economic development of communities of all sizes in all regions of Quebec. The upgrading of the outdoor skating rink in Parc Noël-Dubé will revitalize the community by allowing it to improve its outdoor spaces and thus help the community recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am sure that residents and visitors will make it their own and that their quality of life will be improved. Kudos for this exciting project for the development of this beautiful municipality!” – Pascale St-Onge, MP for Brome–Missisquoi, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for CED
