Pavillon Lalonde: a window on the water, a place to gather

A brand-new pavilion is coming to Lalonde Park in summer 2025! With redesigned access to the

water for the benefit of residents and modern multifunctional facilities, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue will offer a relaxing and refreshing place to reconnect with Lac Saint-Louis. Sainte-Anne is changing, and getting more beautiful!

The pavilion will be used to organize local and tourist activities. This project is also part of an initiative to give residents back access to the water, and is part of the project to stabilize the banks of Kelso Park and the adjacent promenade.

View the presentation unveiled to residents at an information session held on Thursday, November 28, 2024, at the Harpell Centre.

Stabilizing the banks of Kelso Park and the adjacent promenade

The city is embarking on a project to stabilize the banks of Kelso Park and the adjacent Promenade, whose retaining walls have been severely damaged by the effects of climatic hazards over the past decade. The project, valued at just over $13.4 million, will enable municipal infrastructures to be adapted to the impacts of climate change.

The project benefits from a $9,628,578 grant from the Quebec government, awarded under the Programme de résilience et d'adaptation face aux inondations (PRAFI) of the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation. This assistance will enable the city to cover most of the cost of the work.

Stabilization work will include the repair of retaining walls and related works, as well as site development and bank revegetation. Work is scheduled to start in fall 2024 and continue until early spring 2025.

The City is committed to carrying out the rehabilitation work while minimizing the impact on residents, businesses and users. That said, it is important to note that:

• The project will start on September 30, 2024, and run for 20 working weeks.
• Work will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• The work will require the closure of Parc Kelso, Place des Eaux-Vives, Rue Lalonde and Parc Lalonde, as well as the promenade between Place des Eaux-Vives and the Rue Lalonde parking lot.
• Parking will be prohibited on rue Sainte-Anne and in certain areas near the work site from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but will be permitted on weekdays from 7 p.m. and all day on weekends, unless otherwise indicated.
• Due to the nature of the work, noise pollution is to be expected, and mitigation measures will be put in place to minimize inconvenience.

For the safety of all residents and workers, please respect the signage in place.
Thank you for your cooperation.
