Schedule and activities at the Pavillon des activités nautiques
The Pavillon des activités nautiques is getting a fresh new look!
A historic, multi-purpose facility, the building is currently being used as a reception centre for watercraft activities at Jean-Doré Beach (open-water swimming and light watercraft rentals) and it requires an upgrading that will benefit the entire summer community.

Rehabilitation work
Restoration of the Pavillon des activités nautiques has to be done to improve the conformity, sustainability and accessibility of the building, thereby ensuring an enhanced visitor experience by:
- a more comfortable reception hall
- changing rooms that are universally accessible
- a more people-friendly multi-purpose hall
- a renovated terrace overlooking the lake at Jean-Doré Beach

- Best possible development of the entrance hall, changing rooms, multi-purpose hall and administration offices to provide proper service space for visitors as well as event organizers.
- Universal accessibility and integrating the development into the heritage context.
