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.

- a renovated terrace overlooking the lake at Jean-Doré Beach
