LAVAL, QUE. — The federal government and the Hellenic Community of Greater Montreal are investing $25 million for a project to build a new energy-efficient community centre in Laval’s Chomedey district.
The federal government is investing $10 million in the project under the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program, and the Hellenic Community of Greater Montreal is contributing $15 million. The new eco-energy and net-zero carbon community centre will consist of a sports complex with a double gymnasium, a theatre with a stage, space for social services, a library, offices and conference rooms, indicates a release.
A large-scale photovoltaic system integrated into the building and heat pumps will also enable the building to produce and obtain renewable energy, all without carbon emissions.
