Loisir sport Outaouais invites organizations to prepare their renovation projects

Loisir sport Outaouais welcomes the investment announced in the 2026 federal budget for the revitalization of community and sports infrastructure.

The government is providing $1.5 billion over nine years. Of this amount, $750 million will be used to renovate rinks and arenas, while the other half will go towards revitalizing community centres.

In light of this announcement, Loisir sport Outaouais invites municipalities, non-profit organizations and cooperatives that own or manage this type of infrastructure to contact its team.

The organization provides support in planning funding applications and preparing a project sheet that will gather the necessary information to meet eligibility criteria.

Loisir sport Outaouais also recommends that interested organizations provide a down payment equivalent to approximately 50% of the total cost of the work in their 2027 budget. This amount may be required to meet program requirements.

However, the organization indicated that this proportion could be revised downward when the official program terms and conditions are released next year.

The organizations concerned are therefore invited to start preparing their projects now in order to be ready when the funding program is launched.
