PROJECT
Since 2005, the municipality of Blainville has made considerable efforts to become a green city. Blainville’s internal policies align with this vision of sustainable development and incorporate the concept of sustainable energy. Making public buildings as energy efficient as possible had become a necessity. The buildings affected by the project are the arena, library, community centre, city hall, Maison des Associations, La Zone complex and Réservoir Marcel-Ayotte.
