Park Yvan-Franco to be used for school construction

le lundi 10 juillet 2023

The City of Châteauguay will transfer the Yvan-Franco Park to the Centre de services scolaire des Grandes-Seigneuries (CSSDGS) to allow the construction of a new elementary school on the Boulevard De Gaulle site.

Meanwhile, the New Frontiers School Board will expand the Harmony Elementary School at the same location. In June, the City approved a tripartite agreement with the two school organizations.

As there is currently a baseball field in the park, the City and the New Frontiers School Board have committed to constructing a baseball field « or any other sports infrastructure of the same nature » on another New Frontiers-owned property in Châteauguay.
