Featured photo is the skating rink at Parc Haendel in Candiac.Photo credit: Nordic Structure. For me, the refrigerated skating rink with a roof in North Hatley is an incredible architectural project that will add “panache” to North Hatley. Especially in winter, the area is somewhat lacking in activities! What’s more, our winters are very variable […]
North Hatley’s Parc des Rivières was once a municipal landfill, true or false?
A number of citizens have told me that the current location of the soccer field (where the goals are poorly placed!) and skating rink in winter was once a municipal landfill site. This would have prompted a move from the refrigerated skating rink in Parc des Rivières to the tennis courts at Pleasant View Beach. […]
Religious community interested in acquiring North Hatley’s Inter-foi Church
The owner of the Inter-Foi North Hatley spiritual church has been approached by a religious group interested in acquiring the site. According to this group, the location is perfectly positioned. The religious group is very interested in acquiring the church to house their congregation. In fact, I can understand their interest, since the site offers […]
Sherbrooke’s refrigerated ice rink costs $130,000 a year to maintain
Many towns and cities have had the opportunity to install a refrigerated ice rink. Such a rink makes it possible to extend and promote the practice of skating and ice hockey for the entire surrounding population. North Hatley will also have this opportunity, thanks to a million-dollar donation from the Pollock family. What’s more, the […]
Still no soccer goals in place at Parc des Rivières as of June 23
I understand that the Municipality of North Hatley has its hands full with the master plan, managing the many grants and dock rentals. However, placing soccer goals so that children can play is essential in my opinion. It doesn’t take much! In fact, I just passed the park and some kids were playing soccer farther […]
Canton de Hatley: Reasons for refusing to renew recreation agreement
A press release was published on June 16, 2025 on the Township of Hatley’s website detailing the reasons for refusing to continue the Recreation Agreement with North Hatley, including access to Pleasant View Beach. When I called North Hatley on June 13, the response was that the Township of Hatley had refused the agreement. At […]
When will we have well-positioned soccer goals with nets?
It’s June 12 and the soccer goals are still in a terrible state. It’s impossible to play soccer with these goals. It’s a shame for our youngsters, they can’t even kick the ball towards the goal because the other goal is blocking them. No doubt there’s a lot to be done in the village and […]
Is the North Hatley marina a danger to people?
Every time I pass by the marina, I ask my children to step aside, because I’m afraid it’s going to collapse on them. Now I see young people working for the 4 Lakes rental company going in and out of the marina. It really worries me that a sad accident could happen. But, I figure […]
Unkempt grass in the municipal parking lot and at the North Hatley marina
Since the beginning of summer, I’ve noticed that grass is growing around the marina and in the municipal parking lot. To be honest, the marina building is in a state of disrepair, so when you add long grass, you’d think the whole thing had been abandoned. I understand that the municipality of North Hatley doesn’t […]
