Rehabilitation of the Alexandra Park pool and chalet

Construction work is almost entirely complete. City crews will begin landscaping and maintenance work so that the site can be opened to the public. If everything goes as planned and the weather cooperates, the site will open to the public on July 1.

Last week, Project Manager Toan-Anh La and Assistant Director of Public Works Louis-Philippe Landry were pleased to welcome Mayor Loïc Blancquaert, Councilwoman Stéphanie Verreault, and Councilman Patrick Vallerand to the Alexandra Pool, which will be open to the public for the summer season. Although the official opening date cannot be announced due to weather conditions that may affect the completion date, the excitement was palpable. It will be even more so next week, as landscaping begins around the pool and mechanical tests are conducted—signs that the end is near. Meanwhile, finishing work on the floors and the staining of the chalet’s roof will be carried out.

This week, the landscaping and pergolas will be installed. Inside the chalet, the plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and carpentry teams will continue their work to ensure everything is ready for the opening. Around the pool and wading pool, the painters will continue their work.

Summer is in the air at Alexandra Pool! The wading pool and main pool will be painted while paving work continues. Inside the clubhouse, plumbing, ventilation, and electrical work will be in the final stages of installation. Floor finishing will also begin, as will carpentry work.

The work that began last week is continuing: pouring concrete for the relaxation area (concrete deck) and installing the curtain walls (with plenty of windows) on the pavilion.

The team is starting work on the formwork and rebar for the concrete lounge area, where you can relax while the kids splash around in the water. Installation of the chalet’s curtain walls (featuring plenty of windows) and painting of the pool and wading pool are also on the agenda.

This week, construction at the Alexandra Pool will be completely out of sight for the Lamberton community. Only interior work on the clubhouse is scheduled. Our teams will be finishing up the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations.

This week, our teams are continuing to lay brick on the chalet’s exterior walls, while inside, they will install the window frames and begin painting. The chalet’s plumbing and ventilation systems will also be installed.

This week, our teams will lay bricks on the exterior walls of the cabin, continue installing the electrical system, and connect the plumbing. It feels like we’re almost there…

Work is nearing completion at the Alexandra Pool site: we are currently installing the exterior cladding on the chalet, which will be made of brick. Inside, crews will install the electrical distribution system to carry electricity from the transmission grid to the chalet, stepping it down to usable voltage levels. Work to install interior partitions and doors is also scheduled to continue.

This week, our teams will begin installing the exterior brick cladding on the cottage. Inside, we are continuing work on the interior walls. Near the pool, we will pour the access ramp. Paving work will also take place on Régent Avenue.

This week, work will focus primarily on the cottage. The crews will insulate the exterior walls, begin interior electrical work, and continue installing interior partition walls. As for the pool, priority will be given to the access ramp, for which the formwork and reinforcement will be installed.

Our teams are starting to see the end of this wonderful project. The contractor will finish backfilling and compacting the soil around the pool this week.

As for the chalet, exterior masonry work will also be completed this week, allowing us to begin finishing the exterior envelope, specifically the installation of insulation and moisture barriers. With this phase complete, construction of the interior partition walls can begin.

Finally, as a sign that completion is near, plans are also in place to repair the sections of sidewalk damaged during construction on Régent Avenue.

This week, our teams will continue backfilling around the new pool and begin electrical work. As for the chalet, we plan to start exterior cladding work and install the mechanical systems.

This week, backfilling work around the pool continues, while pipe installation begins. As for the cottage, formwork and reinforcement work on the staircase will begin, as well as exterior cladding work.

Roofing work on the chalet is still progressing well at the Alexandra pool. The floor slab should be completed shortly, allowing concrete to be poured in two weeks.

This week, at the Alexandra Pool, crews will begin finishing work on the roof of the chalet, while plumbing and vapor barrier installation is planned under the concrete slab.

This week, our teams will complete the assembly of the steel structure for the Alexandra Pool chalet, which will allow for the installation of the cross-laminated timber (CLT) roof, an exceptionally strong material that replaces concrete and steel. The concrete for the pool walls will be poured, while formwork and reinforcement for the wading pool continue

Formwork for the pool walls is continuing, while formwork and reinforcement for the bottom of the wading pool is beginning. Work on the wading pool's drainage system will also take place during the week of September 8. Our teams will also receive the steel frame for the new chalet and will be able to begin assembly.

Work continues at the Alexandra Pool. During the week of September 1, crews will focus on:

• excavating and backfilling the wading pool;
• continuing formwork and reinforcement work on the pool walls.

Work continues at the Alexandra pool. During the week of August 25, crews will focus on:

• pouring concrete for the second part of the pool floor;
• forming and reinforcing the pool walls;
• beginning work on the retention basin to manage pool water and rainwater;
• installing new piping under the slab of the new mechanical room.

Work continues at the Alexandra Pool so that it can welcome young and old alike starting in the 2026 season. Next week, crews will excavate the wading pool and pour concrete for the bottom of the main pool. To date, approximately 25% of the work has been completed, in line with the schedule.

As part of the project, Regent Avenue will be temporarily closed to allow for the connection of sewer and water lines to the future building.
