Le 15 juillet 2010, la journée de construction de notre structure de jeu et de notre parc à la mémoire de Maria Dupont, approche rapidement.

July 15th, build day is fast approaching and we still need your help. This great community event starts up on Tuesday, July 13. We need 4-6 volunteers that are able to lift 100 lbs to put in place the skeleton of our structures. Welding, mixing and pouring cement will also take place on Tuesday.
On Wednesday July 14th, we need again 4-6 volunteers whose task would be to measure, mark and arrange all the pieces.
The big day, July 15th , we will be assembling all the components. We are hoping to be completed by 2PM. This day will be the final steps of this great community project.
This is the first event of “Le Festival Chateauguay 2010”. Please join us.
