A vibrant city in every season!
Dear Citizens,
After a busy summer and fall filled with new developments, it gives me great pleasure to present
this Winter–Spring 2020 Leisure Pointe-Claire guide, where you will find all of the cultural
activities, sports and day camps available in your city, with something for all tastes, ages and
interests.
Pointe-Claire boasts exceptional indoor and outdoor facilities that are a source of great pride
for us. These places are bustling with the many activities that take place there. We invite you to
take full advantage of them, whether it be alone, as a family or with friends.
john belvedere In the centre of the city, the beautiful Terra-Cotta Park is one of these special places. With its
mayor
4.4 kilometres of hiking trails, this 40-hectare woodland offers extraordinary opportunities to
enjoy nature just steps from home. To make the most of it, a special program of activities is
planned there from January to May.
One Saturday a month, we invite you to rediscover this park through various daytime and
evening activities, such as hiking, snowshoeing, enjoying tales and games, and of course,
hot chocolate! In the spring, you can take part in a cleaning bee to beautify the park
or observe birds in their environment with the help of an expert.
Those who prefer to stay warm will not be disappointed! Whether it be the Holiday cultural
program, the Night of Reading, or the family sockhop, everyone will have their share of fun,
entertainment and culture as 2020 gets underway.
Enjoy!
John Belvedere
