The City of Châteauguay has agreed to pay the 15% increase requested by the City of Saint-Constant in the intermunicipal agreement that allows Châteauguay residents to swim at the Saint-Constant aquatic complex at a reduced rate.

 According to Châteauguay, the agreement is valid until August 2025, when its own indoor pool is scheduled to open. In September, the City of Saint-Constant informed its neighbour that it would not renew its partnership unless it agreed to a 15% adjustment to cover administrative costs, given that the Municipality now manages the pool.

In a resolution adopted in September, Saint-Constant stated that the agreement was due to expire in March 2025 and that it had received no response to its request from Châteauguay.

Châteauguay Mayor Eric Allard, however, asserts that the agreement was already scheduled to run until August 2025. “We accept indexation, but it was always clear that it was until August 2025,” he said in an interview.

The newspaper asked the Ville de Saint-Constant why the resolution indicated March instead. We had not received an answer at the time of writing.

The additional cost to Châteauguay will be approximately $9,000.
