After Laval was declared an Orange (Alert) zone on Tuesday for COVID-19 by the Quebec government, the city issued a list of new regulations for the number of persons who can gather or take part in activities at the various municipal facilities.

Infrastructures managed by city’s partners
The city says it is working with its partners to limit the number of people present at these installations.
As such, the Champfleury community centre, the Centre du Sablon, the Centre sportif Bois-de-Boulogne, Place Bell and Place des aînés are some of the facilities owned by the city and managed by separate organizations that will adjust the occupancy levels in accordance with government requirements as they evolve.
Interior pools and gymnasiums that are located in schools where the city offers activities will be limiting the number of people present.
For any questions or concerns beyond the above-mentioned issues, the city invites residents to contact the Quebec government’s special line for COVID-19: 1Â 877Â 644-4545.
