Karidogiannis delivers fast on election promise<\/i><\/b>

Laval Rowing Club\u2019s<\/a> 320 members will be getting a new teaching and training facility, thanks to support from the city and the provincial government.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s announcement, Nov. 22, made good on a campaign promise by newly elected Abord \u00e0 Plouffe Councillor Vasilios Karidogiannis. <\/p>\n

Karidogiannis discovered the club\u2019s facilities during a riverfront interview with The Suburban,<\/i> Aug. 23. He was so impressed with how the club\u2019s popular program fit his aim to transform the district\u2019s neglected waterfront, that he spontaneously declared his support for helping it to find a solution for its overcrowded shoreline premises. <\/p>\n

Within three weeks of being elected, the new city government has moved to help the club realize its dream of building a centre that will accommodate a growing membership that is overflowing from its crowded current premises adjacent to St. Maxime High School. <\/p>\n

Karidogiannis said that the club exemplifies the vast, as-yet untapped potential of the Laval shoreline. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Laval Rowing Club was a diamond in the rough that I discovered during the election campaign,\u201d he told The Suburban,<\/i> following last week\u2019s announcement. \u201cIt is one of the places that I want to help promote as much as possible.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI intend to become a member myself,\u201d he added, \u201cIt will help me to keep fit and enjoy the calm and serene waterfront location. I plan to encourage others to join and take advantage of Laval\u2019s beautiful river and waterfront.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe city recognized that the Laval Rowing Club is already very well-attended,\u201d confirmed city spokeswoman Cath\u00e9rine Erazola. \u201cThey have also played host to several major sporting events including the Paton Challenge, which brought together nearly 300 Ontario and Quebec athletes. We hope to welcome more such interprovincial as well as international waterborne athletic meets to Laval.\u201d<\/p>\n

Erazola noted that the city has long supported the Laval Rowing Club, which was founded in 1956, helping it to buy docks and offering assistance rebuilding, after a 2007 fire that damaged its facilities. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe new centre will feature an indoor rowing basin second to none in Quebec,\u201d she said. \u201cIt will also have a weight training area and be able to accommodate more family activities.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n
\n\u201cThe budget and timetable for completion have not yet been disclosed,\u201d Erazola concluded. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
