As outlined in Canada’s defence policy, Strong, Secure, Engaged, the Government of Canada is investing in Defence infrastructure to provide our military personnel with modern, functional, and green facilities in which to work and train.

“Through our defence policy Strong, Secure, Engaged, our government is expanding our Reserve Force, modernizing Defence infrastructure, and taking care of the future training and operational needs of our people. I am proud that we are delivering on the new Saint-Hubert Armoury, a green and modern facility which will support the future success of Canada’s Reserve Force in the Montreal South Shore area.”

Harjit S. Sajjan, Defence Minister

“This new facility is a great example of the investments National Defence is making in green infrastructure across Canada. Greening Defence infrastructure will help us use less energy, lower our greenhouse gas emissions, and build a cleaner, healthier, more affordable future that we can be proud to leave our children.”

Serge Cormier, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence

“Garrison Saint-Hubert is an integral part of the Montreal South Shore community. This kind of investment in Defence infrastructure provides economic opportunities for the region and supports our Reservists by providing them with new facilities in their communities.”

Sherry Romanado, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Seniors

• The new and renovated facilities will be used by a number of Reserve Force units, including Le Régiment de Maisonneuve, 34 Service Battalion, 41 Military Police Platoon, and the 34 Canadian Brigade Group Headquarters in the greater Montreal region. 

• A $25-million contract was awarded to Laval-based Groupe Geyser Inc. for this construction project. The $2.6-million design contract was awarded to Birtz Bastien Beaudoin Laforest, and Stantec.

• The total project value of $50 million included construction, design fees, contract management, communications, furnishings and landscaping.

• Completed in December 2018, the new armoury was designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED^®) Silver standards. It will help Defence reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its buildings and non-military vehicles by 40 percent (from 2005 levels) by 2030, and support the new federal emissions reduction target of 80 percent by 2050.
