The beach is the place of all meetings. At the ecological level, it is the richest environment because it is the meeting point between the aquatic world and the terrestrial world. On a cultural level, it is a place that is prized by all, offering a privileged point of contact with the water. If the first settlers heard the rustling of the aspen leaves that once populated the banks, the filling in and anarchic development have vitiated the landscape to the point of making it inaccessible, even invisible. Like a sheet of paper, the site is fragile. If it is the bearer of collective memory, it is also a source of play, expression and exploration. The site then stands as a blank page. The unique opportunity to re-establish a healthy relationship between man and the river and to redefine the riverbank as a biological corridor of great ecological diversity is offered to us.

Points of interest:
The scale of the project, which seems appropriate for the community
The links between the entrance and the gazebo, and the high walkway
The access to the water and the dock which seems to offer a swimming area protected from the current
The proposed water games and ice rink
The location of the building
The potential of the surface coatings and materiality
Points of questioning (reservations):
The location of the building in relation to the planned infrastructure (pipes crossing the site)
The formalization of the building
The shape of the platform, like an "S"
The diversity of accesses to be favored
