In the lead up to the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Bromont, Quebec, the decision to build a permanent indoor arena at the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park has been hotly debated. At the January 7th meeting of the town council, however, the project received unanimous support.
The proposed concept for the structure will be subject to strict conditions set out by the Agricultural Society of the County of Shefford (SACS), to ensure respect for the environment and to foster the development of the unique landscape of the site.
Roger Deslauriers, general manager of the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park, said discussion about building an indoor arena on this site have been ongoing for 15 years. “The indoor arena is essential to the establishment of the first equestrian centre of excellence in Canada, for training and competition.”
