As part of the current pilot project and to limit the number of gatherings in compliance with the health measures related to the pandemic, cross-country skiing on the trails laid out by the City on the private grounds of the Beaconsfield Golf Club is reserved for Pointe-Claire residents this winter.

The cross-country ski trails are planned on the private grounds of the Beaconsfield Golf Club, in the section south of Highway 20.

The Beaconsfield Golf Club will be suspending sledding activities this winter due to civil liability and insurance issues. (document in French only)

Due to the planning and safety standards to which the City is subject, the project is under study and discussions are underway with the Beaconsfield Golf Club regarding the possibility of resuming these activities in the 2021-2022 winter season.
