History

Olive Urquhart lived from 1907 to 1987. She was elected Pointe-Claire first and only female mayor from 1954 to 1956 and from 1958 to 1961.

Great visionary, she contributed significantly and remarkably to our city’s development, including the entire industrial park sector.

From the time she took office as mayor in 1954, Ms. Urquhart was dedicated to the planning and development of the city, in full growth, with the construction of public utility services, new buildings, an elementary school (Lakeside Heights) and John Rennie High School. In 1955, she created the position of City Manager to ensure the coordination of the City’s departments.

At that time, there was a tradition that Anglophone and Francophone mayors alternated every two years.  Ms. Urquhart’s first term therefore ended in 1956, at a time when Pointe-Claire was growing strongly, After serving as councillor between 1956 and 1958, she was reelected mayor by acclamation in 1958.

Ms. Urquhart breathed life into Pointe-Claire with her dynamism and vitality through numerous achievements. She particularly contributed to the construction of the water purification plant (1958) to meet the needs of the growing population and an industrial park in full expansion, while ensuring the fluoridation of drinking water. She also participated in the construction of the Lakeshore General Hospital, beginning in 1959, in addition to defining the vocation of Stewart Hall as a cultural centre, between 1959 and 1960.

The new sports centre, which is the gateway to our industrial park, was the ideal place to pay tribute to this pioneer, who contributed substantially to the city and Pointe-Claire’s quality of life. This official naming  of the new municipal sports centre was adopted at the regular meeting of March 8 2022, on International Women’s Day.

The vocation of a building

The building was constructed by the YMCA in 1986 for the 30th anniversary of its presence in Pointe-Claire. Its philosophy is to help people develop a healthy lifestyle for both body and mind. The YMCA’s new philosophy: to help people develop a healthy lifestyle for both body and mind. The centre created the first successful fitness instructor training program. The West Island YMCA was then recognized as a leader in Canada in terms of training.

In June 1988, the West Island YMCA Family Center, as it was called at the time, was inaugurated in this building to pursue its mission of serving the success of young people, people with special needs and families.

In 2021, the City of Pointe-Claire acquired the building. The YMCA benefits from this partnership to continue to offer services alongside municipal activities.
