Holiday Season in Vaudreuil-Dorion: Important Information

As the holiday season approaches, the Ville de Vaudreuil-Dorion wishes to inform residents of the special schedules for certain services and the activities offered during this period.

Holiday Schedule

City administrative offices will be closed from December 24 to January 2, inclusive. Residents are encouraged to call 3-1-1 for requests requiring municipal intervention. Please note that the City’s Facebook page administrators will also be on holiday.

The library will be open according to its regular schedule, except on December 24, 25, 26, 31, and January 1 and 2.

Collections

Garbage and food waste collections will occur according to the usual schedule. Recyclable materials collection will be moved to Saturday, December 27, and Saturday, January 3. A special collection of surplus recyclables will take place on January 3, 2025. Additional recyclable materials can be placed next to the blue bin in transparent bags provided for this purpose. Cardboard boxes should be flattened, stacked into a single pile with a maximum size of 90 cm by 90 cm, and placed next to the blue bin.

Please note that the January 3 collection will be the last weekly collection. Subsequent collections will occur every two weeks: Friday, January 9 (Sectors A and B), Friday, January 16 (Sectors C, D, and E), and so on. This change, implemented province-wide as part of the Quebec government’s modernization of the selective collection system, applies to all residents as well as industries, businesses, and institutions (IBI) served by rolling bins, with few exceptions.

Christmas tree collection will take place from January 5 to 16, 2026. Trees must be placed at the curb before January 5. They can also be brought to parc de la Maison-Valois. After this period, trees can still be dropped off at the municipal workshops (205, rue Valois).

Swimming and Public Skating

The pool will be closed on December 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, and January 1, while the arena will be closed on December 24, 25, 26, 31, and January 1 and 2. The holiday schedule for public swimming and skating can be consulted online.

Outdoor Rinks

The opening and ice conditions of outdoor rinks depend on the weather. City teams work to make the rinks optimal as quickly as possible. To check if they are usable, residents are invited to visit the Buildings and Sports Facilities section of the new Citizen Space. This information is also available on the Ville de Vaudreuil-Dorion app, which should be updated to view the latest changes and additions. The status of the trails at  parc-nature Harwood and slides at parc de la Maison-Valois and the parc-nature is also available on the Citizen Space. Equipment rental will be available at both locations. 

Winter Parking Line and Alternative Parking

Although street  parking is prohibited from November 15 to April 1 between midnight and 7 a.m., a winter parking line (450 455-3372) has been in operation for several years to ease regulations and adapt to weather conditions. Every day at 5 p.m., a recorded message is updated to indicate whether street parking is allowed from midnight that night. Residents can also subscribe to parking notices via the  Citizen Space (also on the Ville de Vaudreuil-Dorion app).

Please note that where a “No Parking” sign is posted, it takes precedence over the recorded message. When parking is prohibited, vehicles may be parked in one of the following lots:

• Arena and former municipal library (51, rue Jeannotte)
• Jean-Marc-Ducharme Community Centre
• Parc de Bel-Air
• Parc de Dorion-Gardens (in accordance with posted signs)
• Parc de la Maison-Valois
• Parc de la montée Cadieux
• Parc Esther-Blondin
• Parc Félix-Leclerc
• Parc Lorne-Worsley
• Parc Paul-Gérin-Lajoie
• Parc Trudeau
• De la Fabrique parking lot
• Très-Sainte-Trinité Church parking lot (145, avenue Saint-Charles)

Delivery of the Municipal Calendar

The 2026 municipal calendar will be delivered to all residences in the territory during the week of December 29.
