As winter settles over Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, the city’s event calendar is filled with opportunities for residents to embrace the season with activity, connection, mindfulness and civic participation. From themed skate nights to outdoor wellness walks and council discussions, the municipality’s winter programming reflects a broad effort to bring people together across age groups and interests.
Disco-Patin Lights Up the Ice
One of the standout recurring offerings this season is the “Disco-patin” series at the Parc Municipal outdoor rink. Running on multiple Saturdays including January 17, January 24, January 31, February 7 and a special extended session on February 14, the colourful skate evenings combine outdoor exercise with music and social interaction for families, friends and skaters of all skill levels.
These skate gatherings encourage residents to enjoy one of winter’s iconic pastimes in a lively atmosphere, turning a municipal ice surface into both a recreational hub and community meeting place.
Mindful Movement in Winter Landscapes
Beyond skating, the city is promoting wellness-oriented activities that take advantage of local green space even in winter. On January 25 at 10 a.m., a meditative forest walk invites participants aged 16 and older to experience the quiet of the season within Parc de l’Érablière. These slow-paced guided walks focus on mindful engagement with nature and are designed to offer physical and mental refreshment.
Following that, February 8 at 10 a.m. brings another outdoor activity at Parc de la Frayère: “Yoga-neige” for parents and children six and up. This snow-yoga session blends gentle stretching and breath with fresh winter air and provides a unique way for families to stay active together outside.
Municipal Governance in Focus
Civic life remains an integral component of the city’s winter rhythm. Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac’s municipal council will open its session cycle for the year on January 21 at 8 p.m., with a follow-up meeting scheduled for February 11 at 8 p.m. at the council chamber of city hall. These gatherings welcome public attention and input on local governance matters as the city moves deeper into 2026.
A Season of Activity Already Underway
The winter events calendar paints a picture of a municipality actively engaging citizens with a mix of recreation, wellbeing and democratic participation. With skating, outdoor wellness, and structured municipal meetings providing anchors for community life through the colder months, Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac continues to build opportunities for connection.
