Message from the Mayor

February 13, 2026

Hello residents of LaSalle, 

This month marks the 30th anniversary of Black History Month, a time to honour the legacy and lasting impact of Black Canadians throughout our nation’s history. On behalf of the Town of LaSalle, I would like to recognize the essential contributions of Black Canadians in building our country, championing civil rights, and advancing social justice– efforts that continue to shape Canada today. It is important that we all support our Black community and celebrate the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers who are redefining excellence across every field. 

Family Day in LaSalle 

As we approach Valentine’s Day and the Family Day weekend, I remind everyone that there are many wonderful activities open to the public here in LaSalle. I encourage residents to visit The Loop, open daily from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm. It is a great way to stay active and spend time with your loved ones during this cold season. Additionally, free skate loaning will be available Saturday to Monday, between 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Food trucks will be on-site on Monday during the same hours. Visitors are encouraged to check The Loop trail status before heading out.

On Monday, February 16, the Vollmer Centre will be offering recreational swims and public skating opportunities for Family Day. I encourage families to visit our website for the full schedule and registration details. Pre-registration is highly recommended! Secure your spot by registering. 

Municipal offices will be closed for the Family Day holiday on Monday, February 16, 2026 and will resume regular hours on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. On behalf of myself and Council, we hope you find some time this month to spend time with your loved ones!
