It played host to the handball and water polo competitions as well as being the training centre for athletics, swimming and field hockey during the games.OverviewThe facility is made up of two buildings: the Michel-Normandin arena and the main building itself. At the heart of the facility lies a ten-lane Olympic-size swimming pool and smaller pool with diving towers, home to the award-winning CAMO swim club, as well as an indoor track, an omni-sport training room and a number of gymnasiums. On the grounds lie a number of other installations: a running track, a regulation-sized soccer pitch, a second pitch with an artificial surface, originally designed for field hockey, but resurfaced in 2006 and configured for soccer and Canadian football, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and so forth.
