The new 30,000 sq. ft. District Gourmand will occupy the main level of the former Sears building, with the former food court being reimagined into new retail space to house Dollarama and Linen Chest.

Greener Dining

In alignment with Cadillac Fairview's national sustainability program, Green at Work, CF Fairview Pointe Claire is pleased to partner with Solucycle, a Quebec-based company offering an innovative solution for food waste management and recovery. Through Solucycle, and in combination with waste sorting stations offered in the District gourmand, food matter is sorted and collected from retailers throughout the centre converting it into biogas to be transformed into renewable natural gas following the principles of the circular economy.

La Maison Simons Coming Soon

The next phase of the overall redevelopment plan will introduce the first Simons location to the West Island in Spring 2022. Simons will move into the space formerly occupied by Sears located at the western end of the property on the second and third floors, with the ground-floor space being home to the new District Gourmand.

Amenities & Safety Precautions

To help consumers and retailers adapt to provincial occupancy guidelines, the centre introduced a range of digital tools and services including LiVE by CF, an all-in-one shopping app that provides guests with property-specific maps and icon-based navigation cues, including the location of hand sanitizing stations, to help plan the most efficient shopping routes. Recently, the centre introduced a capacity indicator where guests can access real-time capacity information via the centre's website to better plan their visits.

Since the beginning of the pandemic the centre has put in place a number of additional measures, including signage to support safe traffic flow and physical distancing, use of PPE, increased cleaning of high touch point surfaces, all in an effort to help fight the spread of COVID-19.
