Mont-Tremblant Circuit

Association des résidents de Mont-Tremblant pour la qualité de vie v. Courses automobiles Mont-Tremblant et al.

The Superior Court of Quebec has approved a settlement agreement reached in the class actions concerning the noise caused by car races on the Mont-Tremblant Circuit.

The settlement provides for a total payment of $2,000,000 by the former owners of the Circuit to be distributed among the eligible class members, after deduction of class counsel’s fees and disbursements of administration costs.

  • You resided between 2009 and 2018;
  • in the “nearby zone” of Circuit Mont-Tremblant. See below for a complete list of streets, roads and segments in this zone.

  • However, persons who have filed with the City of Mont-Tremblant the declaration described in article 23 of the City’s Règlement (2008)-107 concernant les usages conditionnels are not eligible to receive compensation.
  • People who have only lived in the nearby zone as of 2019 are not entitled to compensation under the settlement agreement.
  • Companies are not entitled to compensation under the settlement agreement.

THE CLAIM PERIOD IS NOW OVER.

What does the settlement agreement provide?

For people who lived in the nearby zone between 2009 and 2018, the settlement provides for a compensation based on the number of years they lived in the nearby zone between 2009 and 2018 and the date they moved in at that address. Class members are therefore not required to establish the level of noise to which they were exposed.

For people who lived in the nearby zone between 2019 and 2023, the settlement includes commitments by the new owners of the Circuit regarding future operations to reduce noise levels. These commitments are as follows:

  • Forbidding the use of the Circuit by vehicles without silencers;
  • Each season, there will be six weekends without any racing activity on the Circuit, and at least three of these will be between June 22nd and Labour Day.

What is the “nearby zone” covered by the settlement agreement?

The nearby zone consists exclusively of the following streets, roads or segments:

    1. Rue Rabellino;

If you cannot find the street on which you used to live, you are not eligible for compensation under the class actions against Circuit Mont-Tremblant and will not be able to submit a claim.

Even if you live or lived at one of the addresses in the nearby zone, you must have lived there between 2009 and 2018 to qualify for compensation.

How much compensation will I receive?

Your compensation, if you qualify, will be calculated on the basis of the compensation points awarded to you and the total points awarded to all persons whose claims have been accepted.

You will receive a compensation calculated according to the following formula:

(Your compensation points / Sum of compensation points for all eligible class members) x Available compensation amount = Your compensation

Your compensation points

x Available compensation amount = Your compensation
Sum of compensation points for all eligible class members

 

Compensation points per year of residence between 2009 and 2018 are based on the date of your first arrival at the eligible address:

  • Before 1964 : 1 compensation point;
  • Between 1964 and June 2001: 0.9 compensation point;
  • Between July 2001 and December 2006: 0.4 compensation point;
  • Between January 2007 and October 31, 2018: 0.2 compensation point.

When will the compensation be distributed?

We will analyze claims after the August 27, 2024 deadline. We must wait until then because we will analyze all claims submitted for the same eligible address together.

As a result, compensation will probably be distributed in late October or early November. However, you will receive an email beforehand to let you know.
