The municipal council has approved the project during the February 18 council meeting that took place in Aylmer at the Aydelu centre. The cinema is located at 115 boulevard du Plateau. This project will reduce the size of the cinema but expand the building to accommodate a new health food grocery store, Avril. 

The commercial building was originally built in 1999 and is valued at $16.9 million. The project will expand the building, renovate the exterior, modify a small section of the existing parking space, and the installation of new signs. The project will eliminate 19 parking spaces. 

Avril is an independent Quebec grocery store founded in 1995 in Granby. Today there are 13 stores across the province which include a home brand with 400 products. The store stocks healthy, natural, and organic products.
