The city therefore decides to establish a public bath in each working-class neighbourhood between 1910 and 1930. Opened in 1927, the G\u00e9n\u00e9reux bath thus responds to a hygiene need as well as offering a recreational and sporting function. In the 1970\u2019s, the pool becomes the training site for the Club aquatique Montr\u00e9al Olympique (CAMO). The pool closes in 1992 after experiencing heating and plumbing problems. The \u00c9comus\u00e9e moves in in 1996.     <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class='htb htb-bootstrap-container bg-color color-none'><div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container-xxl mb-0\">\n\t\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-xxl-1\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-xxl-5\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inauguration of the G\u00e9n\u00e9reux Bath<\/h2>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-xxl-5\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>In 1927, the G\u00e9n\u00e9reux bath is formally opened in the presence of mayor M\u00e9d\u00e9ric Martin and city councillor Damase G\u00e9n\u00e9reux, whose name is given to the building.
