Indoor activities in Alma: two rinks, a multisport centre, a cinema and a hall circuit
Rain in Alma moves the day indoors along a bench most towns this size cannot match: two municipal rinks, a multisport centre with an indoor track and a climbing wall, an operating cinema, a concert hall and cabaret room, two library points, and a twelve-hall circuit the Ville and its partners programme. The one indoor classic some towns fake is stated once, below, so nobody plans around it.
The rain-day anchor: Ville d'Alma Spectacles, the town's own diffuseur, which programmes the Salle Michel-Côté (605 boul. Saint-Luc, in the Pavillon Wilbrod-Dufour -- a hall of the Centre de services scolaire du Lac-Saint-Jean; a directory variant seats the salle at 850 av. Bégin, flagged here and never merged) and the cabaret room La Boîte à Bleuets, downtown. The October 2026 slate, all at 20 h on the diffuseur's own surface: at the Salle, Liliane Blanco-Binette | Toréador (Fri Oct 9), Dan Bigras | Cette voix (Sun Oct 11), Michel Barrette | Drôle depuis 1957 (Fri Oct 16), Un piano et des mots (Fri Oct 23) and the Quatuor Saguenay | Point de rencontre (Sat Oct 24); at La Boîte à Bleuets, Alphonse Bisaillon (Sat Oct 17), La Boîte à Boldock - Cabaret 2 (Tue Oct 27) and Guillaume Pineault | En rodage (Wed Oct 28). Tickets run through the diffuseur's own billetterie, with points of sale at the Bibliothèque d'Alma and the Salle itself.
The indoor bench
Ice and track
the town's ice: the Centre Mario-Tremblay, 605 boul. Saint-Luc, paired with the Plaines Vertes grounds (tennis, soccer, beach volleyball, the athletics track and football on the Ville's own recreation layer), and the Centre sportif Mistouk, 401 rue Mistouk in the secteur Saint-Cœur-de-Marie. Drop-in hockey libre runs at 3,50 $ for ages 13 and up on the calendar's own grid. The Centre multisport adds the dry-land layer: an indoor athletics track (the 51 $ annual pass on the Ville's grid) and a paroi d'escalade, under the same tarification. Add the Centre des loisirs Delisle and the Centre communautaire et culturel Michel-Marc Bouchard (5791 av. du Pont Nord) and every sector has a roof.
Film and books
the Cinéma Complexe Alma, 900 boul. des Cascades, the town's operating cinema on its own exhibitor surface: online ticketing, group screenings and room rentals on its own services pages, and a showtimes grid that rotates weekly -- the grid read for this build (Sun Oct 4 - Mon Oct 5, 2026) carried about nine titles across VF, VO and subtitled screenings. No screen count is printed anywhere in this guide: the only count in circulation sits inside an AI-generated directory summary, not an exhibitor statement, and it does not travel. Beside the commercial house, the Ciné-club d'Alma is a real repertory layer in town, carried at existence grade -- no dated 2026 screening was captured on an organizer surface. the Bibliothèque d'Alma, 500 rue Collard Ouest -- the Ville's OWN library, autonomous, NOT a Réseau BIBLIO point -- with a second in-town point, the Bibliothèque Saint-Cœur-de-Marie, 72 rue Mistouk (Réseau-affiliated), in the town's northern sector. Membership is free to Alma citizens on the Ville's own tarification grid, and the libraries double as points of sale for the diffuseur's tickets.
The hall circuit
The town's hall census runs to twelve: the Centre culturel d'Alma (400 rue Saint-Sacrement Ouest), the Collège's La Tourelle, the Salle Michel-Côté, La Boîte à Bleuets, Dam-en-Terre's salles and the Chevaliers de Colomb's Salle du Conseil 2722 (195 av. Bégin Sud) among them. No hall board is verified for Alma and no capacity is printed for any hall -- the census names rooms and operators, and stops there, on purpose.
The honest indoor gaps
Two, printed plainly. No curling happens under a municipal roof -- the town's curling is a club, across the river at Riverbend, on the winter and classes pages. And while the Ville's tarification prices a bain and five annual children's aquatics sessions, this guide names no pool facility it could not verify on the Ville's own surfaces -- the sessions are the Ville's to describe, on quoifairealma.com. Indoor Alma is ice, track, film, books and halls -- and it is plenty.
Common questions
What can you do indoors in Alma on a rainy day?
Skate or play hockey libre at the Centre Mario-Tremblay or Centre sportif Mistouk, run the Centre multisport's indoor track or its climbing wall, see a film at the Cinéma Complexe Alma, catch a Salle Michel-Côté or La Boîte à Bleuets bill, or work the Bibliothèque d'Alma's programme.
Is there a cinema in Alma?
Yes -- the Cinéma Complexe Alma (900 boul. des Cascades) operates on its own exhibitor surface with a weekly grid. No screen count is printed: the only count in circulation comes from an AI-generated directory summary, not the exhibitor.
