Road works in Boisbriand

The City of Boisbriand is informing residents that it will carry out several road works on its territory in the coming months, namely asphalting work on three main arteries and the construction of a sidewalk on Bourassa Avenue.
“These projects reflect our desire to beautify our living environment, our city and our neighborhoods. The paving work alone represents a significant investment of $ 2.5 million, ”said Mayor Marlene Cordato.
The paving work will take place during the months of October and November, sometimes simultaneously at the following locations:
Boul. of the Grande-Allée | Between ch. de la Grande-Côte and av. Alexandre-le-Grand;
Boul. du Faubourg| With the exception of the intersection of boul. du Faubourg and boul. Grande-Allée, where work will be carried out in 2021;
Boul. of Curé-Boivin | Between ch. de la Grande-Côte and access to the A-15.
Alternating traffic will be permitted on the construction sites of Grande-Allée and Faubourg boulevards. As for boul. du Curé-Boivin, it will be closed during the construction period. Motorists will have to take the proposed detour.
Avenue Bourassa
A sidewalk will be added on Avenue Bourassa, between boul. de la Grande-Allée and avenue de la Bretagne, to ensure pedestrian safety. The short-term project will start over the next few weeks and end around the beginning of November.

On Tuesday the 27th of October the Sainte-Thérèse is organizing a zoom teleconference at 7pm to present the AKOR expedition. With almost all of its events cancelled due to Covid-19 restriction the only activities that remain are the online ones.
In 2021, five friends will perform a major first in the world of exploration: the first crossing of Canada in a North-South axis, using only human strength for propulsion and without stop.
Never attempted before, this daring journey involves three months of skiing, two months of canoeing and a month of cycling. The equivalent of 190 marathons, or 20% of the Earth’s circumference.
In addition to recounting the preparation of the AKOR 2021 expedition, Nicolas Roulx will be giving a fascinating account of the expeditions previously carried out by his team. The event is free of charge. The joining instruction are on the city’s site.
Who is Nicolas Roulx?
Nicolas tasted canoeing for the first time at the age of 7 at Camp de Vacances Kéno. He finished his career in Kéno 15 years later, after having been, among other things, an expedition monitor and operations assistant, taking care of the logistics of equipment and expeditions. This fascinating place from a human point of view allowed him to develop a passion that is now burning: that of transmitting his knowledge and teaching what interests him! This is what led him to complete a bachelor’s degree in secondary school history and geography in 2017. Nicolas has been fascinated for several years by the vast expanses of the Far North, which he has already visited during a trip to the Yukon and Alaska. His love for the Nordic winter grew rapidly, and he made sure to feed it through ski expeditions; he notably crossed the Groulx mountains in collaboration last winter with his partner in crime Guillaume Moreau.
This kind of expedition allows Nicolas to fully experience one of the reasons why he loves the outdoors: pushing his body to its limit, then the next moment, marveling at the silently falling snowflakes. It is, moreover, with his gaze riveted to the North that the athlete on the move has just undertaken a master’s degree in geography, which will lead him to analyze the power relations between mining companies and the Inuit communities of Nunavut, to understand the impacts of Arctic economic development and climate change on Inuit well-being. His remarkable fascination does not discriminate between the small pleasures of life and large-scale projects, which pushes him to invest fully in the preparation of the AKOR expedition.

COVID-19 Quebec October 6th 2020
Covid Situation in Quebec

For now, the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is under control in Québec, but the present weeks are critical. Community transmission of the virus now extends to all regions of Québec. The Government is taking all the necessary measures to contain the contagion as much as possible.

The latest data of the evolution of COVID-19 over the past 24 hours in Québec reveal:

  • 1,364 new cases, bringing the total number of people infected to 81,014.
  • Also, 3 new deaths have occurred in the last 24 hours, to which is added 9 deaths which have occurred between September 29 and October 4, 1 death which has occurred before September 29 and 4 deaths which have occurred at an unknown date. However, the total is at 5,899 due to the withdrawal of 2 deaths that the investigation has shown not to be attributable to COVID‑19.
  • The number of hospitalizations increased by 36 compared to the previous day, for a cumulative total of 397. Among these, the number of people in intensive care increased by 5, for a total of 67.
  • The samples conducted on October 4 amount to 20,339 for a total of 2,500,916.

Note that the majority of data are presented according to the day they were entered. They are extracted at 4 p.m. at the date shown and cover the preceding 24 hours. However, the availability of the data on samples involves an additional delay of 24 hours and these correspond to the number of samples taken on the date shown. It should also be noted that the data prior to those of the last 24 hours presented in the column Deaths have been adjusted according to the actual dates of death. This explains the variation of some data compared to those presented in previous press releases. The daily death toll is influenced by the time required for the physician to report the death, the time required to complete the investigation to confirm that the death was attributable to COVID-19, and the entry into the system.

Sainte-Thérèse presents the first check of the heritage building renovation grant program

The City of Sainte-Thérèse presented the first check associated with the new heritage building renovation grant program. On October 2, Benjamin Saint-Jacques and Mélanie Frappier, owners of 26, rue Morris, received an amount of $ 3,500 for the repair of the masonry joints of the side wall and the chimney of their home.

This financial assistance enabled them to cover part of the excess costs associated with work carried out on a heritage building, which are higher than those of similar work carried out on a contemporary building. Other renovation projects will soon see the light of day thanks to this program.

“It is a source of pride for the City of Sainte-Thérèse to offer such a program to citizens. These interventions will strengthen the distinctive image of the Teresian territory. Thus, the restored, maintained and preserved heritage buildings will allow for historical development within a living environment where culture and heritage come together. », declared the mayoress of Sainte-Thérèse, Mrs. Sylvie Surprenant.

Remember that last February, the City of Sainte-Thérèse identified the eligible buildings and launched this grant program totaling $ 300,000, aimed at the preservation and enhancement of heritage buildings and their original characteristics. To date, the owners of buildings meeting the criteria can receive between 25% and 50% of the value of the renovations carried out, up to a maximum of $ 20,000, for work on walls, roofs, doors. and windows, and architectural details and protrusions of their residence.

A new social worker for the Thérèse-De Blainville PD
Ms. Catherine Murray Truchon will follow up with citizens who have used the services of the police as part of psychosocial interventions.

The Régie de police Thérèse-De Blainville is proud to inform the citizens of the region of the hiring of a new social worker within the police organization.
Ms. Catherine Murray Truchon will follow up with citizens who have used the services of the police as part of psychosocial interventions. She will participate daily in problem solving in order to support the most vulnerable citizens of our community. Her intervention work will thus offer the necessary support to the person involved and to his relatives. She will intervene in various psychosocial situations that can sometimes be complex in collaboration with partners in the health and social services network and in the community, in order to propose the measures necessary to achieve the objectives set. She will inform and support citizens with the resources that can provide them with help.
“We are partners of the community; our priority is first and foremost the health and safety of the person. This appointment is the logical continuation of our proactive strategy aimed at prevention, problem solving, partnership and proximity with our citizens. We have noticed a growing demand for calls related to issues of this nature in the territory. The addition of a social worker within the Régie completes the service offer already offered to the population. »said director Francis Lanouette.
“This improvement complements perfectly with the services already offered within the Régie. For several years, we have been proud to offer a service focused on the needs of citizens living in difficult situations,” added Inspector Martin Charron of the Prevention and Operational Support section. This news comes at a time of great need.
This project added a new partnership with the organization La Halte des Proches. This association supports and guides relatives accompanying people with mental disorders and offers additional services in their recovery.
Finally, it should be noted that this service offer is made possible thanks to financial assistance from the Government of Quebec, obtained under the program to support municipalities in crime prevention.

As part of the fight against the second wave of COVID-19
As part of the transition to red and orange alert levels in Laurentides and in order to protect vulnerable people and staff, the CISSS des Laurentides temporarily limits visits to its various facilities. Thus, users hospitalized or accommodated in a CISSS facility will only be able to receive visits from their family caregivers.
“These new rules allow us to maintain a certain number of must-see visitors and prevent our patients from being kept in solitude as was sometimes the case during the first wave of COVID-19. Nevertheless, we must limit traffic in our various healthcare and service settings in order to reduce the risk of contamination and to facilitate the application of protective measures for all, ”explained Ms. Rosemonde Landry, President and CEO of CISSS des Laurentides, hoping that the population understands the importance of these measures.
Visits by family caregivers
All caregivers who do not present symptoms and are not confirmed COVID cases are authorized to access the hospital environment or the living and rehabilitation environments of their loved ones, such as residential and care centers long-term, private residences for seniors, intermediate resources, family-type resources, hospital centers, as well as rehabilitation settings.
Exceptions apply to people in palliative care, at the end of life or for children requiring the presence of their parent, as well as in sectors for which an accompanying person is required.

Reopening Hardy Park

On September 25, the Town of Rosemère officially reopened Hardy Park following major renovations carried out in the summer of 2020. The $280,000 investment really spruced up this neighbourhood park.
Chosen by and for young people, the new playground equipment was the subject of a popular vote among young Rosemerites attending the Town’s day camp and daycare services. From now on, the new Hardy Park features two large playground structures for 2-12-year-olds, vast sand areas, new street furniture lined with magnificent shrub and perennial plantings and new swings, including a parent-child three-seater!
“The objective of the project was to provide residents with a quality living environment that meets the needs of today’s Rosemère families. Who better than our youngsters to find out what young people prefer in terms of play facilities? The end result is worth the extra effort,” stated Mayor Eric Westram.
In 2021, it will be Hamilton Park’s turn to get a makeover. With a projected investment of $350,000, work is expected to begin this spring.
