The new water games at Parc De Sève are open!
Young Theresians will be delighted to learn that they can extend their summer fun with brand new water games now installed at De Sève park! Located near the play modules already in place in the park. They are easily accessible from the entrance on rue Léonard.
Last February, a group of ten students from Terre-Soleil elementary school were asked to participate in the choice of the layout of the water games, giving their opinion on three proposals. This process created a lot of pride among the young participants. Some of them were also present during the official opening.
“We are delighted to have included the children in this selection process. After all, they are the primary users of these facilities! This exercise was a positive and enriching experience, both for the students and for the adults involved in the project. It is with great pleasure that we meet them again today to share this happy unveiling with them,” said Sylvie Surprenant, mayor of Sainte-Thérèse.
The water games are open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and access is free. On site, residents are asked to respect the distancing measures in force. Additionally, if someone has symptoms associated with COVID-19 (fever, cough, difficulty breathing, etc.) is asked to stay home
Appointment to the Fire Department of the City of Sainte-Thérèse
The City of Sainte-Thérèse announced the appointment of Christian Legault, as Director of the Fire Department. In his new role since August 3, he succeeds Richard Grenier, who has been in Sainte-Thérèse for 43 years.
A homecoming
Christian Legault began his career as a firefighter in 1992 with the Montreal Fire Department (SIM). From 1999 to 2005, he worked as a part-time firefighter for the City of Sainte-Thérèse. Passionate about his profession, he chose to undertake a second parallel career in 2001, that of a teacher at the Institut de Protection contre les Incendies du Québec (IPIQ) in Laval, until last year., at the time of his appointment as head of the SIM operations division. His return to the City of Sainte-Thérèse as Director of the Fire Safety Service is the logical continuation of his career path, a new step that he undertakes with great determination.
“We are delighted to be able to welcome Mr. Legault back to the City of Sainte ‑ Thérèse, this time in the position of director. His vast experience will be put to good use quickly, since he will notably be entrusted with the implementation of the new structure of the full-time barracks service. We are confident that he will be able to meet this challenge while maintaining the excellent level of services offered to Theresians,” said the mayoress of Sainte ‑ Thérèse, Ms. Sylvie Surprenant.
A well-deserved retirement
NSN covered last week the emotional ceremony of retirement of Richard Grenier, who led a brilliant career within the City of Sainte-Thérèse. He started in 1976, as an auxiliary firefighter alongside his father, himself a part-time firefighter at the time. With a heart for work and showing exemplary dedication, Mr. Grenier rose through the ranks over time to be appointed Director of the Service in 2007. In 2013, he received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal Elizabeth II for services rendered to the population.
To mark his retirement, the directors of the Entraide de la sécuritéendie des Basses-Laurentides gathered on August 14 at the Sainte-Thérèse barracks to make him a guard of honor. A gesture of solidarity which testifies to the great appreciation of his peers and which will undoubtedly remain engraved in his memory!
“The profession of firefighter is a vocation! The members of the municipal council of the City of Sainte-Thérèse would like to thank Mr. Grenier for his dedication to the community during all these years. We wish him a pleasant and well-deserved retirement! », said Ms. Surprenant.

Rosemère welcomes Fall with Harvest Day
The Town of Rosemère is inviting residents to the second edition of Harvest Day, which will take place on Saturday, September 12, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., in front of the municipal library.
In order to ensure that government orders are followed to minimize the risks of spreading COVID-19, this second edition will offer a more simplified program than last year, but just as colourful!
To minimize gatherings, Harvest Day 2020 will be based on a “public market” format, where a number of Rosemère merchants working in the food industry will be on hand. This event will, of course, comply with the health measures put in place by public health.
It is a great occasion to celebrate one of the most beautiful Canadian seasons while helping out a local charity. “The main objective of Harvest Day is to collect fruits, vegetables and non-perishable foods for Moisson Laurentides. This is why it is essential for us to maintain this charitable event. Also, it is a great opportunity to encourage our local merchants. Come and encourage them and, at the same time, contribute to a good cause for people in need!” stated Mayor Eric Westram.
In order to minimize the handling of objects and the distance between the participants, the honey extraction workshops will exceptionally be held in a virtual way. Residents will therefore be able to view the extraction of honey from our Rosemère hives in the comfort of their own homes. Details will be announced at a later date.
Please note that for this occasion, Grande-Côte Roadwill be closed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. between Adélard and Hector streets. A detour will be set up on Labelle Street for local traffic.
