Shows at the Center d’art La petite Église: status quo until January 2022

A lot of venue owners were relieved and delighted with the September 30th Quebec government announcement that performance venues with assigned seats will no longer be required to impose a spectator limit.

In Saint-Eustache the City, although delighted with the news, nevertheless informs the population that the La petite Église art center will not be able to be filled to capacity until 2022 due to the work currently taking place there.

Status quo until January 2022

The restoration work underway at the La Petite Eglise Art Center requires that a reduced number of spectators be maintained since access to indoor toilets is currently prohibited. A sanitary block is temporarily installed outside the building to accommodate visitors but cannot meet the needs of a room filled to capacity. The bar service remains closed.

Fortunately, as of January 2022, the Desjardins room will be able to reopen at full capacity since the work will be completed. Thus, no more seats will be left free between the family bubbles

Wearing a mask at all times from October 8

In the wake of the measures announced, it is important to note that as of October 8, wearing a mask will be mandatory for all people aged 10 and over, even if the number of spectators remains small and the distance is respected. It should also be remembered that the presentation of the vaccination passport accompanied by a valid identity document remains compulsory for persons aged 13 and over.

The Culture and recreation department of the city of Lorraine won a prestigious award as well as recognition form their peers prompting the exciting congratulatory response from the mayor.

“I would like to congratulate the Recreation and Culture Department team for this award which confirms the quality of their work, their imagination and their resourcefulness in honoring our precious volunteers, despite the difficult context of the pandemic. This recognition from their peers is undoubtedly warm to the hearts of our team, which works very hard for citizens, especially since this award follows the laudatory comments received from volunteers after the event. Congratulations to each of the members who invested themselves with heart in this project and thank you to all the volunteers who participate in the well-being of our community,” said Mayor Jean Comtois.

The City of Lorraine paid tribute to the volunteers involved in organizations in the region, during a virtual gala held last June. This event, hosted by the talented Paul Houde, former resident of the municipality, highlighted the commitment and generosity of all these people who worked, from fall 2019 to December 2020, in organizations serving the people of Lorraine.

A few days before the festive evening, the members of the municipal council had even made a major tour to distribute a gift basket including gastronomic products from Quebec as well as a poster mentioning “A generous volunteer lives here – From the bottom of the heart, thank you!” »To all Lorraine volunteers working in an organization recognized by the City. These posters were installed in the front yard, so that the fellow citizens of these 141 caring people know that they contribute to the life, health and dynamism of the Lorraine community. Corneille, a well-known singer and citizen of Lorraine, concluded this virtual gala in style by performing Ensemble.

In order to reduce the risk of contamination, vaccination is also offered free of charge:

To relatives who live under the same roof with a child under 6 months old or to a person at

high risk of hospitalization or death as well as to their caregivers as well as health workers.

Vaccination is also free to children aged 6 to 23 months in good health and people aged 60 to 74 in good health.

The flu shot is available by appointment ONLY. As of now, residents can make an appointment online or by phone:

1. Online at clicsante.ca: select “Flu vaccine (Influenza)” and follow the instructions to

book your appointment.

accompany them to the vaccination sites. The Laurentian Integrated Health and Social Services Center (CISSS) reminds the population that the flu vaccine does not protect against COVID-19. For all eligible people, it is possible to receive the flu, COVID-19 and pneumococcal vaccination at the

same time, during the same appointment by checking with the vaccination teams.

TOSH security chief meets with Thérèse de Blainville PD

In an effort for engagement and mobilization to prevent racial and social profiling as well as fostering an essential partnership to get to know and communicate better on a daily basis, Mr. Luc Larocque, chief inspector at the RIPTB and Mr. Isaac Weiss, responsible for the Shomrim, were invited to discuss during a provincial webinar on the importance to get to know each other among partners in order to offer services adapted to citizens.

“We have established a partnership that lasts over time. This partnership makes it possible to intervene and interact with members of the TOSH community on security issues, with a better knowledge of their habits and customs and a better knowledge of our role and responsibility on the part of citizens.” Said Luc Larocque, chief inspector at the RIPTB

Mainly involved in communication issues, these partners have learned over time to know each other, to separate the roles and functions of each other and to coordinate their actions. Proactive, they do not wait for the crisis to communicate and mobilize, on the contrary!

The Shomrim are organizations of proactive volunteer Jewish civilian patrols which have been set up in Hassidic communities in neighborhoods across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom (among other countries) to combat burglary, vandalism, mugging, assault, domestic violence, nuisance crimes, antisemitic attacks, and to help and support victims of crime. They also help locate missing people.

Shomrim volunteers are unarmed and do not have the authority to make arrests, other than citizen’s arrests. They are effective in tracking and detaining suspects until police arrive.

University affiliations

The Integrated Health and Social Services Center (CISSS) des Laurentides announced its affiliation with the University of Montreal and the University of Quebec in Outaouais. These partnerships will help develop research and teaching activities that take place in hospitals, CHSLDs, CLSCs and rehabilitation centers in the region.

Affiliation to these two universities, recognized for their quality of teaching, will have several positive effects, in particular by making it possible to:

Participate in the development of knowledge and methods of intervention;

Integrate new recognized practices for the benefit of patients;

Attract future professionals to work in the Laurentians;

Promote learning and innovation within teams;

Strengthen commitment to training the next generation in health and social services.

For the President and CEO of the CISSS des Laurentides, Ms. Rosemonde Landry, this was excellent news. “These affiliations are the logical continuation of an already existing collaboration with these two educational institutions. The University of Montreal has been our main university partner for internships for a very long time. As for the Université du Québec en Outaouais, it is an essential ally in our region, whether in research or teaching. It is with great pride that we make a significant contribution to the training of the next generation and to the advancement of knowledge, which are key assets in providing the best health care and social services to the community, ”she said.

The contracts recently approved by the Ministry of Health and Social Services thus consolidate the links already well established with these partners.

Critical situation continues at Saint-Eustache hospital

Due to the high occupancy rates in its emergency rooms in Saint-Eustache and Saint-Jérôme, the Integrated Health and Social Services Center (CISSS) des Laurentides asks the population with non-urgent health problems to opt for other solutions than going to the emergency room, particularly in these two places.

Patients whose situation is not urgent are invited to consult their family doctor, pharmacist, a doctor in a walk-in clinic or to contact Info-Santé, by dialing 811, where a nurse can contact them. advise and direct them to the appropriate service. The President and CEO, Ms. Rosemonde Landry, however, assures the population that urgent cases will be taken care of quickly throughout the region, including in Saint-Eustache and Saint-Jérôme. “A person in a critical and unstable situation is of course always invited to go to the emergency room.

Several actions are in place to support the care teams, including collaboration with our partners to reorient some people who do not need immediate care.

Murder in Blainville

The 26-year-old suspect arrested in Blainville for presumably killing his business partner is said to have made at least one incriminating call after the murder according to the media.

Simon Décarie was apprehended by investigators of crimes against the person of the Sûreté du Québec in Saint-Lin-Laurentides. He was to appear before a judge by videoconference on Friday the 8th, at the Saint-Jérôme courthouse, to be charged with murder.

If he wants to prove his innocence, Décarie will have a lot to do since he made incriminating remarks with at least one of his friends, about two hours after the murder.

“It looked like a goodbye call,” reported the boyfriend in question, who allowed the Journal de Montreal to relate the call, without disclosing his name.

“He told me that I would not see him again and that he was going inside. He told me he had done the right thing. This morning I saw the newspaper article and made the connection.

The police were on the 61st Avenue West in Blainville for part of the day Thursday the 7th of October to investigate the crime scene where Maxime Villeneuve was killed.

According to relatives of the victim, a love triangle could be at the origin of this crime.

Maxime Villeneuve, who had no criminal record, was dating Simon Décarie’s ex-girlfriend recently, reported several friends of the young men. The suspect was said to have been enraged when he learned about it on Wednesday the 6th.

A few weeks ago, Décarie was also arrested by the Mirabel police for breaking and entering and threatening the life of his ex.

In addition to being in love with the same person, Maxime Villeneuve and Simon Décarie were partners in a construction company specializing in roofing.

How the crime unfolded

The crime occurred shortly after 11 pm Wednesday the 6th of October when an individual appeared before the Maxime Villeneuve residence, located on the 61st West Avenue near Boulevard Curé-Labelle.

The gunman opened fire a few times before his vehicle, even leaving tire marks on the ground. The commotion caused several neighbors to alert the authorities.

Police and paramedics were dispatched to the scene.

Once there, they found the victim bloodied and hit by at least one projectile from a firearm.

The young man, who was not known to police circles, was taken urgently to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries during the night.

The winners of the 2021 virtual edition of the Rosemère in Bloom contest were announced on September 29 at an awards ceremony held at the Memorial Community Centre. The contest, which was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, is now in its 32nd year. The Rosemère community is very fond of this annual horticultural tradition.

“Despite the public health measures, we are happy to have been able to hold the contest this year, in an adapted yet original format. Rosemerites are creative, proud and concerned about their environment and this is reflected in the aesthetics and composition of their landscaping and floral arrangements. Through their passion for horticulture, they contribute toward enhancing our neighbourhood and urban landscape. I would like to warmly congratulate all the participants and winners of the 2021 edition as well as the members of the Rosemère in Bloom Committee, who have brilliantly and inventively risen to the challenge of this special edition,” said Eric Westram, Mayor of Rosemère.

This year, the format was transformed into a virtual photography contest. Participants were invited to send in photos of their gardens by entering them in one of the contest categories. The Rosemère in Bloom Committee served as the panel of judges and organized the contest. 

Here are the grand-prize winners in the five different categories (residential only):

Front in Bloom: 296 Rose-Alma Street

Cosy Corner: 277 Willowtree Street

2021 virtual edition of the Secret Garden Tour

Like the Rosemère in Bloom contest, the 21st edition of the Secret Garden Tour was also held virtually. Thanks to drones, high-definition video images of eight landscaped areas were captured during the summer, with the consent of the owners who had expressed their interest, in advance, in participating in this event. These images were used in the recent production of eight video clips that will be broadcast on the Citie’s communication platforms. The first video will be posted in the next few days. Once all eight video clips are released, they will be accessible and archived on the Town’s website

Mayor Westram took the opportunity of the ceremony to thank the participants of the 2021 virtual edition of the Secret Garden Tour.

During a touching ceremony that took place on October 2, the City of Blainville paid a heartfelt tribute to the former Plan-Bouchard district councillor, Mr. Guy Frigon, who died suddenly on April 17, 2021.

” If we decided to give a name to the riding school of the Equestrian Park, that of “Guy-Frigon center”, it is to honor the memory of a man deeply committed to his city and his community. A commitment which went beyond the political framework and which was manifested at the sporting and community level. It is this commitment and the life of Guy Frigon that we are celebrating with this gesture, ”said Blainville Mayor Richard Perreault during the ceremony.

Mr. Frigon, in addition to being a city councillor much appreciated by his fellow citizens for nearly sixteen years, was involved for many years in soccer and chaired the Soccer Association from 1994 to 2004. One of his successors to the presidency, Mr. Sylvain Pereira, paid tribute to him.

Guy Frigon was also recognized for his generosity and community involvement. Until the end of his life, he supported the cause of autism in the Laurentians region and he is at the origin of the Nicola and Albert Lévy Respite House project in Blainville, which must also be enlarged during the next few months. The general manager of the Société Autisme Laurentides, Ms. Karine Brunet, testified to Mr. Frigon’s unwavering support for this cause.
