Thunder Bay) finally captured his first national title at the 2025 Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship in Boucherville Dean overpowered Team Québec #1’s Carl Marquis (6-2; Magog) 8-5 at Le club de Curling Boucherville for the second time in the tournament after having been the only one to take down the home team powerhouse all week “To finally cross that finish line after capturing three silvers and to bring it home to Northern Ontario “I’m super proud of my team; we struggled here and there joined on the ice by vice-skip Gino Sonego winning the game with consistency and patience The game was evenly matched through eight ends but Dean’s squad started pulling away in the fourth end when they put three points up on the scoreboard Marquis’ game looked promising in the fifth end but Dean’s strong takeout game derailed Marquis’ plan and forced him to only lay one It looked like the game could turn in the start of the sixth end with the Northern Ontarians struggling a bit with the ice that allowed Marquis’ team to set up camp in the house but Dean quickly regained his composure and put another point up on the board the scoreboard did not tell the whole story Although the seventh end finished with Dean stealing another point Team Québec #1 entered the eighth with visible determination After a few missed shots by Team Northern Ontario Team Québec #1 was sitting a potential three before Dean lined up a perfect takeout to secure his win we’re not going to settle for silver this time,’” said Dean reflecting on his collection of silver medals the bronze medal match got off to a hot start for Team British Columbia #1’s Rick Robinson (5-3; Richmond) quickly putting up four to finish off the third end While Newfoundland and Labrador’s Dennis Thiessen (4-4; St John’s) immediately countered with two points in the fourth end an improvement over the two teams’ faceoff earlier in the week that ended 8-3 in Thiessen’s favour Boucherville saw a great showing of national talent and even hosted some members of a youth curling club on Saturday The championship week ended with hope to grow the sport across the country and to different age groups The 2025 Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship was co-hosted by Défi sportif AlterGo Canada’s largest multisport event that hosts athletes with limitations for various sports around the area The 2026 event will return to Le club de curling de Boucherville from April 27 to May 3 we recommend boiling water for at least one minute before consumption until further notice and for a minimum of 24 hours We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding When the boil-water advisory period is lifted, Ville de Longueuil will communicate the news on longueuil.quebec You must use tap water that has previously been boiled to a rolling boil for one minute for all of the following uses until an advisory to the contrary is issued: Direction des communications et des affaires publiques [email protected] longueuil.quebec Do not sell or share my personal information: Le Saint-Laurent Café & Bistro is a delightful restaurant in Boucherville that alone is worth a visit to the region it’s a well-established destination that we absolutely adored Guillaume Gendron-Leroux and Laurent Giguère dates back to their childhood when they would go trick-or-treating together Laurent eventually became the chef at Chez Lionel When a friend informed them that the owners of Saint-Laurent were looking to sell they decided to take the plunge and take over the café they made the leap and bought the establishment Le Saint-Laurent Café & Bistro has transformed under their leadership While maintaining its daytime café atmosphere the place has been enriched with a bistro vibe in the evening Laurent, a graduate of the ITHQ draws a lot of inspiration from the flavors of Southeast Asia evolving with the seasons and what’s available in the market The focus is on local and seasonal ingredients we had the pleasure of tasting the capon chicken wings stuffed with pork—a delight served with gochujang mayonnaise and a variety of fresh herbs (Thai basil These are guaranteed to remain on the menu for a long time The grilled cheese sandwiches remain on the menu as does the bánh mì—we highly recommend it The menu evolves with one or two sandwiches rotating always according to the inspiration of the moment The wine list is just as dynamic as the menu “We want to support small producers;

at a house party in Boucherville, Que. developers kept a close eye on Charron Island a site of exceptional beauty a half hour’s drive from downtown Montreal as the coveted land stands at the head of a unique archipelago of relatively intact islands in the middle of the St a year before the city hosted the Olympic Games a 130-room hotel was opened under the Sheraton banner creating a major precedent for future development The mid-1970s was a time of widespread enthusiasm for road infrastructure and the Quebec government failed to see the potential for irremediable damage to the islands’ unique ecosystem and when a 2,500-unit condominium project was proposed for Charron Island The Quebec government put a hold on the project bought the island with the view of integrating it with the existing Îles-de-Boucherville National Park on four of the neighbouring islands This major commitment also included funding for a new visitor centre to be built and run by Sépaq (Société des établissements de plein air du Québec) the organization responsible for Quebec’s extensive park network Sépaq had already shown signs of wanting to give a fresh look to its parks as it upgraded its facilities it opened a visitor centre with a contemporary aesthetic in Mont-Tremblant National Park had welcomed the opportunity to steer their client away from stereotypes such as the oversized log cabins often associated with Canada’s and Quebec’s parklands For the Îles-de-Boucherville National Park Smith Vigeant was again selected (through an RFP process) to design the facility this was an entirely different proposition from their earlier visitor centre Lawrence River landscape is sprinkled with beautiful mature trees including magnificent specimens of weeping willows These trees became a leitmotif for the architects as they started their work informing the sweeping forms and delicate exterior screens of the final project which recently garnered an OAQ Award of Excellence The concept was developed through an integrated design process which took place over the course of a three-day charette The full-day workshops involved the client professionals from a wide spectrum of design disciplines One of the first decisions that evolved from these meetings was to split the program into two separate components The main pavilion—350 square metres in size—includes an arrival area a storage area and a mechanical room occupy the rest of the building 150-square-metre equipment rental facility Both buildings are striking curvilinear objects—a presence that is simultaneously surprising and harmonious blending in with the meadow-like landscape of the islands the buildings act as a gateway to the water beyond and to the activities taking place around the wharf This visual link—from the parking area to the St a requirement that was elegantly resolved with the presence of two structures on either side of a central public area In keeping with the tree canopy narrative evoked by the architects an overhang subtly signals the entrance to the main pavilion the visitor’s gaze is attracted towards the ceiling where a curvilinear shaft dominates the space recalls wanting to give the impression of “a break between trees letting the sun in.” The more prosaic explanation is that the clerestory windows integrated in the lightwell are part of a carefully studied natural ventilation system which cools the pavilion without mechanical air conditioning The client’s strong ecological agenda was key to all design decisions “Each move was intended to contribute to the overall aesthetics of the pavilion yet also play a role in the project’s sustainability.” A prime example is the lace-like wood slats on the exterior of the pavilions while allowing the sunrays to penetrate deep in the building during the cooler seasons Exterior and interior finishes are mostly cedar according to its particular location and the effect desired the exterior slats were treated with a coating that imitates the weathering process and will ensure a smooth transition in appearance as they age Triple-glazed windows open up to the surroundings while reflecting the natural beauty of the site when seen from the outside It is to be hoped that birds won’t be fooled by the illusion The desire to use contemporary architecture to emphasize the individual identity of Quebec’s parks rather than sticking to a nostalgic stereotype Of interest as well is the freedom enjoyed by the architects who were able to fully explore a conceptually driven approach rather than just accommodating a set of functions There are a number of precedents for this creative climate in park and interpretive centre design One of them is the Centre d’interprétation du Bourg de Pabos Resulting from an early architectural competition somewhat flamboyant pavilion set the tone for new directions in architecture and gave hope to generations of young architects in Quebec Traditional procurement methods are still all too prevalent for most building types in Quebec and in Canada The incentive to come up with creative solutions is obviously not as strong for the architects as it is when they take part in a competition In spite of this more constrained selection process the jewel-like Îles-de-Boucherville pavilions are proof that architects of talent such as Smith Vigeant can come up with surprising

PressPublished: February 12, 2022 at 1:58PM EST In most Canadian cities grabbing a snow brush and cleaning off your car before you can head to work in the morning is all part of enduring the winter months it’s not uncommon to have to first find your car in the morning after an overnight snowstorm leaves it completely buried snowstorms are mostly an inconvenience in northern Canadian cities leaving side streets impassible until plows finish with major routes Three successive ice storms brought down power lines and the towers supporting them that take much longer to fix leaving over 1.5 million people without power in the middle of Winter A lack of power doesn’t just make it difficult for people to stay warm and feed themselves it also makes it difficult for elected authorities and emergency personnel to plan and coordinate repairs and efforts to assist the people they represent So while staring down endless questions about when power would potentially be restored came up with a clever plan to at least get the town’s city hall and emergency warming shelters up and running in the immediate future Modern locomotives run on diesel fuel instead of coal or wood as their steam-powered ancestors did but the fuel is actually used to power onboard generators that create electricity to power the electric motors that drive the train’s wheels modern locomotives are really just giant mobile generators and Gadbois had recalled stories about them being used to provide power to small towns in rural northern Quebec several years prior After some calls to the Canadian National Railway the diesel locomotive M420W 3502 rolled into Boucherville to provide some much-needed assistance The rail line was close to the town’s city hall but not close enough for this unusual application so a crane was used to lift the diesel engine off its tracks and place it on Boulevard de Montarville From there the locomotive completed the last 1,000 feet of its journey rolling down the street under its own power while its extreme weight caused the train’s flanged wheels to cut deep tracks into the asphalt road which later had to be repaired Cables were run from the diesel engine to the nearby municipal buildings and its throttle was set to a speed which would produce roughly 375 kilowatts of power at 60 hertz (well below the locomotive’s maximum power of around 2,000 horsepower) which is the alternating frequency the North American power system runs on and is what all of our electronics are expecting The diesel engine produced enough electricity to power several municipal buildings at the same time allowing the local authorities to better organize their emergency and recovery planning A second locomotive was also brought in with the intention of using its output to power a local high school that was to be used as an emergency warming station for local residents But getting to the shelter would have required the engine to cross an overpass and it was eventually decided that there was a very good chance the overpass would collapse under the weight of a 260,000-pound locomotive leaving the city with yet another emergency to deal with and some concerned phone calls from the Canadian National Railway it was left parked down the street on Boulevard de Montarville as an emergency backup When power was eventually restored to the region the two diesel engines were returned to the rails and put back to work hauling cargo but not before being sent for repairs to damage caused to their gear cases after their unorthodox cruises through Boucherville As much as the city would have liked to keep the trains around for the next emergency (during their stay the locomotives also became quite a tourist draw with locals stopping by to have their pictures taken with the trains parked on the street) a diesel locomotive can cost well north of two million dollars and keeping one sitting idle “just in case” is a tough sell especially when you’re borrowing someone else’s You can check out more photos from the Boucherville train adventure here ' + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.webview_notification_text + ' " +
