the name is a nod to the French ancestral château of the Marquis de Montcalm the fallen lieutenant-general of the historic Battle of the Plains of Abraham development and local government were closely tied: mayors in the early years of the town were Candiac Development Corp As with most other suburban municipalities Candiac – traversed by three highways – grew in lockstep with the rise of the automobile and expressway infrastructure construction But while many aspects of the town may appear to place it squarely in the category of classic efforts are under way to remake Candiac along more urban an alternative to the standard “use-based” zoning regulations Form-based code emphasizes a design-based approach to development instead of relying on conventional numerical and technical guidelines The intent is to promote placemaking – public spaces that foster a sense of community – define the relationship between public and privates spaces such as the form and mass of buildings and lay out a clear vision for pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods “We’re not doing development the way it was done in the past,” Candiac Mayor Normand Dyotte says including a seniors’ residence.Ville de Candiac The city of about 21,000 is also the staging ground for a long-term test project of an electric self-driving shuttle bus on public roads The 15-passenger bus service – launched in August – will cover a one-kilometre itinerary along a busy intersection to a park-and-ride lot that is the departure point for several bus lines including an express route over the Champlain Bridge to Montreal Candiac is also showcasing a major transportation-oriented development (TOD) in the area around its commuter train station The project calls for 2,300 residential units The TOD is part of a master land-use planning and development program (PMAD) set out by the regional government body PMAD’s objective is to offset the impact of urban sprawl by combining housing densification promotion of active transportation (cycling and walking) and public and commercial spaces around dependable PMAD’s goal is to ensure that 40 per cent of new housing in the Greater Montreal region is situated in 155 TOD hubs by the year 2031 The Candiac train station TOD is one of several high-profile pilot projects that have emerged so far It’s quite a major change for us,” said Mr a retired Hydro-Québec executive and former city councillor who was first elected mayor in 2011 on the site of a now torn-down Consumers Glass factory whose detritus was in large part recycled another project – Square Candiac – is taking shape It’s a mixed residential neighbourhood of about 1,700 units Features of the $600-million project that are atypical for an auto suburb include broad sidewalks 100-per-cent underground residential parking with electric-charging-station capacity car-sharing service and four- to eight-storey buildings a rooftop urban agriculture and solar energy venture is planned for 150 townhouses in Square Candiac Half of the homes will have organic vegetable gardens whose produce from three annual harvests will be sold locally; in the other half each home will accommodate six solar panels producing green energy Half of the homes will have solar panels and the other half will have organic vegetable gardens.Ville de Candiac Plans call for a housing density in Square Candiac of 80 to 90 dwellings per hectare The minimum required by the regional government of the Greater Montreal area is 30 the density is 40 dwellings for each hectare Urban planning expert Gérard Beaudet says Candiac – as well as Terrebonne north of Montreal – are suburbs in the area that have been showing leadership in adopting sustainable development strategies But while progress is being made transforming the traditional suburban model in those suburbs and elsewhere there is still far too much dependency on the automobile efforts at the densification of residential zones remain insufficient making it difficult to justify building public transit that is attractive and reliable enough to lure residents out of their cars urban development professor at Queen’s University says there are encouraging signs across Canada of moves to “urbanize the suburbs.” the new Don Mills Centre and the transit village around Brampton’s Mount Pleasant as examples of Toronto-area suburbs building along more transit and pedestrian-friendly lines these high-profile projects divert attention from the huge expansion in automobile-dependent suburbs” throughout Canadian metropolitan areas 99 [per cent] of the population growth in the Toronto metropolitan region’s ‘905’ ring of suburban municipalities is in automobile suburbs or exurbs.” Vancouver is ahead of both Montreal and Toronto in promoting TOD projects around its suburban SkyTrain stations Richmond City Centre and Surrey City Centre are quite good but the Montreal planners hope that the area around many suburban Metro stations will become more urban says his city’s new urban-planning approach – based on sustainable smart-growth concepts – has a lot left to do The municipality’s blueprint for future growth and development is being revised and updated – “We’ve got lots of ideas in mind,” he says – and the launch of an innovation centre is planned for next March “I think we’re ahead of our neighbouring communities,” he says proudly Your house is your most valuable asset.

Breux said low pay for small-town politicians means they usually have other day jobs and "you need to make concessions." "It's clear for women in politics who are mothers it's much more difficult," she noted which received three extra councillors this election because the town's population recently exceeded 20,000 people All eight councillors as well as incumbent mayor Normand Dyotte were recently acclaimed in the 60-year-old bedroom community "We are a young city," Dyotte said in an interview "I am beginning my third mandate and I'm only the fourth mayor in 60 years "There is a type of continuity that has settled in here The population has confidence in the mayors and the council." This continuity of local governance has proven to be an asset Election turnover means a period of adapting for the newly elected and some files are cancelled while others are modified "Citizens have good services and we have good employees," Dyotte said We were ready to face the music if we had to." Dery said a second nomination period opens at the end of October for the mayor's seat "And I hope someone wants to run," she said the municipal affairs minister can step in and appoint someone."

This month we travel to the South Shore of the St-Lawrence River to the city of Candiac home to the head office of the Cascades Tissue Group “The success of our mill is based on the Cascades’ philosophy and the group of dedicated people who make this operation run smoothly,” said Fortin We also focus on Cascades and how its core value of human resources management has sustained it through what president and CEO Alain Lemaire refers to as “challenging times.” Cascades has managed to successfully channel the energy and talent of its employees to build a company with a strong foundation capable of adapting during changing times was formed in 1964 and primarily focuses on the producing transforming and marketing of packaging products Its expertise in recycling and deinking fibres is widely recognized With over 14,000 employees spread over North America QC continues to adhere to a management philosophy that has been the foundation of the company for 42 years continuing education programs and the promotion of a balanced life are cornerstones of what is referred to as the Cascades culture “The philosophy is based not only on treating people correctly but on giving them responsibility for their area of expertise I fit in perfectly with this style,” said Fortin “since it is the essence of what the Lemaires created in ’64 and it is still intact.” The culture is based on workforce respect and commitment as well as a strategy that places importance on social responsibility and preservation of resources the truth is that it is widely believed that Cascades’ philosophy with regard to its human resources management has been instrumental in building a successful world-class presence on the pulp and paper stage president and chief executive officer stated in February 2006 “We are not satisfied with this year’s (2005) financial performance showed good progression on the strategic initiatives identified in early 2004.” Despite the challenging times for the industry as a whole increasing foreign competition and the ever-climbing value of the Canadian dollar adding to its North American boxboard operations it acquired certain assets of the paperboard division of Simkins Industries in Ridgefield Cascades announced an agreement with Caraustar Industries Inc to acquire its coated recycled board mill in Sprague The mill is a state-of-the-art facility with an annual production capacity of nearly 180,000 short tons as part of the company’s ongoing rationalization process the Cascades Tissue Group closed its conversion plant in Pickering Cascades reported net earnings of $6 million for the quarter ending on March 31 Compared this to a loss of $1 million for the same period in 2005 “We expect that the seasonal pick-up in activity in most of our business segments will positively impact demand in the second quarter.” Restructuring and change are applauded at Cascades as tools for optimizing effectiveness and profitability Our focus this month is the Cascades Tissue Group Rounding out the operation are locations in the US they represent a major producer of tissue paper targeting the retail commercial and institutional and jumbo roll markets across North America the mills create products that are offered under various brand names such as Doucelle and Capri for the retail market Dcor and Perkins for the commercial and industrial markets The company’s aim has always been to develop greener products that continue to challenge the competition and to remain at the leading edge of technology its North River tissue paper received Green Seal certification meeting rigorous standards required for environmental protection Through its optimal use of recycled fibres and its use of process chlorine-free products Cascades’ North River product line was developed to illustrate that products can be very high quality as well as being well designed ecologically Candiac is home to the tissue mill which has been operated by Cascades since 1995 a mere six years after the town was officially founded with its present population of over 15,000 it proudly calls itself “Une ville vivre en toutes saisons” (a city for all seasons) Locals still boast about the 1998 Domus Prize which Candiac received when it was named the Best Municipality of the Year by the l’Association Provinciale des Constructeurs d’Habitations du Qubec (APCHQ) Mill manager Fortin refers to the city as a home with natural beauty that he enjoys tremendously “I am lucky to live two minutes away from where I work allowing me to spend quality time with my family.” The town of Candiac was established on January 31 1957 when a group of Canadian and European investors acquired approximately 2,500 acres of land the majority of which was not cultivated farmland firms began to set up in the town’s specially built industrial zone having spent the last 13 years of his career in the city What is unusual is that his background is in human resources and within the Cascades group of companies he has worked at various levels including on the dossier that lead to the acquisition of the mill in Candiac he was appointed mill manager by the president of the Cascades Tissue Group I took two to three weeks to reflect,” Fortin recalled and knew their jobs better than anybody else Since over 50% of the issues at a mill are people-related I knew the challenge of leading them as the mill manager was right for me.” Normand Ren working in both France and Quebec and has been a longtime colleague of Fortin (in his capacity as human resources manager) who the new mill manager would be his honest and straightforward style has had a great effect on our mill He embraces the spirit of team-work with sincerity and never wants to be at the forefront.” Fortin admits that he walks into his job with a smile every morning for having represented the values of respect and commitment that the company has stood for Production capacity: 65,800 metric tons annually

Keolis Canada and Montreal suburb City of Candiac have launched a long-term demonstration project of an autonomous electric shuttle on public roads in Canada The shuttle will complement the public transit services currently available in Candiac The pilot project will take place over a period of 12 months with about eight months dedicated to serving citizens This initiative was made possible through the financial support and expertise of the Quebec government and the collaboration of Propulsion Québec the Cluster for Electric and Smart Vehicles and the Technopôle IVÉO The NAVYA autonomous shuttle will operate along a two-kilometer route between the park-and-ride lot and exo’s bus terminal and the intersection of Marie-Victorin and Montcalm North boulevards with several stops along the way will allow employees in the area to reach their workplaces from the bus terminal the shuttle will go through a railway crossing and an intersection where it will communicate with four traffic lights will test how the autonomous electric shuttle adapts to Quebec winter conditions “This initiative is exciting because it’s the first pilot project in Canada and the way it’s carried out will set the course for the next one,” said Marie Hélène Cloutier multimodal service is the key to the future of transportation Autonomous electric shuttles are a great example of this because they complement existing services The enthusiasm for this project has surpassed our expectations which is very promising for the future.” “We are extremely proud to be enabling Candiac residents to participate in this historic achievement,” said Normand Dyotte “It’s an outstanding opportunity for our citizens to be able to travel aboard the first-ever electric autonomous shuttle on a public road in Canada We invite all public transit users and anyone who is curious or interested to come and try it now.” subscribe to GPS World to receive more articles just like it British multinational Johnson

materials interests in the UK chief executive of JM said: “Johnson Matthey made the decision to exit battery materials due to insufficient returns increased commoditisation of battery materials combined with the need for very high capital investments to remain competitive “This important divestment means Johnson Matthey can now focus on our core portfolio.” the firm confirmed it had sold all the outstanding shares of its Canada-based lithium-ion battery business Johnson Matthey Battery Materials (JMBM) to Nano One in a deal worth around C$10.25 million ($7.9 million) pilot to commercial scale cathode production and product qualification and quality assurance systems expertise for tier 1 automotive lithium-ion cell manufacturers It also includes its Candiac 2,400 tonne per annum capacity LFP production facility in Québec The transaction is expected to complete by the end of 2022 subject to JMBM Canada fulfilling contractual commitments and certain other customary closing conditions Condon said: “We have worked with Nano One on a number of projects over the last year and having seen their innovations we believe they have the potential to develop the Candiac site in the best way possible “We remain at the Candiac site until the end of the year and are fully committed to serving the needs of our customers.” The Candiac production facility was acquired by Johnson Matthey in 2015 and has been in operation since 2012 It is a supplier of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode material to the lithium-ion battery sector for both automotive and non-automotive
