a number of municipalities in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region have contacted Hydro-Québec in connection with frequent power outages on their respective territories the municipality's incessant requests to the Société d'État prompted the latter to rebuild the Saint-Polycarpe substation.  Les Coteaux asked Hydro-Québec to carry out an analysis of the electricity distribution infrastructures supplying Les Coteaux and to provide a detailed report the locality obtained answers from the Société d'État concerning the quality of electricity service on its territory in response to municipal resolution 24-12-8886 adopted in December 2024 Hydro-Québec reports that 2024 saw a significant reduction in outages residents of Les Coteaux experienced the fewest outages and triggers in the last five years residents experienced less than 53 minutes of outages during normal operating times according to information provided by Hydro-Québec When major weather events are taken into account this figure rises to around 3 hours,” reads the response sent to the municipal administration a year in which a number of weather-related events caused numerous power outages totaling nearly 63 hours of outages for our territory vegetation control and adaptation to climate change These efforts are aimed at preventing outages and strengthening the network's resilience to extreme weather events.”   Hydro-Québec would like to remind residents that they can report any service quality problems directly to their customer service department The Municipality of Les Coteaux is attentive to the concerns of its residents and will continue to monitor the situation to keep them informed of actions taken to guarantee the quality of electricity service on the territory incessant requests from the municipal administration prompted Hydro-Québec to rebuild the power substation serving the locality Rivière-Beaudette has been making repeated representations to Hydro-Québec.  “If the MRC is able to predict the population growth the region will face in ten years' time but since the overhaul of the Saint-Polycarpe substation we'd like to see better control of vegetation on our territory but in terms of electrical availability and network reliability since the overhaul of the Saint-Polycarpe substation things are a lot better,” says Mayor Patrick Bousez who says he's wholeheartedly behind the Municipalité des Coteaux in this matter.  a single power line has served the Alta industrial park in Coteau-du-Lac pending the opening of a new substation at its heart whose primary mission will be to supply power to the park.  “I'm confident that when it comes on stream in a few years' time it will take the load off the Saint-Polycarpe substation which has already reached its maximum capacity It won't be a problem once it's up and running,” he adds.  The City of Coteau-du-Lac is confident  Coteau-du-Lac confirms that it will not be taking any steps to request an analysis of the electrical network supplying the town of Coteau-du-Lac the municipal administration did ask Hydro to maintain the vegetation that comes significantly close to the lines in certain places but there has been no specific request on this subject “We are aware that the construction of the new substation in our industrial park will considerably strengthen the Town's power supply,” we wrote by e-mail.  Ville de Saint-Zotique states that it is a forerunner in this field commissioned a private firm to produce a survey of the canopy in conflict with the hydroelectric network This report was submitted to

it was she who initiated the contact following discussions with the management of another Museum “I spoke with the Musée de Charlevoix since they specialize in folk art This is exactly the type of artistic approach that I do An evaluator from the Museum came to see the works I replied that all the works that were on the walls were available He then asked me to make a file of the portfolio that was accessible.” The donation made by the artist represents several thousand dollars “All artists want to exhibit their works I told myself that it gave me free space to create other works Gauvreau

extent of the situation the issue of water quality and accessibility is of great concern to Quebecers Executive Director of the Fondation Rivières wastewater spills are everywhere and every day People need to know where the 60,000 or so untreated wastewater spills are located each year and what happens in each municipality The map illustrates the symptom of a worrisome disease and above all it

this international competition which brought together the best BMX athletes in the world "It's not as popular with Canadians as field hockey or other sports we're known for like cycling," he adds on the other end of the phone Accustomed to training and racing most of the time on the Coteau-du-Lac BMX track Justin readily admits that the Glasgow track is the best he's ridden so far My legs were really tired at the end of the races as there were a lot of competitors taking part we had a break of about 45 minutes between each race So we could rest and recuperate before getting out on the course again." Justin was able to make one or two runs in the days leading up to the competition to familiarize himself with the course Did the time difference make itself felt during the competition We stayed in the region for a few days afterwards to do some sightseeing That's when the fatigue and the impact of jet lag were felt." Despite the many hours of flying and the time difference Justin takes a positive view of his experience both about the region over there and during the competition The urban area over there is a lot like here The food is good there and the favorite dish is fish and chips but we saw it go by (laughs)," he confides "It was a great experience and it's motivating me to return to the World Championships It's a lot closer if I take part," he concludes Although Justin will be entering Secondary 1 on Thursday he'll be taking part in a regional competition on the Coteau-du-Lac track he'll be racing for the last time this season at the same venue Click here to see Canada's most comprehensive listing of projects in conceptual and planning stages Alta Industrial and Broccolini are teaming up to develop the Alta Industrial Park in Coteau-du-Lac which can now offer over 17 million square feet to companies seeking to set up their operations in the greater Montreal area Both parties are pleased with the partnership and say it is a good fit for the new phase of development “We can bring our expertise of the ‘one stop shop’ of construction development property management networking and help them develop the property more rapidly and thus everyone can come out a winner,” explained Roger Plamondon president of real estate development and acquisitions at Broccolini The company has been involved in the construction of distribution centres for Canadian Tire in Quebec and Ontario We have built a lot of distribution centres so we are very confident that we will be able to entice people to come and implement their distribution centres on that site,” said Plamondon We acted as the general contractor for Canadian Tire’s distribution centre here in Quebec and they located in Coteau-du-Lac on the Alta property we started talking a little more with each other and came to the conclusion that this might be a very good marriage.” From 1989 to 2008 Alta developed the first phase Canadian Tire bought 7.3 million square feet for its distribution centre Alta asked permission to dezone 17.5 million square feet after giving away 4.5 million square feet for conservation and compensation of wetlands adding it took nine years of court battles to get the land dezoned and another year to get the proper documents to start development Six million square feet of building space will be offered in the 17.5 million square feet of land Alta still owns another 4.5 million square feet of land for future development adjacent to the site “It’s not easy to get land rezoned anywhere,” said Latreille “The land that we have now is ready to welcome industries We are looking at a lot of logistics people or people who require distribution centres.” Latreille said the partnership with Broccolini will enable the company to ramp up the development of the park quickly which is something that appeals to many companies “Broccolini is a major player and we wanted to have a good strong company to partner with to get it to a new stage,” said Latreille also boasts a number of benefits including that it is well situated in terms of access to markets in Quebec It is located in proximity to major highways in the area and Quebec’s main economic corridor It also has a direct link to the main track of the Canadian National Railway Infrastructure is already in place as well there is a massive raw water supply to the site that is pumping directly out of the St which is very rare in an industrial park.” the developers are working with interested companies looking to set up shop in the area “We hope in spring or summer 2019 we will announce the start of development there,” said Latreille TORONTO — A new condo development along the Yonge and Finch corridor was recentl..
