Carried out by the architecture studio ACDF Architecture it focuses on urban development centred on the creation of spaces for learning through reading discovery and self-realisation in a peaceful environment which is conceived as the heart of the art and culture section of the river corridor where it is located offers a very complete programme spread over three floors where it houses an exhibition area a terrace and well-defined areas for children In keeping with the desire to create an emblematic building for the city, with modest means, ACDF Architecture is committed with this project to design an architecture of a certain formal and tectonic sobriety that focuses on simple volumetric articulations rather than considering an approach focused on the creation of grandiose gestures or extravagant expressions resulting in a coherent whole that combines pragmatism and creativity and that responsibly addresses current environmental challenges The combination of the existing building and the extension results in a variety of spaces and a variety of environments for all tastes and uses that advocates an approach that focuses on the optimal combination of resources to create meaningful architecture and to generate places that structure and contribute to their communities through a responsible and frugal approach that values ​​​​the built heritage Expansion of the T-A-St-Germain Library by ACDF Architecture Project description by ACDF Architecture ACDF Architecture is proud to present the newly inaugurated T-A-St-Germain Library the new library encourages spontaneous encounters and self-fulfillment in a warm and tranquil environment Going beyond the traditional model of a library focused on learning through reading this almost 5,000 square meters cultural hub offers a varied program spread over 3 floors Key functions include 2 multi-purpose rooms The first stone of a new waterfront corridorIn line with the City of Saint-Hyacinthe's structuring vision to stem the exodus of merchants and residents from the historic downtown area to new urban development hubs along major roads and highways the City of Saint-Hyacinthe has acquired a strategic site in the downtown core Bordering the Yamaska River and the Barsalou Bridge the site is an important point of access to downtown for communities living on the west bank of the river “The project serves as the starting point for a major urban development project dedicated to the enhancement of the Yamaska River The decision was therefore made to position the new library at the heart of the arts and culture section of the new 1.5-mile pedestrian and bicycle river corridor.” Preserving a healthy buildingACDF was first commissioned to carry out an avant-garde functional program and various studies to determine whether the existing office building would have to be demolished or completely transformed to create a unifying and emblematic new cultural project Drawing on its experience in transforming existing buildings architects must make every effort to keep buildings healthy ACDF was able to demonstrate the viability of retaining the existing building That decision was reached despite significant a universal accessibility issue related to site topography and floor positioning and a large footprint on the site that left only minimal space for outdoor functions and parking areas and the planted forecourts were mature and of fine quality which nullified the justification for demolition We wanted to embrace the challenge of designing an emblematic project capable of acting as a cultural beacon at the northern end of downtown Saint-Hyacinthe while preserving as much of the existing building's components as possible thus reducing the carbon impact associated with the realization of such an infrastructure." balanced approachIn keeping with the desire to create an emblematic building for the city the architects committed themselves to designing an architecture imbued with a certain formal and tectonic sobriety focusing on simple volumetric articulations rather than considering an architectural approach focused on creating grandiose gestures or flamboyant architectural expressions the recommended approach adopts a sustainable vision of architecture by rehabilitating a modest 1987 postmodern building located in the heart of Saint-Hyacinthe's historic district Rather than demolishing the existing building or proposing a complete replacement of its envelope ACDF proposed a dual mindset approach combining pragmatism and creativity Clad in a whitish glass skin that acts as a beacon in the evening landscape the extension stands out subtly from the existing building Its volumetric sobriety and glass envelope with modules similar to those of the existing building The result is a well-balanced integration that bears witness to the architectural frugality initially sought and which responsibly addresses the environmental challenges that the world currently faces Magnifying and illuminating the existing buildingACDF proposed the retention of the existing building and the addition of an extension to complement it The architects were then able to magnify the architectural qualities of the existing building while adapting them to the new standards of such cultural venues To counteract the unusual low clearance heights and strip fenestration for a library the extension offers light-filled spaces with extraordinary views towards the Yamaska River and distinctive environments compared to those contained in the existing building “The low percentage of fenestration in the existing building allows us to maintain a very interesting ratio of total openings from a thermal point of view despite the generous fenestration of the spaces in the extension The variety of ambiences provided by this bipartite composition contributes greatly to the user experience.” inviting volumetryThe expansion concept takes the form of a volumetric structure divided into two fragments which slide over each other to create a majestic hallway linking the new pedestrian entrance to the cultural center and the vehicular entrance near the river This multi-purpose hall serves as a reception area encouraging fluid interaction between users catches the eye of passers-by and draws them inward The coffered wooden ceiling provides the whole with a warm The ground-floor volume houses three multi-purpose rooms Like cultural showcases visible from Bourdages Avenue the multifunctional rooms will also help to enliven the future Gérard Côté urban promenade The design concept allows media spaces to be used outside of library opening hours and the café occupying the lobby can be used as a service area for vernissages or special events The volumetric translation allows for the creation of an outdoor terrace on level 2 offering spectacular views and a space to relax and enjoy the Yamaska River while the upper volume houses areas dedicated to adult collections A variety of interior spaces and atmospheresThe combination of the existing building and the extension results in a variety of spaces and a variety of atmospheres to suit all tastes the layout revolves around a core of services and shelving The relaxation areas are logically positioned at the periphery with more focused views over the landscape and more subdued lighting The low ceiling height of the existing building (8'-2'') and the low beams at the edges of the building effectively delimit the reading and working areas the enlarged space is generously bathed in light with lower shelving to enable greater enjoyment of the landscape This duality between the old and the new accentuates the contrast of perspectives for users: the vastness of the river and the framing of the city-culture interface These various solutions optimize the use of space providing flexibility and natural spatial fluidity the dialogue between the existing structure and the extension is reflected in a threshold treated as a black absence thanks to its monochromatic black appearance this gap groups together the main vertical circulations Saint-Germain library rises as a beacon on the landscape establishing a structuring presence in Saint-Hyacinthe's historic downtown area It has emerged as a must-see destination for all Saint-Hyacinthe residents and contributes to efforts to requalify the old downtown area This project is a prime example of the architectural approach advocated by ACDF which consists of striking the perfect balance between efficiency and aesthetics to design projects of the highest architectural quality while knowing how to define what is possible and what is necessary “We advocate a design approach that focuses on a more optimal mix of resources to create meaningful architecture and to create places that structure and contribute to their communities We hope that the responsible and frugal approach employed in this expansion and transformation project can serve to raise awareness of the merits of conserving our built heritage and exercising restraint in the means we employ to design exceptional places.” ACDF Architecture

realm reality (@xtatyx) on Dec 5 With post-COVID-19 regional shows done and more to come this fall Holstein Canada is guardedly confident it can pull off a hybrid version of its national shows Nov Martintown-area dairy farmer Nancy Beerwort Eastern Ontario director to the Holstein Canada board told Farmtario there was swift reaction from the nation’s dairy show community following the COVID-related cancellation of the 2021 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Why it matters: The 2020 Royal was also cancelled due to the pandemic so this is the first opportunity for breeders to gather on a national scale since November 2019 and other green initiatives are now significant contributors to the consolidation of farmland and displacement of farmers around the globe according to a report from agriculture and environmental think-tank International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES) is the traditional home of the dairy sector’s national shows in Canada “It was evident from the reaction of breeders that there was a desire for a national show,” said Beerwort As chair of Holstein Canada’s show and judging committee she spoke on behalf of the 2021 national show organizers “The wheels were immediately put in motion for this to happen.” Holstein Canada president Elyse Gendron pledged to host the shows on a “cost-recovery” basis and that the event will be “safe for all participants,” she said in an Aug 17-20 activities will be scaled down.  “Saint-Hyacinthe was chosen because the facility has the required space for the number of animals that usually show in our Red-and-White and Black-and-White National Holstein Shows,” Beerwort said.  there isn’t enough space under pandemic restrictions to also host other breeds The event will be subject to Quebec’s pandemic-related protocols at that time The province now “has a mandatory vaccination passport or proof of double vaccination for entrance into most venues,” Beerwort noted “the reaction was extremely positive” to Holstein Canada’s announcement that the shows will go on some regional shows were held and more are expected this fall with competitors eyeing a spot on the Saint-Hyacinthe stage “There was excitement with the plan to bring the ‘best of the best’ together at a national show,” said Beerwort including the Ontario Spring Discovery in April in Ancaster like the 2021 Ontario Summer Show in Lindsay went ahead under pandemic-related restrictions Holstein Canada “has been closely monitoring the pandemic situation as well as public health guidelines,” said the Aug “We are confident that we will be able to give breeders an event in compliance with all requirements.” Beerwort said schedule details aren’t yet solidified but the organizing committee is committed to making it a memorable

shelter The Quebec government has granted  Université de Montréal $101 million for a veterinary simulation centre a clinical skills centre and an animal shelter at its Saint-Hyacinthe campus students will be able to practice veterinary techniques on models simulators and using virtual reality before performing them on live animals bandaging a horse’s leg isn’t a difficult procedure but you still have to learn the right technique and get feedback to correct your mistakes,” explained Christine Theoret “If you’re doing it for the first time on a horse that’s moving because he’s nervous that’s not ideal for either the student or the animal It’s better to learn the technique safely in a simulation first to gain confidence and then learn to do it on a live animal this is a big step forward for her  faculty The university was able to acquire specialized equipment to outfit the simulation centre thanks to a $1-million donation last year from the Molson Foundation “Now we just have to install this equipment in one functional The approximately 800-square-metre simulation centre will also be able to meet the needs of other programs including CEGEP and continuing-education courses A new animal housing / clinical skills centre will also be set up in a new building to be constructed on the Saint-Hyacinthe campus The 6,500+ square-metre facility  will bring together under one roof the teaching labs and animal housing facilities including those used by the Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe for its animal health technology program currently located at the UdeM-affiliated CHUV veterinary hospital “Lugging animals around from class to class to teach students basic skills is not the most efficient way to do it nor the most ethical since it’s stressful for the dogs and cats,” said Theoret The new multi-purpose space will also make it possible to modernize teaching methods and meet the physical requirements of the veterinary education program’s accreditation body The space to be freed up at the CHUV is also in demand for other uses “We need the space because our student population will increase by 26 per cent counting the students accepted into our  satellite program at Rimouski,” said Theoret starting in 2027 – they will be coming to the Saint-Hyacinthe campus and the CHUV We therefore need more space for the clinical training of our future veterinarians.” The veterinary medicine faculty’s’ animal shelter will also move into a new location adjacent to the animal housing / clinical skills centre “The current shelter is located in a very cramped space; we want to expand and modernize it,” said Theoret In addition to housing animals awaiting adoption the shelter provides veterinary students with clinical experience  “It’s a great place for internships because students can perform a variety of procedures The shelter is also a place for veterinary student volunteers to acquire more experience as they progress through each year of their program “It’s a chance for them to gradually master a variety of techniques,” said Theoret how to prepare a treatment plan and administer it.” Given the large number of animals at the shelter students also learn basics of sanitation to avoid the transmission of diseases “It’s a place that offers a very rich learning opportunity very early in the student’s training journey,” said Theoret the shelter currently has to turn animals away and limit the number of students who pass through its doors “Our Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is the only one in Quebec and is recognized by an American accreditation body which ensures that our students receive training of a very high standard,” said Theoret “We have to make sure we meet that standard and that we are always improving The new ahelter will be a fine example of that.” By enhancing its facilities to improve the training it provides to Quebec’s future veterinarians and train more vets the faculty is helping address Quebec’s vet shortage “The shortage became more obvious to the general public during the pandemic because of their pets’ needs but it has existed for some time and we have implemented various strategies to address it,” she said The idea of offering a satellite program in Rimouski arose because the shortage is particularly acute in that region and in the bio-food sector – that isfor farm animals “We are hoping that if we train students in the region they will decide to stay and establish their practice there,” said Theoret According to study by Quebec’s Ministry of Agriculture one-third of farm-animal veterinarians will retire by 2027 UdeM has therefore set aside 15 spots per year in its veterinary medicine program for students who plan to set up a farm-animal practice a native of Saint-Malachie in the Bellechasse regional county municipality is currently in the program and set to graduate in 2024-2025 “I’ve always wanted to work with large animals,” he said “I have a family background in beef farming My uncle took over my grandfather’s farm and I started working with the animals on the farm at a young age I always enjoyed helping to care for the animals making sure everything was working well on the farm.” becoming a large-animal veterinarian is a dream that is coming true you’re doing many different things,” he said Where does he plan to practice after graduation “I definitely have

natural gas produced at the Saint-Hyacinthe biomethanation plant 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - The City of Saint-Hyacinthe confirmed today that its biomethanation plant has entered full service along with the injection of the renewable natural gas (RNG) produced there into Énergir's network This step marks the culmination of an investment project totalling $80 million $42.2 million of which comes from the Government of Québec and $11.4 million from the Government of Canada The City of Saint-Hyacinthe rounded out the financing with a contribution of nearly $27 million The announcement was made in the presence of Québec's Minister of Sustainable Development Isabelle Melançon; the Mayor of the City of Saint-Hyacinthe Claude Corbeil; the President and Chief Executive Officer of Énergir Sophie Brochu; the Vice-President and Plant Director of L'Oréal Canada Jean-Victor Pycke; and numerous other representatives of surrounding towns whose organic materials are being recycled at the organic waste reclamation centre of the City of Saint-Hyacinthe This is the first municipal biomethanation project in Québec and the renewable natural gas from it will be injected into the Énergir network L'Oréal Canada—whose production and distribution centres in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montréal are carbon-neutral—is becoming Énergir's first customer to purchase RNG produced in Saint-Hyacinthe The Saint-Hyacinthe biomethanation plant will produce 13 million m3 of RNG per year The biomethanation complex's full entry into service will make it possible to recycle nearly 200,000 tonnes of organic waste from 25 towns and agrifood businesses in the region which will lead to an annual emissions reduction of 49,000 tonnes of GHGs L'Oréal Canada will each year avoid emitting more than 2,100 tonnes of GHGs into the atmosphere The announcement resulted from a 2014 framework agreement in which the City of Saint-Hyacinthe committed to inject surplus RNG produced at the biomethanation plant beyond that consumed by the City into Énergir's network for a minimum period of 20 years The City uses the RNG for heating its municipal buildings and to fuel its fleet of vehicles that run on natural gas Énergir did its part by building the infrastructure needed to inject the RNG into its distribution network Canada is the first country in the Americas where L'Oréal's production and distribution centres are carbon-neutral — "How proud we are to see this wonderful project completed here in Québec We should all laud the commitment of Énergir and L'Oréal two world-class businesses that are helping to build this new lower-carbon economy we have a concrete example of the circular economy showing that it's possible to combine economic and social development with environmental protection Recycling our organic waste represents one more step toward a zero-waste society the kind of society we want to hand down to our children."                                                                        – Isabelle Melançon — "Saint-Hyacinthe is proud to be one of the first cities in North America to recycle its organic materials through biomethanation This is a good example of the circular economy as citizens and local agrifood companies send their organic materials to the biomethanation facility which turns them into renewable natural gas (RNG) The gas is then used by the City to fuel its fleet of municipal vehicles and to heat its buildings Surplus RNG is sold to Énergir as an offset that will help improve the
