armed suspects broke into a residence on rue Du Chêne in the Vallée-Chaline district of Saint-Lazare Two people were on the premises and suffered injuries that do not suggest any threat to their lives.  “The suspects wanted to obtain the contents of a safe on the premises leaving the occupants of the residence with injuries A suspect vehicle was located further away and forensic tests were carried out on it during the night and the investigation has been turned over to the Sûreté du Québec's Major Crimes Division,” confirms police spokesman Jean-Raphaël Drolet.  According to a citizen who witnessed the scene and contacted Néomédia the Vallée-Chaline area is particularly prone to this type of crime there have been a lot of cars driving around so it's definitely easy for thieves to sneak onto lots and enter houses We really need more police surveillance in the neighborhood,” he confided on condition of anonymity.  - Yan Lecompte's fate will soon be decided - CMP search in L'Île-Perrot  - Vaudreuil-Dorion firefighters help each other out tonight  Pour partager votre opinion vous devez être connecté la MRC de Beauharnois-Salaberry annonce sa participation à l’initiative ministérielle Proximité des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation de Québec (MAPAQ) permettant ainsi à onze entreprises du territoire de bénéficier de formations ainsi que d'un accompagnement ..

MontrealNewsQuarry fire in St-Lazare still burning five days laterBy Denise RobertsPublished: December 13, 2024 at 5:17PM EST Twitter feed ©2025 BellMedia All Rights Reserved A 21-year-old St-Lazare man is facing sentencing after pleading guilty to impaired driving causing death in a tragic accident that deeply affected the Pointe-Claire community a vehicle ran off the Sources overpass while the driver was driving at high speed This resulted in the body of a teen being ejected from the vehicle onto the ground on Donegani Avenue The tragic crash claimed the life of 16-year-old Noah-Lewis Mercier who succumbed to his injuries three days after the tragic event while hospitalized In a shocking and heartfelt appeal to the court who was not only the person behind the wheel but also her son’s best friend Parent called for compassion and understanding within the courtroom we need more thinking of others,” she stated reflecting her son’s caring nature on the night of his death Her plea underscored a desire not just for justice but for healing and community learning from this devastating event which added to the heavy emotional weight of her plea as Parent had also lost another son in similar circumstances Parent made it clear that she did not solely blame Ségaux for the tragedy highlighting the unfortunate decisions made by both young men on the evening of the crash that caused her son’s death Her call for leniency was a testament to her belief in rehabilitation and the power of forgiveness hoping that this tragedy could serve as a lesson for others.  Prosecutor Sylvie Dulude has argued for a prison sentence emphasizing the need for such a measure to act as a deterrent to impaired driving on a larger scale while defense lawyer Robert Israel advocated for a community-based sentence highlighting Ségaux’s lifelong guilt and the significant challenges he faces in rebuilding his life following the accident Israel stressed the impact of the tragedy on Ségaux

over the country will hear what a powerful voice Moore possesses as she has secured a spot on the fourth season of Canada’s Got Talent — one of two Manitobans participating in the national talent competition with the first episode airing on Tuesday and continues to stay very busy with her musical pursuits Not only is Moore the lead female vocal for the southwestern Manitoba band Just For Kicks she’s also an alto with the Brandon-based Konektis choir plus a music teacher and librarian by day.  Appearing on Canada’s Got Talent is a very big deal as the winner of the competition goes home with a $1 million prize A total of 105 Canadian acts will appear on stage before judges Howie Mandel and variety performers from across Canada and beyond will be featured 20-year-old Rebecca Strong from Prince Albert claimed the top spot with her performance of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep That’s the only way I can describe it is amazing And unreal,” Strong told the World-Spectator last May of the journey through the competition “This is the end of my Canada’s Got Talent The million-dollar grand prize (plus $50 from Mandel) is the largest cash prize in Canadian television history There are also the six Golden Buzzer selections — acts that essentially receive a fast-track to the live shows Each judge and the host can press the golden buzzer once per season plus there’s a group selection as well Those Golden Buzzer acts also receive $25,000 each from CIBC The Canada’s Got Talent season ends with a live two-hour finale on Tuesday May 13 from the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls.  The World-Spectator spoke with Moore to learn more about her reaction to making it to Canada’s Got Talent You’ve made it to Canada’s Got Talent this year—congratulations I understand you’ve applied previously to this year Could you tell me about that journey to make it to this season I’ve been trying since it was rebooted I kept sending in my videos every year and I never heard anything back Then I got an email in December of 2023 and they said ‘would you consider participating in Season 4?’ and I said I’d love to!’ It was a long process They wanted to hear this song and that song Do you get to choose which genre you’d like to perform or is it the judges that determine the music this is what I typically do,’ and they’ll try to work with that because it really challenged me to get out of my box in the past year or so—just to try new things to work on my range and work on my genres of music Last year’s winner from Canada’s Got Talent was Rebecca Strong a real powerful Indigenous voice from Prince Albert How important is it to see people from outside the major cities represented on a show like this I think it’s so important because growing up—especially coming from St Having such a big dream and wanting to get my voice out there I thought it was impossible because you don’t hear a lot of stories of people that are coming from such small places making it big and getting their voice out there So I think it’s really important for people that are still just starting out or just wanting to make something of themselves I had a lot of people that I looked up to—Shania Twain being one of them I don’t believe I’ll be on March 18 They’re supposed to tell me two weeks prior to my episode airing So I’m just waiting to see and hear from them but I’m anxious to see all the other performers as well Music has been a huge part of your life and you are a music teacher currently Could you tell me about that lifelong love of music and how that’s been with you along the path my dad would sing around the house quite often I had a lot of opportunities singing in church or different talent stages and all of those things collectively got me to where I am Each and every time I’m working with new people in the music world that has also helped me get to where I am and to find even more love for music it’s been since I was tiny that I’ve been learning and loving music not only to get my name out there a little bit more This is something that I really do want to chase.’ It definitely was a huge moment for me Two songs you performed during that Star Search really stood out—Crazy by Patsy Cline and Sarah McLachlan’s Arms of an Angel Is that the style you gravitate towards more and they have really opened up my eyes to a lot of different genres That’s what I’m doing with this band as well We do anything from Fleetwood Mac to Miley Cyrus I try to make it so everyone hears something that they like I don’t know what my favorite would be though I still kind of lean towards country more than anything singing with a band compared to just doing a gig on your own with your guitar It really trained my ear and allowed me to trust that I would be carried with them; if I lost my spot They’re so tight that it really makes me feel like I can actually focus on singing and not have to worry at all What’s the reaction been from your bandmates They’re all like second dads—all very supportive and really fun!  but it’s also helped me train my ear even more It’s great to have all the people around you singing but you have to know your part to be able to work with your section and it’s really helped me a lot with my ear Is everything effectively on hold right now I’m still doing my gigs here and there But at one point when we were filming the auditions it was a lot of back and forth with sending in videos and stuff like that go,’ but it’s all stuff that I love to do so it doesn’t feel like work so that keeps me pretty busy throughout the day Then I sing at a church in Brandon with their worship team and lots of different shows on my own and with the band I pretty much have events going on most nights but it’s all stuff that I love again It’s lots of rehearsals lots of times but I find I’m learning a lot throughout the entire process and every rehearsal Canada’s Got Talent is such a huge promotional launchpad for performers do you think that’s going to change anything Is that going to give you more notoriety in the broader spectrum in the years of sending my auditions in my applications I just wanted to be able to have a chance to go out there and I knew that if I was accepted to go on the show that it would help me a lot regardless of the outcome There’s lots of people that are reaching out to me and congratulating me a lot of people are interested in actually hearing me It’s just really a privilege to be able to have this opportunity regardless of what happens I was telling everyone I would like to go to Nashville and learn from people and be able to record some music I think there’s so many things that you would do with it Do you think this might lead to a Walk of Fame in St and everything else—I’d just love to be able to make them proud and to say a big thank you to everyone That’s always going to be my home!  The Sûreté du Québec is asking for the public's help in locating potential witnesses or anyone with information about a hit-and-run accident causing injuries that occurred in St-Lazare on January 7 emergency services were called to a scene on Côte Saint-Charles near the intersection of rue du Cumberland in St-Lazare involving a pedestrian in his twenties who had allegedly been struck by a vehicle The victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries the vehicle involved is believed to be a Jeep Wrangler Sahara black The vehicle may have sustained damage to the right fender and rearview mirror (photo for information only).  Saint-Lazare mayor Geneviève Lachance reacted to the situation on her Geneviève Lachance Mairesse page It is truly incomprehensible that such a thing could happen How can someone commit such an act and leave another person suffering This lack of compassion and responsibility is truly shocking and unacceptable While I have no official details on the situation I would like to extend my sincerest thoughts to the victim I encourage you all to come together at this troubling time If you have any information about this incident I invite you to contact the Sûreté du Québec to assist in their investigation.  Any information relating to this event can be communicated confidentially to the Sûreté du Québec's Centrale de l'information criminelle at 1 800 659-4264.  -  Hit-and-run at Saint-Lazare: witnesses sought  Despite loud opposition from some residents Lazare council last week moved to municipalize one of its last two remaining private streets removing the last barrier preventing the building of more residential dwellings along the artery council approved two bylaws affecting the private stretch of Sandmere Street on Aug including reducing the minimum width of lots permitted from 50 to 37 metres and dropping the minimum front setback from 12 to 10 metres These changes will allow an estimated 42 to 44 single-family homes to be built on Sandmere in the Saddlebrook area of the town The group of 24 property owners along the private artery are breathing a sigh of relief as the change was finally approved bringing them a significant step closer to selling their lots after years of waiting The western portion of Sandmere – one of the last private roads in town – is home to four houses and dozens of lots Owners of the lots have spent years pushing for the municipalization of the street as its private status has made it impossible to build on their properties and difficult to sell off These owners have nevertheless been paying taxes on these plots of land No more than 20 per cent of the existing trees can be removed if a house is to be built on the lots Lazare Mayor Geneviève Lachance,“to reduce the impact of residential development on the forest ecosystem” within the area Lachance also pointed out that this number of new houses would be consistent with the current density in the area – 2.7 dwellings per hectare She also highlighted the fact that the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) is in the process of drafting its 2025 Plan métropolitain d’aménagement et de développement (PMAD) which will likely call on the municipalities like St Lazare to densify to around 40 dwellings per hectare If the proposed CMM plan is eventually approved before the area along Sandmere St the new housing density ratios could see as many as 880 units built instead of a maximum of 44 “I think it’s clear that all of us don’t want that high density in that sector,” Lachance said “We would rather be in control of the development now while we can Allowing these changes would help solidify the low-density aspect of the project before the PMAD is implemented in our bylaws.” “That was very much a relief on my part and everybody else’s too,” Dodds said Dodds and her husband had purchased the property when they were in their 20s and were among those who helped build the road that became Sandmere Street She recalls when the municipality “arbitrarily” declared that Sandmere would become a private street in the 1980s Dodds explained her frustration over the years in trying to get the street municipalized She noted that she and the other lot owners – many of whom are also seniors – would like to finally get these properties off their hands and use the revenues to help their families “I’ve got two daughters and four grandchildren,” said Dodds Several residents have repeatedly expressed their opposition to a development project that would see a portion of the surrounding woodland destroyed to make way for housing Objectors to the project had turned out en masse to a public consultation meeting July 30 Several expressed their concerns again during question period Aug David Hill was the only member on the council to vote against both zoning change which was approved by a majority of council Hill explained that he believes his vote was an “accurate reflection” of the will of the constituents in his district Though he wrote that agrees with certain articles of the bylaws including efforts to reduce tree cutting and protect forest cover he stated that the deforestation of the lots for development would be unwise under the circumstances of climate change “At a time when the effects of the climate crisis are being felt so intensely by so many of us the deforestation of this pristine forested area does not seem prudent,” Hill wrote The next step is for town officials to meet with developers to discuss a way forward Lazare’s director of urbanism services and the environment no timeline for development has yet been put in place seriously injuring a young man in his twenties The collision took place on a bike path at the intersection of Côte Saint-Charles and rue Cumberland where the pedestrian was struck by a vehicle the driver fled the scene after stopping briefly to inspect the damage to his vehicle The victim was taken to hospital with significant injuries The family is now trying to understand what happened Sûreté du Québec spokeswoman Ève Brochu-Joubert confirms that no arrests have yet been made “The investigation is ongoing and we invite anyone with information or who witnessed the event to contact us at 310-4141,” she said Authorities are appealing to the public to help identify the driver and provide any information that may help clarify the circumstances of the collision.  MontrealNewSt-Lazare man wants permission to keep 2 donkeys, llama on his propertyBy Christine LongPublished: June 20, 2024 at 6:05PM EDT A single-family home at 2751 rue du Salerne was engulfed in flames around noon on Wednesday in Saint-Lazare Several firefighters from neighbouring municipalities were involved that crews from the Hudson and Vaudreuil-Dorion fire departments were called in to assist the local brigade The air bank of the Pincourt/Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot fire department was also called in.  The Community Emergency Measures Unit (UCMU) was also dispatched to support the firefighters on site.  Saint-Lazare’s elected officials adopted a $46.2 million budget and a 1.8% property tax increase on December 10 Saint-Lazare plans to allocate $16.6 million Nearly 20% of the budget will be directed to various contributions the administration projects $33 million will come from property taxes the city expects to collect $3.6 million through transfer duties “I’d like to first thank all the departments for their tremendous work along with significantly more responsibilities which relies primarily on residential taxes to sustain operations and provide services to its citizens this situation will soon become unsustainable,” said Mayor Geneviève Lachance emphasizing that this issue is not unique to Saint-Lazare but is faced by municipalities across Quebec Saint-Lazare will implement a new three-year property assessment roll starting in January 2025 This increase has significantly impacted the budget's formulation The average value of a single-family home has risen from $467,600 to $702,694 while the city’s standardized property wealth has climbed from $3.8 billion to $5.7 billion there’s a 50% increase for an average home Similar trends have been observed across Quebec in municipalities with updated rolls municipalities adjust their tax rates to account for this increase the rate may vary depending on how a property’s assessment compares to the average home,” added Mayor Lachance Homeowners can therefore expect a 1.8% increase in property taxes equivalent to $66.01 for an average residence the council adopted its three-year capital expenditure plan for 2025 The mayor clarified that this is primarily a planning tool and that the projects listed are not “set in stone.” an estimated $50.6 million will be allocated to various projects Details of the 2025 budget will be

the call for entries for the March exhibition: A total of 25 artists and 49 works (2 works per artist) will grace the library Here are the types of art and techniques used in the works on display:

its three automated service centers in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges area as well as the closure of the Saint-Lazare Service Center These closures will take effect on November 24 This decision is driven by changing habits among Desjardins members and the need to align service offerings with current demands the first automated service center closure “After reviewing figures showing a drastic decline in transactions at our Automated Service Centers the Desjardins Vaudreuil-Soulanges Board decided to close the centers in Les Cèdres and Les Coteaux,” confirmed Richard Dubois Director of Communications and Community Life at Desjardins Vaudreuil-Soulanges In communications sent to the affected municipalities Desjardins explained that members' transaction habits have evolved significantly in recent years To “remain competitive and continue meeting the constantly changing needs of members the Caisse must adapt its service offerings accordingly.” “We recognize that this decision will require some members of our community to adjust their habits That’s why we aim to offer workshops on using our digital platform through regional organizations Our members ask us to stay at the forefront of technology but we are committed to supporting all members Financial education is not only for a segment of the population,” added Mr Closure of the Saint-Lazare Service Center and Transformation of Harwood Desjardins members accustomed to using the Saint-Lazare Service Center will now need to go to centers in Vaudreuil-Dorion we had to accept that traffic at the Saint-Lazare Service Center was insufficient to justify continuing its operations,” continued Mr the Harwood Service Center in Vaudreuil-Dorion will be converted into an advisory service center retaining ATMs but discontinuing cashier services “Harwood was one of the centers most impacted by the pandemic we encouraged members to visit our other locations people are more reluctant to go there,” explained the Director of

services available to the people of Saint-Lazare In collaboration with Ville de Saint-Lazare Hydro-Québec has drawn up a rigorous action plan to reduce the number and duration of power outages This includes not only targeted vegetation control near the distribution and transmission network but also repairs to priority equipment and modifications to the power system configuration Hydro-Québec received a number of complaints about the frequency and duration of power outages mainly caused by unfavorable weather conditions affecting vegetation near the power grid Hydro-Québec will be clearing incompatible trees near the power grid on a more selective basis this year Pruning will also be carried out in certain areas To carry out tree-felling and brush-clearing work it is essential that the owners of the trees to be felled give their authorization to Hydro-Québec crews No tree may be felled without the owner's authorization Encouraging the planting of compatible species further outages could occur due to weather-related events The probability of outages increases when mature trees overhang distribution lines as is the case at Saint-Lazare.To prevent such outages we encourage you to plant species that are compatible with the network and conducive to maintaining biodiversity A complete list of compatible trees is available at trees.hydroquebec.com Water meters will begin to be required in all non-residential buildings in St according to a new bylaw set to be approved by council next month The move is the result of the municipality failing to meet water-usage targets set by the provincial government “It is being imposed on us to reduce consumption,” said St Lazare Mayor Geneviève Lachance in an interview with The 1019 Report all homes will have to be equipped with the devices to track their water use only 60 homes will be fitted with meters to provide municipal officials with a sampling of the level of individual household use in the residential sector The selection of these homes will be on a voluntary basis all new homes built after the bylaw is approved will have to be constructed “in anticipation of the installation of a meter,” the proposed bylaw states “The government requires this because we did not meet the objectives,” Lachance said referring to the Rapport annuel sur la gestion de l’eau potable which the provincial government issues outlining the levels of water usage within the town the provincial report that looked at water consumption recorded in 2021 included a clear warning: “If the municipality exceeds one of the objectives in the 2021 balance sheet the installation of water meters in all non-residential buildings (industries municipal buildings and on a sample of 60 residential buildings will be required progressively by Sept like restricting the washing of driveways and banning car-wash fundraisers and public awareness campaigns to encourage a reduction in usage have helped reduce the amount of water being consumed on a per-capita basis in the last few years water use in the town remains above the provincial targets Lazare was estimated at 194 litres per person per day 10 litres above the provincial target set at 184 litres water use in the municipality was 211 litres per person per day That follows previous years of even higher water usage Lazare was estimated at 224 litres per person per day “We are using too much water,” Lachance said explaining the issue is not strictly a function of water shortage Providing potable water is one of the most expensive services provided by the municipality adding provincial authorities are moving slowly toward imposing a “pay per use” model “We are pretty much going that way,” Lachance said but stressed there is no estimated timeline for when water meters would be required in all homes Lazare is not the first municipality in Vaudreuil-Soulanges to impose water meters Residents of Notre Dame de l’Île Perrot are required to submit their

Last year it was the massive tarp covering construction at Place Vendôme that dethroned Paris as a beauty queen the honor goes to the advertising panels that line the floors of the Saint Lazare metro station earning Paris first place in the "cultural heritage enhancement" category Prix de la France moche 2024 : le palmarès https://t.co/3hMJ5B82oF pic.twitter.com/yDj0vo6bi5 Though Saint Lazare's corridors see thousands of passengers daily the association finds these strategically placed panels disruptive in its active fight against visual pollution And Saint Lazare isn’t the only place affected the association also calls out Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines) in the "Ad Nursery" category for a notable alignment of advertising panels set in gardens along a road Maromme (Seine-Maritime) is highlighted in the "Danger Sign" category for a large billboard by the riverside while the town of Le Port in Réunion Island won in the "Olympic Triple" category for SFR ads placed at the top of a telecom tower It’s a less than flattering outcome for the Île-de-France region which claims two of the four "Ugly France" awardees the association sees its awards as a way to "question the role of advertising in spaces designed for travelers" and to "prevent becoming accustomed to ugliness." Its goal is not to disparage France and its less appealing areas but rather to "open the eyes of those who look past sprawling commercial zones or relentless concrete expansion in the name of progress and modernity."

the monthly St Lazare council meeting on July 13 prompted councillors to declare the water is safe to drink Ignazio Turrigiano and Paola Irrera displayed a used water filter covered with a thick dark coating of what they said was sludge that had apparently accumulated over a six-month period beginning last October before it was replaced with a new filter in March They said a similar thick black coating appeared on another filter they replaced last October six months after it was installed in March 2022 Irrera told council she was concerned whether the accumulation on both filters could pose a potential risk to their health She added they had the water tested by an independent lab and the results showed no apparent abnormalities the couple feel there is something wrong because of the thick accumulation of sediment on the two water filters Councillor suggests changing filter more often “The filter has to be changed regularly Sometimes with the concentration you have on your filter it should be changed every month If you have a water softener you don’t need a filter It just accumulates and you’re creating a problem right there,” said District 5 Councillor Richard Chartrand Chartrand was the interim Mayor Pro Tem for the council session who replaced Mayor Geneviève Lachance because she was absent Irrera repiled that if they didn’t use water filters everything that was trapped by the filters would have entered their bodies.“If we didn’t have a water softener and filter that’s collecting all this everything would be in our system,” she said “Some of them are very good for your health Minerals are very good for the body but not with the concentration that’s on the filter,” said Chartrand “This is good for my body?” asked Turrigiano as he pointed to the filter “If the filter is black it should be changed regularly,” Chartrand replied Irrera said the manufacturer recommends the filter should be changed every six months as a minimum “Even if we change it every month the filters will still collect all this Our neighbours who don’t have filters are ingesting this,” she said Chartrand reiterated the couple should change the filter every month “You’re decreasing the quality of the water and increasing the amount of minerals in the filter,” he said Irrera said the city had checked the water quality coming into her home "They said everything is within norms which is fine but if I’m not using filters this gunk is coming into my body,” Irrera replied Council consensus regarding more regular filter change I don’t know why you have bad water but I suggest you change the filter more often because you’re just decreasing the quality of your water because of the large concentration of minerals in the filter,” said Chartrand District 1 Councillor Tanja Minisini agreed with Chartrand’s assessment “Our water is tested by the city before it enters filtration and it conforms within the norms established by the federal and provincial governments and professionals What’s on the filter is likely because the filter is not being changed often enough You may need to change it more often,” she said I’m very comfortable with the water supply Most people don’t have filters because it’s not necessary The quality of the water that we’re sourcing is fine There’s nothing wrong with the water Even the manganese levels are way below what is accepted,” said District 6 councillor Brian Trainor Irrera said despite council’s reassurances the city’s water is safe for consumption the couple will keep persisting to find out why there’s a high concentration of sediment on their filters “Everyone who doesn’t have filters have become human filters I have gastric problems and I want to know what the long-term effects are of regular consumption,” she said Saint Lazare Councillor Richard Chartrand was asked to resign for comments made to a resident during question period at the council meeting last June and for his email reply to a complaint that was made soon after the meeting Saint Lazare mayor apologies for council's behaviour Chartrand says email was sent to resident by mistake Paola Irrera made the request for Chartrand to resign during question period at the council meeting last night Irrera said the reason she wants Chartrand to resign was because she received a derogatory email response from him that said "...and I quote "Ma réponse serait je m'excuse veille crisse" Chartrand's reply was in response to an email Irrera originally sent to Mayor Geneviève Lachance after the council meeting on June 13 to complain about councils' reaction to concerns she has about the quality of the city's drinking water.  Irrera complained to Lachance about an argumentative and dismissive stance among Chartrand and some other councillors including Pierre Casavant when she raised concerns about the quality of the city's drinking water during question period at the June meeting Irrera also sent a copy of the email to all the councillors who were at the meeting in June including Chartrand.  this is the response I got directly from Mr Chartrand," said Irrera regarding his reply "There were another 11 to 12 blank emails that followed a feeble attempt at damage control after he realized that I received his email," said Irrera "I was flabbergasted to say the least that a public servant would address a citizen regardless of any situation in such fashion he insulted everyone in that council meeting," she said.  Irrera forwarded Chartrand's email reply to Lachance and all the councillors on June 18 "I said I did not find his response acceptable as an apology Sadly the only one who responded was the mayor acknowledging the inappropriateness of the email response "I was disappointed no other councillor expressed their disapproval or concern to such a despicable unprofessional and inappropriate comment and reach out to me by saying that in no way does it reflect on them or show any detachment from communicating that way to residents," said Irrera She asked for an apology from Chartrand for his "unprofessional behaviour that night dismissive and rude at the end".  Irerra also asked Casavant for an apology for his "eye rolling arm swinging and irritability during the council meeting (in June) It was unacceptable and inappropriate." Chartrand was the acting mayor at the June meeting to replace Mayor Lachance who was absent Irrera also described how she felt about council's attitude about her concerns during the council meeting in June "City council meetings are promoted as a forum for residents to express themselves. The June 13 meeting felt like I was on trial Many councillors didn't take the time to listen nor respond in turn," said Irrera.  "I felt under attack by a few councillors Chartrand who was representing the mayor that evening The YouTube video of that session speaks for itself," Irrera added who responded to me using some deplorable language." "I was made to feel council's opinions and answers should have sufficed I was told our water is good and that people who live on reserves don't have drinking water I don't understand or appreciate that guilt tactic," said Irrera.  She added Chartrand told her the gunk on her water filter was only minerals and to replace the filter. "Most shockingly he said 'Did I think or want the city to spend millions of dollars to fix that,'" she said.  If there was a very serious health problem shouldn't the city look into fixing it and find a solution at any price? These are all responses that could cause harm No one thought the water quality could be an issue," said Irrera.  Caution: avoid the Gare Saint-Lazare area, where a major fire has broken out. The incident began shortly after 9 a.m., when the Paris Fire Brigade (BSPP) was called to a fire at the top of this emblematic building opposite the Cour de Rome ravaging the roof and projecting thick black smoke visible from several kilometers away while firefighters worked to contain the blaze and prevent its spread to neighboring buildings The complete evacuation of the building prevented human tragedy The residents were cared for and only one minor injury faced with the height of the building and the intensity of the flames A command post was set up on site to coordinate operations addAsync('//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js'); many Internet users are sharing images of this impressive event while firefighters are urging people to avoid the area and avoid clogging up emergency lines Although the fire was largely under control by late morning firefighters are still working to secure the entire area and prevent any secondary flare-ups The origin of the fire has yet to be determined but witnesses report falling tiles from the burning roof This event serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in an urban environment especially in a district as busy as Saint-Lazare a real crossroads for Parisians during the holiday season remain cautious and follow the recommendations of the authorities Saint Lazare's population could almost double from its current size of 22,773 to 42,313 residents according to densification proposals from the Montreal Metropolitan Community (CMM) Mayor Geneviève Lachance told Néomédia.  The proposals have caused so much concern among its elected officials that council held a special session on July 4 to discuss how the new requirements would negatively impact its aging road sewage and water systems and slowly erode its green spaces and rustic rural charm Council also deposited a document that detailed why the city cannot achieve the current densification requirements as specified in the CMM's Metropolitan Land Use and Development Plan (PMAD) Lachance took to social media after the meeting stating, "The current potential impacts could threaten the town's water resources finances and the unique elements that define Saint Lazare "We're talking about densification within our urban perimeters This is what the CMM is trying to impose on all the MRC municipalities Everyone has to achieve the same ratio of densification We want to keep our character and look and don't have the infrastructure to achieve this," said Lachance The current densification proposal would seriously impact its underground aquifers which currently hold enough water for a population of about 26,000 people.  "We are aware that with the current infrastructure including our present capacity for drinking water resources and the limitations of the sewage system such a proposed densification goal would be impossible to achieve," said Lachance an amendment was made in 2014 to include a provision specifying the Equestrian and Boisé sectors would not be densified because of their unique character and location This exemption is no longer present in the current revised version.  The lack of an adequate public transportation system also makes the densification requirements impractical "They CMM can't think municipalities like ours can develop like Montreal. We're not Montreal therefore we cannot develop into an urban city like Montreal. We need to keep our identity and part of it is our forest and green spaces," said Lachance "It could also require major modifications in our development planning which would have significant repercussions for our town The current potential impacts could threaten our water resources finances and the unique elements that define Saint Lazare," Lachance added The PMAD for the development of Greater Montreal relies on densification to create sustainable living environments around active and public transportation corridors which is not the case in Saint Lazare "Densifying residential areas not served by public transit and the lack of essential services and businesses would only encourage more people to rely on cars for transportation leading to an increase in the carbon footprint which also goes against stated objectives," Lachance added The city is obligated to follow what is imposed on the municipality by higher levels of government "This is not a matter of choice but an obligation we must comply with they may face legal sanctions or enforcement measures and withdrawal or refusal of funding," said Lachance This is the first revision of the current PMAD and the CMM is expected to adopt it in September followed by a public consultation process.  The final version is expected to be adopted in December 2025 and the MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulanges will then have two years to conform to the new densification requirements The Division scolaire franco-manitobaine (DSFM) plans on placing a tipi at each of the elementary schools that offer its pre-kindergarten program as part of its Truth and Reconcilation program to encourage children to learn about First Nations cultures The principal of École Saint-Lazare said there are about five francophone schools in the province of Manitoba that offer pre-kindergarten classes.  offers a pre-kindergarten class in schools that do not have a daycare We are integrating young children as early as four years old to learn French and participate in our culture we have chosen to release quite a few projects outside The tipi is to add a new area to do outdoor teaching.” École Saint-Lazare is the second DSFM school in Manitoba to have the tipi installed The first placement was at École Jour de Plaines in Laurier which took place on National Day of Truth and Reconciliation “The people from the Truth and Reconcilation program organized this to happen so there’s four or five schools in the province planned to have tipi installments We are the only one in the West part of the province that have pre-kindergarten Part of that program included having classes outside so they had given every school that had that pre-kindergarten program a tipi to be set up outside.” He says the program focuses on educating children at a young age about the cultures and history of First Nations as opposed to introducing the subject to students at the high school level.  “I think that younger kids don’t have any apprehension so learning languages and learning different things I believe that if we give them the base on the respect and on the reconciliation aspect of the history that we are trying to write again that should be good for the next generation so that they will better understand the errors and write a new page for our relations between the First Nations and citizens and Métis community.” Fiola said the tipi project happened at the request of the federal government which asked localities to take action to build positive relations with First Nations around their Métis community “I am happy to have you here this afternoon for the installation of the tipi on the grounds of the St-Lazare school For centuries people have passed through Fort Ellice to cross Canada Métis and travelers stopped here to rest This tipi can be found a few steps away from the crossroads of the Assiniboine and Qu’Appelle rivers.” we want this space to be a meeting place between generations and between our peoples This tipi will be a testimony that we want to recognize the presence of First Nations long before the arrival of the Europeans Our tipi will give us a meeting place to share to reflect and to recognize ourselves and share the richness of our respective cultures.” “Our gathering is intended as a response to the actions requested by the Truth and Reconciliation report we recognize that there are other steps to be taken in the future staff and the people in the community will be able to take the initial steps so that our footsteps meet and our paths cross but we can write the pages of the centuries to come I trust that this meeting will mark a starting point in the recognition of our peoples and the beginning of sharing our cultures.” Fiola said it’s important to have the tipi placed at the school because it allows children to learn about the culture of First Nations and be educated on the land they are on and Treaty 4 was signed here on St-Lazare and Fort Ellice our Métis kids and even for some of our European origin kids to get to know the culture and the people that were here long before us.” “I think the cultural part is what we want teachers and students to gain from this We want to provide a space that the kids will have a place to retrospect and have writing sessions outside reflections outside and activities like that,” Fiola said We’ll be doing more of cultural teachings always with a First Nation present.” The activities the school has planned to further educate its students on the different cultures of First Nations include the music He said it will be led by the teachers and First Nations people from communities of Gambler “We already have a course planned for grade nine and grade ten students that focus on First Nations studies but we want to enrich it We hope eventually there will be a curriculum at the high school and elementary level.” as we are a little Métis community here but we want to also recognize the First Nations that are our neighbors we want to acknowledge that we recognize errors of the history but we want to write the pages for the next century on a good basis.” In addition to the installation of the tipi the community honored Louis Riel to acknowledge the 136 years since his passing.  “Today is an important and sad day in the history of the Founder of the province of Manitoba This Canadian politician was the leader of the Métis people on the Canadian Prairies He led three resistance movements against the Canadian government in an effort to protect Métis rights and culture as Canadian influence grew in the Northwest Territories After several requests for a new trial to take place and for an appeal to Queen’s Privy Council for Canada to be rejected Let us take a minute of silence to remember this sad event in our history because it is 136 years since Louis Riel died.” As the tipi was built from the crossroads of the Assiniboine and Qu’Appelle rivers Boh Kubrovich Lead Keeper of Treaty 2 territory talked about the significance of its placement at École Saint-Lazare “Fort Ellice for many years was a trading post but also an area for our Anishinaabe This is a huge moment for us because we are able to transfer the knowledge we have and the resources and research that we have It’s good for us as a territorial government to showcase after 150 years that we are here “The Gambler Nation is a very important nation to us the Gambler would go everywhere all over the territory to tell all their relatives and everyone who would listen ‘don’t sign the treaty don’t make the treaty’ and 150 years later our Treaty still hasn’t been honored or identified in the process of Canada,” he says.  “So what we have done now as a sovereign government is very exciting we have built Canada for the lands but we’re also making sure that we can have reconcilaction We put that ‘c’ in there and we’re doing as much action as we can we want to have wellness and well-being centres in our names We want to embrace our relatives and our nations gave each student at the school a replica medallion that shows the handshaking relations between the Crown and the First Nations Treaty 2 “We’re honoring the handshake because we are telling Canada that in our area and in our flag we don’t have a hatchet We have what is considered our first constitution Allen Sutherland Skownan First Nation Treaty 2 spoke about the meaning the tipi has to Treaty 2 territory.  “My English name is Allen Sutherland Skownan but my real name is Waabski Minazoot Michtaatim which means white spotted horse There are many kinds of shelters that help us get away from the elements of the cold Skownan said the location the tipi was placed at exemplifies the history of how First Nations were treated but also demonstrates a new beginning of relations “We had a long relationship with newcomers from the other side of the world We started off our relationship with peace and friendship with the idea of can we live with you so we said there’s plenty of room on mother earth.  “We became neighbors and as good neighbors should be And that’s been the history of eventually calling our place Canada.”  “Indigenous people played a central role to create the foundation and building of this country But what we are celebrating here today is that history took a wrong turn we weren’t included after to build up that nation We were generous in the first place to share our treaty like Fort Ellice and many other nations but somewhere along the line people forgot about treaties.” As long as we call ourselves Canadians we are all treaty people and right now you are on Treaty 2 territory This is a very important thing to understand the generosity of sharing our place But what we are looking forward to is that when I’m going to be introducing myself as Anishinaabe Saulteaux Canadian Town of Saint-Lazare has been selected to take part in the very first Internet voting trial in Quebec for the next municipal election Internet voting will be offered to electors in certain districts that the town will determine over the course of the year It's time to rent your community garden space in Saint-Lazare This announcement follows a call for interest issued by Elections Québec in May 2023 to municipalities with populations of 20,000 or more These more populous municipalities were targeted in particular because they have fewer unopposed elections A total of 21 municipalities responded to Elections Québec's call and all were selected to take part in the project in terms of administrative region and size will provide a portrait of the use of Internet voting in different environments Elections Québec is conducting this trial to assess the relevance of introducing Internet voting in Québec in order to facilitate access to voting "The approach is intended to be cautious and gradual: in fact only the electorate of one or a few districts or boroughs in each participating city will be able to vote online The chosen sectors should represent around 10% of each municipality's electorate.In all up to 300,000 people in Quebec will be able to vote online These people will be able to choose to vote in person rather than by Internet since all the usual ways of voting will be maintained," we read in a press release issued this Wednesday by Élections Québec Although Élections Québec is coordinating this first test municipal elections are the responsibility of municipal returning officers Centralized coordination is intended to ensure a uniform experience from one city to the next and to exercise rigorous control over compliance with requirements relating to the security reliability and accessibility of the voting solution an agreement will have to be signed between each participating city Elections Québec and the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation which is responsible for applying the Act respecting elections and referendums in municipalities Élections Québec will use an Internet voting solution designed by a specialized company A call for tenders was issued on October 16 The name of the chosen company will be announced by summer 2024 The chosen solution will have to meet over a hundred requirements It will also have to pass a test bench and safety audits A fire engulfed a nine-unit condo building on Place Moïse-Therrien in Saint-Lazare shortly after 12:30 a.m Some twenty firefighters from three fire departments were on hand to assist the building's residents.  At the time of Néomédia's visit no signs of the blaze were visible on the building's façade and all indications are that it originated on one of the residence's rear balconies the most likely cause is a smoker's article The blaze mainly affected two dwellings on the ground and 2nd floors of the building," explains Alain Deguire Assistant Director of Saint-Lazare's Service de sécurité incendie who was on the scene of the incident.  A family of four living in the dwelling where the blaze started was thrown out onto the street and will have to be relocated in the short term due to the extensive smoke An octogenarian suffered smoke
