Québec Premier François Legault made the announcement in the company of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Christine Fréchette, Minister of the Economy, Innovation and Energy, Minister responsible for Regional Economic Development and Minister responsible for Greater Montréal, and François-Philippe Champagne, federal Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. “Not only are we consolidating 650 existing jobs, but we're also creating 967 high-paying jobs in a leading-edge sector. It's also a strategic project for Quebec. With the Telesat and MDA project, the message we're sending out today is that Quebec continues to stand out. The future of aerospace is in Quebec,” said the Premier. The Quebec government announced its financial participation in the project in 2021. Initially, 650 jobs were expected to be created, but today, an additional 317 jobs will be created thanks to the enhanced project, for a total of 967. The project represents a total investment of over $6.1 billion, including more than $2.6 billion in Quebec. “This agreement with Telesat Lightspeed, which represents the largest space technology program ever designed and built in Canada, will have a significant impact on the growing network of Canadian suppliers and talent, and will provide essential support to the sector as it continues to prosper,” said François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. The Quebec government, through Investissement Québec, is providing $75 million to strengthen MDA's capabilities as a prime contractor for space technologies. Projects to be carried out by MDA include the establishment of Canada's first high-volume satellite manufacturing plant 5.0. “MDA has been a world leader in the design, development and production of satellite systems for decades. These investments will enable us to build our next generation of manufacturing capabilities for our new line of digital satellite products, MDA AURORA, as well as invest in our leading-edge workforce to further strengthen our global position,” said Mike Greenley, President and CEO of MDA. Telesat will also set up a specialized center in Gatineau, in the Outaouais region, for satellite control and operation, cybersecurity, data processing and information technology support. These facilities will enable the development of strategic Quebec expertise in telecommunications technologies and satellite cybersecurity. Pour partager votre opinion vous devez être connecté.

Simple Plan will be headlining Canada Day festivities in Pierrefonds-Roxboro this summer Given the implementation of the Quebec government’s Act respecting the official and common language of Quebec Sainte Anne de Bellevue has announced that “in order to limit the impacts on its English-speaking citizens and facilitate the transition to its implementation and considering that the law allows for some exceptions the Municipal Council of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue adopted a directive specifying the contexts where a language other than French may be used in its communications.” The city is referring to it as Directive on the use of a language other than the official language as a “framework for municipal staff and specifies the rules governing the use of other languages It reflects the obligation to set an example in matters of francization imposed on municipal bodies by Law 96.” SADB mayor Paola Hawa said “We recognize that French is the common language in Quebec and that it is a cultural richness that distinguishes us in America By taking into account the specific context of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and recognizing the important historical contribution of English-speaking culture to the development of our community we are committed to integrating the provisions of the law in a spirit of respect and harmony for all our fellow citizens.” “We understand the concerns of our English-speaking fellow citizens for whom this transition may seem difficult,” she added “We want to assure them that we are taking all possible steps to minimize the impacts on our English-speaking population and to support them in this transition.” More information is available on the SADB website • Pointe Claire Toys Were UsEverything must go as the West Island location of

decorations including my favourite: a hand-carved lantern made from a paper-thin sheet of carrot a small village on the island of Montreal’s westernmost tip isn’t a place you’d peg for having one of the city’s best Japanese restaurants a restaurant run by two Chinese expats and certified Japanophiles Better known as the home of John Abbott College McGill’s Macdonald campus and its bustling waterfront boardwalk Sainte-Anne’s culinary claim to fame is the Halle Berry-approved chicken wings at Cunningham’s Pub — which are great as the West Island’s population demographics have become increasingly diverse From Taiwanese dumplings to Korean barbecue Szechuan noodle soups and Birria tacos — there are a lot of good things to eat in the West But where fast-casual joints have flourished Mont-Brise takes a decidedly more finessed approach and represents one of the few restaurants in the region tackling a finer dining experience.If you’ve never been to Sainte-Anne It’s got a maritime feel to it with its small winding streets lined with clapboard cottages and 1800s stone farmhouses — all of which converge on a picture-perfect waterfront promenade It’s the kind of place where you might expect to get a half-decent plate of fish and chips by the water but sashimi of seasonal buri (Japanese amberjack) flown in fresh from Taoyama or a Chirashi bowl with immaculate Bluefin tuna and Hokkaido uni is something entirely unexpected.  Chef Bingran Yu and his partner Jia Liu (who manages the front of house) opened Mont-Brise back in March of 2022 their relocation to Montreal was a sort of leap of faith Yu had worked as a chef cooking traditional Chinese fare at hotels in Tianjin while fostering a growing love for Japanese food After a few years of apprenticing in Japanese restaurants in China the couple uprooted their lives to join friends already living in Montreal The choice to open up shop in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue was also a leap of faith and one based almost exclusively on the charm of the boardwalk promenade in the summer.After arriving in Montreal Yu took a job working for True World Foods he learned bluefin tuna butchery and would go on to butcher whole tuna for the premiere sushi restaurants in Montreal including Park Yu works with the very finest seasonal Japanese seafood available (except for the Ora King Salmon imported from New Zealand) which he selects for its quality I have eaten at Mont-Brise a half-dozen times to date and each time I have the pleasure of enjoying something different Invariably I have found the food to be thoughtfully prepared entirely authentic (at least to my limited experience of spending six weeks in Japan) and delicious I enjoyed an incredible chawanmushi (a steamed savoury egg custard made with dashi) which was topped with a generous portion of fresh snow crab snow crab shows up on just about every menu worth a damn the crab was treated with exceptional consideration Rather than being smothered in mayo and lemon the sweetness of the crab was met with the subtle sweetness of the warm custard and accentuated by the lingering smokiness of the bonito-flaked dashi used to make the mixture.On another occasion a bed of perfectly steamed rice was topped with two ample filets of grilled freshwater eel glazed with tare (a sauce of soy mirin and sake) and an artfully rolled tamago omelette While this is something extremely common in Japan I have never encountered it on any menu in Montreal seems devoid of ego or self-congratulation Rather than trying to put his imprint on a dish his measure of success seems derived from how faithfully he can execute the recipes he’s so closely studied you can enjoy seasonal grilled fish — in other visits which instantly transported me to a very memorable dinner I had at a Ryokan in Kyoto some years ago.The star of the show is the raw seafood — this is where Yu’s talents and passion shine most you get an immediate feel for this appreciation of the ingredient From the way each fish is portioned and processed to the meticulous choice of crockery and the intricate way in which each element is positioned on the plate everything is done with great care and intention On the particular plate of sashimi I’m envisioning as I write this I think very fondly of the chutoro and otoro (the fattiest and most prized cuts of tuna) which melted on the palate and offered a richness and depth of flavour I have not experienced elsewhere in the city a crystalline jar was filled with a generous pile of sweet and fragrant Hokkaido Uni which I spooned onto some shari (vinegared rice) and wrapped the morsel in an envelope of high-quality nori Yu’s food is both delicious and theatrical — a combination I usually find annoying but is successful here because of the genuine delight behind each of Yu’s decorations Even seemingly simple things like the wasabi which is grated fresh from the root to order are rendered exceptional here.But despite all that Mont-Brise offers in the many times I’ve visited the restaurant I mention this only because I believe it is a criminally under-appreciated restaurant I am writing this review to give Yu and Liu the credit they so clearly deserve but I’m also writing in praise of a restaurant I worry may not last it’s comparable to an average night out at a good restaurant in the city and significantly cheaper than Park I believe that it languishes a bit in Sainte-Anne where it’s only appreciated by a small few I believe Mont-Brise offers a rare and coveted opportunity for the curious diner: the opportunity to uncover a truly hidden gem So many Montreal epicureans have made the pilgrimage to Parcelles in the Eastern Townships and to Bika Farm in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu Why not make the short trip to Sainte-Anne for one of the better Japanese meals you’re likely to have in town For more on Mont-Brise (130 Sainte-Anne), please visit their Instagram This article was originally

parking zones of 15 minutes to allow people to pick up an order Temporary furniture will be installed to encourage people to take the time and enjoy the street and look at the historic buildings on rue Sainte-Anne Speed bumps and signs will also be installed on this section of the street to slow down traffic and create a safe environment for pedestrians “It will allow people to be on the street without it being too crowded so that there is less assembling on the sidewalks.” Another cool transportation option in the area will be the new Navette fluviale a river shuttle that travels between

better sharing of the street between pedestrians cyclists and motorists and facilitate better social distancing in the context of the current pandemic the main commercial artery of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue will turn into a user-friendly street until the end of the month pedestrians will have priority at all times on rue Sainte-Anne motorists and cyclists will be able to continue using this lane but the speed limit will be reduced to 20 km/h speed bumps and other measures will be installed to encourage slowing down The on-street parking spaces in this part of the artery will be transformed into drop-off spaces we want to encourage residents and visitors to take advantage of rue Sainte-Anne stop for an ice cream cone and enjoy the public space to the fullest indicates the mayor of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue It is an invitation to discover or rediscover rue Sainte-Anne and the core of the village as we are all happy to resume our summer activities It is also the first street of its kind on the West Island of Montreal and we are very happy to introduce this innovative concept here.” the Promenade du canal also promises to be busy this summer with the return of street artists and Wednesdays shows from July to September the merchants of Marché Ste-Anne welcome epicureans every Saturday in the summer followed by musical performances between 5 p.m As for the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Canal National Historic Site regulars will be happy to find the newly renovated upstream jetty which offers a splendid view of lac des Deux-Montagnes old community of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue on Montreal’s West Island before which it was part of the sprawling Algonquin and Iroquois territory the walkable town boasts a pretty waterfront I’ve heard there’s a good farmer’s market there the family-friendly spot overlooks the water at the corner of Sainte-Anne and St It comprises a couple of dozen smaller vendors selling everything from cheese organic products with plenty of free samples We tried pickled stinging nettles ($5 for eight ounces from Tout cru); sour and surprisingly complex We also sampled and then bought a $6 loaf of smoked bread from La Boulangerie des Rosiers – it was delicious the next day with gouda cheese and paté Other treats included a taste of the delicate asparagus quiche and various preserves at Les Confitures de Janette; we bought a $7.50 jar of the apple and calvados preserve for our next roast pork dinner You said there are parks and old buildings Small parks with benches dot the waterfront from one end of town to the other There’s also the generous campus of McGill University’s Macdonald College and adjoining John Abbott College at the eastern end of town Many of the homes and commercial buildings date back more than a century Built close to the road with steeply pitched and bell-style roofs in the Quebec style the houses huddle together like village gossips The streets just north of the market including rue Sainte-Jean-Baptiste are worth exploring for their old homes with small and cheerful front gardens Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue also boasts a long boardwalk running beside the canal and locks that link Lac des Deux Montagnes and Lac Saint-Louis The busy canal was originally a commercial passageway but is now used by recreational boaters whose gleaming watercraft prompt the question what exactly do these folks do for a living that they can afford their floating pleasure palaces There’s no shortage of eateries on the main street Most have outdoor terraces leading to the boardwalk pack a lunch to eat at a picnic table alongside the boardwalk or in one of the parks Café Twigs at 85 rue Sainte-Anne makes takeout sandwiches salads and soups (they used to offer picnic baskets and blankets as well but stopped the practice because too few customers returned them) We tried the grilled “Marc” gourmet sandwich for $6.97 without salad or soup; the processed chicken slice was a disappointment cranberry sauce and other ingredients were darn tasty and a single sandwich was enough for two people Clothing boutiques and the like pepper rue Sainte-Anne although the town is more about walking and relaxing than shopping About 15 minutes north of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue at 21125 chemin Ste-Marie a sleepy black bear and more than one hundred other animals The enclosures aren’t overly large and the birds’ flight is restricted by netting above but that may be a small price to pay for the inhabitants who couldn’t survive in the wild because they’ve been injured or otherwise compromised The zoo is also a pleasant place to walk with its mix of boardwalks lookouts and mature trees (“I think we’re in the jungle!” exclaimed one young lady as she dashed by) Any tips on getting to Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue? Take County Road 17 (the continuation of the Queensway and Hwy. 174) to just past Hawkesbury where it joins Hwy. 417. It’s a far prettier route than going all the way on Hwy. 417. In Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, there’s parking on the main street and adjoining lots, though on a busy day you may have to drive to the western end of the canal and park under the train bridge.

$1.5 million – was supposed to come in the form of cultural heritage grants the cost has nearly doubled to $4.3 million It had always been referred as the Braerob farmhouse combining an old Scottish word for hillside with Robillard the name of the family that owned and worked the land and after the city of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue took responsibility for the house it was officially renamed Maison Michel-Robillard is for the city to look into how they might follow through with plans for a visitors’ chalet as part of the City of Montreal’s Grand Parc de l’Ouest project The City of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue recently unveiled its 2018 summer tourist season program Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is the ideal destination for discovery and leisure visitors will have a wide variety of events and activities to choose from in the busy calendar Sainte-Anne already kicked off the season on June 16 with the 10th edition of the now famous car show Cruisin’ at the Boardwalk Hundreds of vehicles were showcased directly on charming rue Sainte-Anne movie set vehicles as well as green energy cars Nature and wildlife enthusiasts will be amazed by what Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue has to offer canoe and paddleboard rentals as well as paddling instruction and paddle board yoga classes perfect for adventure seekers and families looking for a fun day on Lake Saint-Louis The Ecomuseum Zoo – the only outdoor zoo on the Island of Montreal – will surely charm visitors of all ages and provide a peaceful and unforgettable experience Lovers of nature will also enjoy the Morgan Arboretum Marché Sainte-Anne has been welcoming visitors to its enchanting waterfront location every Saturday Special events such as the Garlic Festival and Ecology Day always attract thousands of visitors visitors can enjoy a new and improved cruise selection this year starting June 28 with an enhanced offering on Thursdays and Fridays a narrated one-hour discovery ride on Lake Saint- Louis and a two-hour cruise with bar service to relax at the end of the day or to celebrate summer with an astonishing view of Old Sainte-Anne The Montreal Aviation Museum has expanded its schedule for the summer months visitors can admire the Museum’s aircraft collection and learn about the history of civil and military aviation Friday to Monday from 10 a.m To appreciate the City like a true resident or simply to enjoy the little pleasures in life Sainte- Anne Street and the Canal Boardwalk are not to be missed visitors will easily find free entertainment For more information, visit https://ville.sainte-anne-de-bellevue.qc.ca/en or Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/steannedebellevue/ or visit Quebec Vacances at https://www.quebecvacances.com/sainte-anne-de-bellevue to see everything the city has to offer this summer The City of Vaudreuil-Dorion took advantage of its regular meeting on Monday May 6 to submit a resolution to the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM) To encourage the ARTM to maintain the Express A-40 shuttle service in the wake of the launch of the REM at Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and to build an alternative parking lot outside Vaudreuil-Dorion to coincide with the opening of this new service.  It should be remembered that the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue REM station is scheduled to open its doors Its commissioning will increase traffic in the Vaudreuil-Dorion area since local residents wishing to access the station will have to take the A-40 express shuttle to Côte-Vertu a service whose continuation is not guaranteed “An express shuttle linking the Vaudreuil-Dorion station to the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue REM station could be implemented which could bring a significant flow of traffic to our territory The station parking lot is already filled to capacity due to the situation on the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge.The ARTM owns land along Highway 20 and 40 and we'd like them to build one or more park-and-ride facilities to offset this traffic increase in addition to committing to maintaining the A-40 Express for at least a year after the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue REM station goes into service,” proposed city councillor Jasmine Sharma A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the region's MNAs the elected officials ratified the signing of an agreement with the ARTM for the one-time loan of part of lot 4 559 873 for the construction of a park-and-ride lot The site is located next to the future municipal hub in the Vaudreuil train station area.The agreement is for 1 year “It aims to free up several spaces in the Centre Multisports parking lot where it is currently very difficult for customers to park We also hope that this space will allow those arriving later in the morning to have places to leave their cars before taking public transit,” said Mayor Guy Pilon 2021 /CNW/ -
