François Legault reaching out to the Anglo community in strong Liberal riding Carmen Marie Fabio
editor@yourlocaljournal.ca
Though he unveiled his new poli�cal party in French only in Sainte-Anne-deBellevue six years ago, François Legault is now looking to connect with the Anglophone community to discuss his Coali�on Avenir Québec (CAQ) party pla�orm on issues including educa�on, immigra�on, and why he’s not interested in Quebec separa�on. “I started the CAQ to offer an alterna�ve,” Legault said as he passed by the office of Your Local Journal last week. “Especially for people who are not for the sovereignty of Quebec. I used to be sovereign�st – I’m not anymore. I would like to see the rst elec�on in the last 45 years where the valid ques�on won’t be, ‘Am I sovereign�st or not?’ I would like for the two priori�es to be economy and educa�on.” ImmigraƟon Legault said the CAQ wants complete control in who immigrates to Quebec as opposed to their current law that says the province has say in 70 per cent of newcomers while the remaining 30 is dictated at the federal level. “It’s not only a ques�on of language; it’s a ques�on of values.” Legault elaborated, saying immigrants will always be welcome here but they must accept our values, specifying equality between men and women. “Those who don’t believe in equality between men and women must not be welcome in Quebec.” Legault said with 50,000 immigrants arriving annually, the concept of equal value between the genders is a message that must be sent. Reached in Quebec City, Soulanges Liberal MNA Lucie Charlebois had a different view, poin�ng out the large immigrant community in the region. “I don’t feel like I’m living in a strange land,” she said. “Yes immigrants must have Quebec values and must contribute to Quebec society. That concept has existed since Jean Charest was premier.” The historic stronghold of Liberal votes in our region was ques�oned by

CAQ leader François Legault (right) passed by the office of Your Local Journal last week to speak with editor Carmen Marie Fabio and publisher Monique Bissonne�e to pitch his party’s pla�orm to the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region.
Legault. “If the CAQ wasn’t there, the Liberal Party would be in power forever.” He said the Anglophone votes, and the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region is taken for granted by the Liberal Party.
I started the CAQ to offer an alterna�ve. Especially for people who are not for the sovereignty of Quebec. I used to be sovereign�st – I’m not anymore. – CAQ Leader François Legault “There are both Anglophones and Francophones in the Soulanges region and they’re the ones who elected me,” said Charlebois. “I don’t take any vote for granted and I never will. I meet ci�zens on a regular basis and I am always in my riding every weekend. I meet the media too, but I’m the type of person who goes to the people to hear what they have to say. Maybe Mr. Legault should be doing that in his own riding.”
LogisƟcal hub Legault said signicant differences lie between the long-discussed logis�cal hubs in Vaudreuil-Soulanges and Contrecoeur and while the la�er is well posi�oned for shipping by water, VaudreuilSoulanges – with three major highways and two railways – is be�er suited. He says that area MNAs Lucie Charlebois and Marie-Claude Nichols are not strongly advoca�ng for the logis�cal hub as they assume the region will con�nue to support the Liberal Party in the next elec�on. “As for the logis�cal hub, we’re s�ll working on Bill 85. It’s been deposited and now we have to study it,” countered Charlebois. “If Mr. Legault had followed the work we’ve been doing in the Na�onal Assembly, he’d know that.” EducaƟon In light of previous cuts in educa�on budgets, Legault said the CAQ party would implement changes including addi�onal monies for special educa�on and for kids to start school at the age of four to maximize the efficiency of interven�on programs including au�sm, dysphasia, and A�en�on Decit Disorder
for special needs students. As the Minister for Rehabilita�on, Youth Protec�on, Public Health and Healthy Living, Charlebois recently announced $29 million annual ve-year investment in services and programs for people with au�sm spectrum disorders. Con�nued on page 18

EDITOR’S CORNER
Actual cost We’re si�ng on the cusp of municipal elec�ons later this year and provincial elec�ons in 2018 and although by the calendar, it’s s�ll ages away and far off the radar of most voters, in poli�cs, �me moves at a different pace. Like most ghts, the mudslinging and muckraking begins slowly and builds in direct propor�on to Elec�on Day. In the interim, it’s incumbent upon voters to pay a�en�on to the actual issues at hand to differen�ate between those in opposi�on with valid points, and those who are simply nursing a grudge. It’s an inconvenient reality that we’re caught in a system of bureaucracy that dictates the hierarchy of steps, forms, and commi�ees that must be endured to get things done. As witnessed this past week, procedural delays in addressing the Pine Lake issue have only made the situa�on worse, necessita�ng immediate crisis interven�on. It’s in nobody’s best interests to put off xing a structure like a community centre, by its name the very heart of the ‘community,’ if residents don’t like the idea of incurring any more debt. Change costs money, as does proper maintenance, growth, and stability. Status quo, however, is innitely more expensive.

Emergency measures for Hudson’s Black Creek culvert James Armstrong
Your Local Journal
It became apparent to Hudson Town officials on April 7 that a dire situa�on was developing with the culvert that carries Black Creek under Cameron Road into Pine Lake. Mayor Ed Prévost officially declared it an emergency situa�on so that swi� measures could be taken to make short-term repairs. Currently, the street is limited to onelane traffic in the immediate area of the culvert and is controlled by temporary traffic signals. “We acted quickly because the safety of ci�zens was the issue,” said Director General Jean-Pierre Roy in an interview Tuesday, April 11. High levels of water in Black Creek due to recent heavy rainfall and mel�ng snow threatened to wash out the culvert and part of the road. Upon inspec�ng the situa�on, town employees discovered that the culvert was in danger of collapsing. Emergency situaƟon According to Roy, the ac�on was taken by the town because the circumstances were very serious. “It’s a very excep�onal situa�on and no (municipal) resolu�on is necessary,” he said. He said the Loi sur les Cités et Villes LRQ c. C-19 (Ci�es and Towns Act) permits the mayor, in an emergency situa�on, to order any expense considered necessary and grant contracts to remedy the situa�on. All of the usual rules and regula�ons that would normally apply for replacement of the culvert are waived in an emergency situa�on. Roy said that the Municipalité Régionale de Comté de Vaudreuil-Soulanges (MRC-VS) told Mayor Prévost to go ahead with the repairs. Once the emergency situa�on is handled, the Mayor is required to make a full report at the next town council mee�ng. Temporarily, the plan is to insert a smaller culvert into the damaged one. The decision as to whether the insert will be concrete or metal has not yet been decided. Excava�on of the culvert is slated to begin Tuesday, April 18.
ExcepƟonally high water levels and a disintegraƟng culvert threaten public safety on Hudson’s Cameron Road.
“We are hoping that we won’t have to close the street,” said Roy, “but if that happens, we will let the businesses in town know in advance because of deliveries.” Cameron Road is a main access route for the commercial sector of Hudson. “It’s an old culvert, it cannot handle the capacity of the water ow and it needs to be replaced,” Roy added. Possible grant for repairs Permanent repairs will follow but will have to adhere to the guidelines of the MRC-VS (responsible for all waterways in the region), the Ministère d’Affaires municipales et Occupa�on du territoire (MAMOT), the Ministère du Développement durable, Environnement et Lu�e contre les changements clima�ques, (MDDELCC) and the Ministère de Sécurité Publique (MSPQ). Roy said the town might receive funds from the MSPQ. “We may have the chance of receiving a grant from the Ministry’” he said, adding it would be approximately $58,000 to $60,000 to help cover the cost of repairs
es�mated at a total of $100,000. When asked if the emergency situa�on with the culvert would have any effect on the progress of replacing the

dam on Pine Lake, Roy replied that it would not. “That is no longer an emergency situa�on. We have to take the �me to really do it properly.”

Good audit report for the Town of Rigaud Jules-Pierre Malartre
Special contributor
The Rigaud town council held its monthly mee�ng April 10 going over a lengthy agenda dominated by the ling of the annual nancial report and the independent auditor’s report for the year ending December 31, 2016. A larger than usual number of a�ending residents listened while auditor Michel Poirier of Poirier & Associés went over the 2016 nancial results. Part of the city’s debt was affected to surplus while $8.8 million is borne by taxpayers with a total of $10,239,000 in long-term
debts. Taxa�on revenues of $9.9 million with compensa�ons from taxes of $1.4 million and other revenues were declared. An overview of expenses for 2016 was provided. “We have gone over your revenues, expenses, and nancial statement, and your nancial health is good,” Poirier said. “Our mandate also includes looking for any evidence of mismanagement. We have found nothing that needs to be men�oned on how the city is being managed. Everything is going very well,” Poirier concluded. Detailed results will be published on the city’s website in the coming day
Mayor Hans Gruenwald Jr. asked Poirier for conrma�on that the city had adhered to all auditor instruc�ons over the previous year. “We followed up on the recommenda�ons we made last year. This is the beauty of the town of Rigaud, all our recommenda�ons were followed,” Poirier answered. Yard waste Resident Robert Legault brought up the difficul�es of disposing of yard waste. “We don’t know where to bring dead branches. I went to the ecocentre and they don’t take branches.” General Manager Chantal Lemieux answered that solu�ons and informa�on would be provided soon. “Previously, residents could bring branches to 391 Chemin de la Mairie. We evaluated the possibility of bringing them to the ecocentre, which turned out was not feasible. We are looking at different possibili�es.
We are aware that some people cannot transport their branches, so we are looking at companies that can provide that service.” Rink costs Legault also brought up the cost of the Rigaud River ska�ng rink. “Given its cost, is it something you want to repeat next year? Shouldn’t we be�er promote our other exis�ng parks and ska�ng rinks instead?” Mayor Gruenwald replied the ques�on was under study. “We collected data, and 75 to 80 per cent of people who used the rink came from outside Rigaud. It’s one of the links in our chain of tourism,” he said as he stressed the importance of developing tourism in Rigaud. “It’s another important element to a�ract people. When people come here, they go to Tim Hortons, they go to Restaurant Hamelin. They offer Rigaud people work.”

On Tuesday, April 11, Hudson Town Council issued a statement in response to the controversy on social media regarding Loan By-law 687-2017 approved at the council mee�ng on Monday, April 3. Described as an “umbrella” by-law, it provides for a loan in the amount of $555,000 for renova�ons to the community centre. At the same �me, according to the statement, the town will apply for a grant through the Canada 150 Infrastructure Program (PIC150). The requested grant amount is for 50 per cent of the eligible costs, up to $250,000. In a mee�ng with Your Local Journal this week, Mayor Ed Prévost, and Councillors Natalie Best and Nicole Durand emphasized if the town does not receive the PIC150 grant, the loan by-law will be withdrawn. In fact, Sec�on 5 of the by-law states that it is condi�onal
on obtaining the grant from the federal government. RenovaƟon list Renova�on plans include replacement of the roof, electrical connec�ons and an upgrade to the kitchen facili�es. Best also pointed out that since the building is designated as an emergency refuge centre for the town, the generator requires a permanent connec�on to the building. The statement indicates other mechanical components such as air condi�oning, hea�ng, ligh�ng, and sanitary installa�ons must be redone. “A lot of groups use the kitchen,” said Best adding, “each and every �me we have an event such as the Breakfast with Santa, the breaker switches keep shu�ng off.” There are also plans for an access ramp to the youth centre for those with reduced mobility and repairs to the exterior parking lot.

Ste. Anne’s council passed a resoluƟon at the April 10 council meeƟng to study a proposal to turn its iconic water tower into an indoor greenhouse.
Green option proposed for Ste. Anne’s water tower
John Jantak
Your Local Journal
Turning the Ste. Anne de Bellevue water tower into an indoor greenhouse is being touted by Mayor Paola Hawa as a viable op�on to preserve the iconic historic landmark a�er ques�ons were raised about its future during the council mee�ng on Monday, April 10. That’s when council unanimously adopted a resolu�on that will allow them to consider whether it will be prac�cal to apply for a subsidy from the Federa�on of Canadian Municipali�es (FCM) that would be used to defray the cost of the proposed project. For Hawa, the greenhouse proposal is an excep�onal concept that focuses on out-of-the-box thinking. “I’ve always thought that it would be really funky to turn that tower into a ver�cal farm,” said Hawa. It was architect Sevag Pogharian’s sugges�on that the city consider applying for a subsidy through the FCM that prompted council to consider the proposal as a feasible op�on, said Hawa, and stressed that his involvement is strictly voluntary. Pogharian’s architectural rm Montréal Zero specializes in net zero energy as well as autonomous or self-sufficient buildings and neighbourhoods. Legacy buildings “Municipali�es are o�en le� with legacy buildings and the water tower is a perfect example of where the structure used to serve a purpose but doesn’t anymore,” Pogharian told Your Local Journal. “It’s a perfectly ne structure. So what do you do with these buildings? “In the case of the water tower, a greenhouse is a perfectly good new use for it,” added Pogharian. “It’s not a use that would have made any sense 30 years ago, but today it really does. We have a food system that has some deep aws and using this structure to produce winter greens is a very sensible way of replacing what we would have otherwise imported from great distances. That’s the concept.” PainƟng costs The fate of the tower remains uncertain as council s�ll hasn’t determined whether it should be demolished at a cost of $800,000 or the façade repainted
for $400,000. “Whether it’s repainted by graffi� ar�sts or whether a single colour is used, it will s�ll cost $400,000. The main cost involves the scaffolding that’s needed around the tower, which will take up 50 per cent of the budget,” Hawa said. Demolishing the tower would bring about its own challenges because it’s located in a residen�al area next to houses. It could also nega�vely impact traffic ow along Autoroute 20 adjacent to the tower, including the eastbound entrance to the autoroute from Ste. Anne’s, said Hawa. While council s�ll has to decide whether it will proceed with the subsidy applica�on process, Hawa feels the greenhouse proposal is feasible and would protect a structure that is a major part of the city’s historic heritage, especially with the recent demoli�on of the hose tower that sat atop city hall. “If people had an emo�onal �e to the hose tower, it’s even more so with the water tower,” she said. Possible grant “There’s up to $1 million in subsidies available for a project that is innova�ve, deals with urban agriculture, and reduces greenhouse gasses. It’s about applying new technologies so why don’t we try to build a ver�cal farm with zero emissions? It’ll make the tower useful, the subsidies will help, and it’ll be an icon not only to the history of Ste. Anne’s, but because people will see it from afar, it’ll also be a beacon to innova�on,” said Hawa.
Q. Three years ago, when my niece (who has always lived with her mother) was 20, her father passed away. He had no spouse, no common-law partner, and he had no other children. There was no will and no estate to speak of. His family (mother, father, brothers and sisters) took care of the funeral arrangements. He was cremated and there was a very nice ceremony and my niece was invited to do a reading. While we don’t know for sure, we assume that his family likely paid for most of the funeral expenses, as this was a man who by all accounts had very li�le. My ques�on has to do with the rights to his remains. The informa�on that I have been able to gather would indicate that there is a legal hierarchy, and that my niece should in fact have the rights, however his family won’t give her access to them. At the present �me, the remains are in the possession of the deceased’s parents. Can you please shed some light on this? A. Sec�on 42 of the Civil Code states that persons of full age may determine the disposal of their body and, in the absence of, ‘wishes expressed by the deceased, the wishes of the heirs or successors prevail’. Let’s look at this more closely. When there is no will, as in the case you describe, it’s called a legal succession. Dying without a will means the estate may be divided among successors who accept the estate – that is the spouse, children, parents and/or siblings depending on who survives. In terms of hierarchy, the inheritance rights fall to the spouse, children, parents, and siblings in that sequence but not necessarily in equal parts. One would have to carefully check the facts of your case before drawing conclusions. Beginning at Sec�ons 653 of the Civil Code one can do an analysis to see who would be the successor(s). Sec�on 42 also se�les the issue of costs for the disposi�on of the body since it states that the ‘expenses are charged to the succession.’ Generally speaking there are other thorny issues, not necessarily applicable to your case, which may arise should many successors have rights to human remains. For example, while not binding on us in Quebec, the US Supreme Court has decided that while rela�ves have no property rights in the remains of a deceased person there can be a valid claim to possession. Some jurisdic�ons have been looking at what to do when possession and indivision debates arise, when two or more successors have rights to the human remains, such as spli�ng the remains (if ashes) or envisioning some sort of joint or alterna�ng custody. There is currently in Quebec Bill 66 (Funeral opera�ons Act) that is moving towards adop�on. It seeks to clarify notably the where and how of disposing ashes, with dignity and respect, but it does not address the rights to human remains when there are numerous successors with equal rights who disagree. In those cases, when conict cannot be avoided one can look to media�on before going to a judge. One might suggest dividing ashes between members of the family, or, as an alterna�ve, everyone may agree to bury the ashes or have them interred in a mausoleum so that all survivors may come to a par�cular site to visit them. This arƟcle is not a legal opinion or legal advice. To obtain a specic opinion for your situaƟon please consult a lawyer or notary.

The project, valued at $45 million, involves building a new 120-kV transmission line between Les Cèdres and Dorion substations, and dismantling and rebuilding part of the line between Dorion and Vaudreuil-Soulanges substations. In addition, the construction of a line segment for supplying the Ericsson facility in Vaudreuil-Dorion, which was announced as part of the current project, will be carried out in the coming years based on growth in customer needs.
Compliance monitoring During the construction period, a Hydro-Québec environment specialist will be onsite to monitor the project’s progress and ensure that the work is carried out with due respect for the environment. The environment specialist will also be in charge of maintaining constant communication with affected landowners.
Project schedule Construction will be carried out until October 2017. " $ ' 40

If you recall dear readers, last week on this page I reported on Hudson’s indefa�gable 97-year-old Maxine Bredt and her daughter, ChrisƟne, having been invited by the Canadian Government to a�end the 100th Anniversary of the BaƩle of Vimy Ridge ceremonies in France this past Sunday, April 9. Well, also in a�endance were two fellow Hudson Legion members, avid globetro�ers, and VaudreuilPHOTO BY Dorion residents John & Inga Lawson who were MAURICE JEFFERIES there on a two-week tour of the ba�leelds and cemeteries of Northern Europe, including, of course, Normandy synonymous with the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, and Vimy Ridge, the site of a seminal event in Canada’s history forever altering our country’s status in the world. --------------NOT FORGOTTON - Before he le�, I caught up with John and was intrigued to learn that he was a graduate of the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, who was commissioned as a pilot and who would go on to test y aircra�, y ghters, as well as instruct others, before joining the world of civil avia�on in 1961 with Canadair and Bombardier. “The ethic of service to Canada has always been important to me. And having spent a good part of my life in the military, it is something I have always wanted to do,” said John. “My father served in World War II and I lost both my grandfathers in World War I. When I think of the horrendous loss of life on all sides during both wars, it is such a tragedy. And I guess this is my own personal way of thanking them for their sacrice. And to tell them that they are not forgo�en.” A sen�ment echoed at the Hudson Legion Branch #115 this past Sunday, April 9, when 2nd Vice President, Rod Hodgson, lowered the ag just a�er sunrise to half-staff un�l sunset and conducted a short remembrance ceremony at 1 p.m. in front of the cenotaph while saying a few words about those from Hudson who fought at Vimy. According to Rod’s records, an es�mated 20 to 25 and perhaps even more and only one of whom was killed in ac�on. Lest we forget. --------------THRILL OF A LIFETIME - Now I have to be honest folks, for me squash is something you eat, not play. But for long�me Hudsonite Philip Habib it has been a lifelong passion. The sport that is, not the food. And as he told me this week, he experienced a thrill of a life�me back in April 1985 when, on a show en�tled appropriately enough Thrill of a LifeƟme broadcast na�onally on CTV, he played a match in Toronto with legendary professional player, the great Sharif Khan who won just about every honour there is in the sport. “So why are you telling me now?” I asked. “Because last month, and with the help of Squash Ontario, I managed to track him down 32 years a�er we played that game at his club in Richmond Hill,” explained Philip for whom it was obviously another thrill of a life�me. “I contacted him, and he and his wife, Karen, graciously invited Diana and I and her mother, Sally, to their Toronto home for dinner. Sidelined by health issues in 2014, I learned that up un�l then Sharif was ac�vely coaching squash in Toronto clubs and s�ll remains connected to the North American squash community. Added Philip, “Sharif is recovering well. And what a true honour it was for me to be able to spend an evening with this world class champion, who I had last met so long ago. Together we watched a documentary about his father, the legendary Hashim Khan, who dominated the sport in the 1960s and started the world famous Khan squash dynasty. “We also perused his personal scrapbook of press clippings and photos from newspapers from around the world. It was also very fortunate that I was able to conduct a videotaped interview with him which I will cherish and keep with the videotaped game of our match. It was as much a thrill to be able to spend an evening with this gracious gentleman and legendary champion as it was to play that memorable game of squash with him on that day so may years ago.” Ah, Philip. What a wonderful story. One ques�on I forgot to ask you, however, was who won back in Toronto? But then I guess you did. PHOTO COURTESY PHILIP HABIB Regardless of the nal score!

The Pine Beach housing development presentaƟon of drawings, plans and a three dimensional model was pitched in February. The scope of the project has now changed following ciƟzen feedback.
Hudson gets a wider slice of Sandy Beach James Armstrong
Your Local journal
The Hudson Sandy Beach Municipal Project has been altered in size as Hudson Director General, Jean-Pierre Roy announced Tuesday, April 11. “We have been able to increase the size of Sandy Beach,” said Roy in an interview, explaining the depth of the beach has been enlarged from 20 metres to 30 metres and that buildings originally proposed to be built close to the beach have been moved back. According to the DG, a mee�ng was held between the town and the owner of the Pine Beach Development Project following the public presenta�on by the developer on February 16 of this year. “We listened to the ci�zens’ comments and sugges�ons following that presenta�on,” said Roy. Dening Sandy Beach and Pine Beach In documenta�on supplied by the Town, the ‘Sandy Beach Municipal Project’ is described as the, “implementa�on of an organized beach mainly accessible to Hudsonites, a nature preserve, trails, streets, and public infrastructure at the expense of the developer, all in accordance with the respect of both the environmental and municipal criteria.” The ‘Pine Beach Development Project’ refers to the integrated residen�al project proposed by the company Nicanco Holdings Inc. owned by HansKarl Muehleg. Number of units and beach access Roy said the developer agreed to
reduce the number units from 306 to 256. Revision of the plan includes two new servitudes providing access to the beach within the axis for private driveways. Roy said that in total, there will be ve access points to the beach. Possible purchase of Sandy Beach Hudson residents have asked if it is possible for the town to purchase the area known as Sandy Beach and the surrounding forest from the developer and preserve it as parkland. Resident Richard Grinnell presented a pe��on to council during the Monday, April 3 council mee�ng asking that a townwide referendum be held on the ques�on. The owner of the property has responded to the town in a le�er dated April 6, 2017, that it “does not wish to sell the Sandy Beach site in part or in whole. If this had been its goal, it would have done so long ago.” The letter con�nues with the statement that the developer rmly intends to con�nue with the Pine Beach Project. ReacƟon against the project In an interview Wednesday, April 19, Grinnell pointed out that not everyone in Hudson is in agreement with the Pine Beach development. Grinnell said that he wasn’t aware of all the details of the announcement. “I’m not an�-development,” he said adding that there are many people who have a sincere desire to preserve the area and that isn’t being recognized by the town officials. He said that in the case of servitudes, the developer con�nues to own the property. He also indicated that he is not ready to give up on his project to preserve the property.

Pincourt unhappy with higher costs for regional public transit John Jantak
Your Local Journal
Pincourt adopted a resolu�on at the Tuesday evening council mee�ng April 11, reques�ng the provincial government reconsider changes that were imposed on the region’s public transit system which could adversely affect the quality and increase the cost of services currently provided. Bill 76, which was adopted by the Quebec Na�onal Assembly in May 2016, merged the public transit services of 16 North Shore and South Shore municipali�es into two bodies, one dedicated to providing train and bus service and the other to plan bus and train routes. It means the Conseil intermunicipale du transport (CIT) La Presqu’Île, which also provides adapted transit services through Transport Soleil, will be phased out and replaced with a new opera�onal body. Municipali�es will also lose their ability to design their own routes to the new planning body, two factors
which have caused dissen�on among regional off-island mayors affected by the changes. Preserving quality service “The reason behind our resolu�on is to tell all our ci�zens about the posi�on of the Town of Pincourt,” Mayor Yvan Cardinal told Your Local Journal. “It’s about preserving the quality of service we’ve established over the past few years and maintaining it at a reasonable cost. The money that we invest into the service is something that we want to keep for our ci�zens.” Cardinal pointed out the CIT Number 35 bus route that runs between the Dorion train sta�on and John Abbo� College in Ste. Anne de Bellevue as a prime example of how important the service has become for Pincourt residents. From a simple mini-bus route that began opera�ng minimally only during weekday rush hours, it has evolved into a major, mid-size bus route that serves Pincourt, Île Perrot and VaudreuilDorion residents and operates seven

days a week, morning un�l night. Increase in cost of service While the province may have had good inten�ons trying to make public transit more efficient by regula�ng fares and routes through two new en��es, Town Manager Michel Perrier expects the cost of service will increase as the commi�ees take charge. “The cost of transporta�on without adding any new services, just keeping the same base that we have right now, would cost $8 million more than the current cost for the South Shore, which includes us. What we’ve also no�ced is the cost for Montreal is going down,” said Perrier. “We salute the effort by the government to improve service, but we should not have to pay extra costs because of a change in organiza�on. We’ve been
running and administering our service for an affordable cost. There’s no way we want to pay more,” said Perrier. District 5 Councillor Jim Miron, who is also Vice-President of both the CIT La Presqu’Île and Transport Soleil, said he’s concerned about what the integra�on of services into two major bodies will do to the quality of service for regular users. “I nd it’s just a cash grab,” said Miron. “They’re turning everything around to make sure Montreal gets its costs reduced and that everybody else in the (Montreal Metropolitan Community) ends up paying for it. Especially when you take the North and South Shores including Laval and Longueil, we have more popula�on than the en�re Island of Montreal.”

sibility of, the Town of Hudson. When asked if any of the money, either from the loan by-law or the Canada 150 grant would be given to the Legion, the response was an empha�c ‘no.’ “This is an infrastructure loan and grant to repair the building,” said Best. Type of Loan An umbrella loan by-law was chosen for several reasons. “It looks more favourable with the government and gives us the exibility of wai�ng un�l we know if we will receive the grant before pu�ng out a call for tenders,” said Durand. Repayment and taxes Repayment of the loan-by law will happen over 20 years. According to Sec�on 3 of the by-law, a special tax will be levied on taxable proper�es of the territory of the town based on their value as it appears on the assessment roll in force each year. “One part of it will be paid on the spot in the rst year by the $250,000 grant,” said Roy. ”One of the reasons we are using a low interest loan by-law is that we spread out the burden over more genera�ons,” he added. “It’s not only us who will be using the building, but also people who move to Hudson in the future,” said Best. A registry regarding the loan by-law will be open Tuesday, April 18, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Town Hall located at 481 Main Road.

It’s being billed as Na�onal Canadian Film Day 150 in honour of our country’s sesquicentennial, and on Wednesday, April 19, in what is surely the biggest ever one-day lm fes�val in the world, there will be almost 1,000 free screenings from coast to coast in every kind of venue including theatres, restaurants, community centres, libraries, record stores, military bases, and even in Canadian embassies in foreign lands. Here in Quebec, there are only two loca�ons par�cipa�ng. One of them in Po�on, the other right here in our community, courtesy of the Hudson Film Society (HFS) now in its 11th year of screening both Canadian and interna�onal movies at the Hudson Village Theatre, 28 Wharf Road. “It’s a great coup for our li�le town,” HFS president Clint Ward told Your Local Journal this week. “And because of our society’s affilia�on with the Toronto Interna�onal Film Fes�val (TIFF) through its outreach organiza�on, Film Circuit, of which we are a member and which is partnering with REEL Canada on the project, we are ge�ng in on the party.” Said Ward, “We’ve opted to screen 32 Short Films about Glen Gould, the brilliant pianist who had all the marks of genius. From his posi�on at the heart of McLuhan-era Toronto, he single-handedly set a new standard for playing Bach but then re�red to explore the possibili�es of recording. “Impa�ent with the rigid tradi�ons of the classical music world, he then became increasingly absorbed in different media including mastering the intricacies of recording studios, creating radio documentaries, and prefer-

And we invite all local lovers of lm to join us on April 19 when we will be presen�ng screenings at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at HVT and all free of charge.” Pick up your Ɵckets – there is a limited supply – at the Pure Art BouƟque, 422 Main Road in Hudson, or at the Hudson Film Society screenings at the theatre, 28 Wharf Road, April 17 and 19.

Getting ready for Hudson’s fourth annual Shave2Save Lauren Mitchell
Special contributor
The Hudson Fire Department is busy planning its upcoming fourth annual Shave2Save cancer fundraising event taking place Saturday, April 22, beginning at noon, where par�cipants are welcome to get their heads completely shaved, live in front of hundreds of guests. All the shorn locks – if long enough – will be donated for use in wigs for those who’ve lost their hair from chemotherapy. Cindy Ha�e, a cancer survivor herself from Village Hairstyle in Hudson, will be shaving Robin Smith’s head this year, a survivor of breast cancer. “I was diagnosed in January of 2014 with Stage 3 breast cancer,” explained Smith. “I found the lump myself through self-examina�on. I had my par�al mastectomy in February of 2014 and once healed, I began my eight chemotherapy treatments which lasted sixteen weeks.

Three weeks a�er I completed my chemotherapy treatments, I began my radia�on treatments. The treatments were very difficult on me but I survived them and thankfully I’m s�ll alive. I understand exactly why my mom said to me one morning a�er I was grumbling and complaining about having a “bad hair” day, she said ‘be thankful that you have hair’. My mother had just lost her hair from chemotherapy ba�ling breast cancer, and eventually she lost her ba�le with breast cancer. She will always be my hero.” The event this year will also be to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society, for which the Hudson Fire Department has already collected over $42,000 in the past three years of hosting the event. This year they have set a huge goal of raising $20,000 to try and make it their biggest year yet. “I want to help raise money for research for all cancers,” said Smith. “If I can help to prevent anyone from having to go through what I did, I would be a very happy lady. I want people to be aware that funding is needed for research.” Smith recounts that three years ago, she didn’t have a choice to lose her hair. “Now I’m making the choice and I’m choosing to be shaved. I have gured out through my journey that my hair just isn’t that important to me anymore. It will grow back and if it doesn’t that

Easter Greetings A Horse Tale and Zee Grub Easter event features sugar shack fare, BBQ and horses Stephanie O’Hanley
Special contributor
What’s a sugar shack experience without horses? This Saturday, April 15, Vaudreuil-Dorion volunteer-run horse rescue organiza�on A Horse Tale (AHT) is teaming up with local authen�c BBQ caterers Zee Grub for a unique Easter special event. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. visitors will not only be able to enjoy Zee Grub’s authen�c Southwestern Smoked barbecue food items served alongside tradi�onal sugar shack dishes, AHT is bringing its horses Uly and Smouch up to Zee Grub’s sugar shack all fes�vely decorated so people can admire them. A por�on of the money visitors pay for meals will go to A Horse Tale. What’s more, there’s an Easter egg hunt for children ages 12 and under, with eggs hidden not too far from the main building, located on the site of the former Sucrerie de la Seigneurie on route Harwood. “We won’t put it too far because there’s s�ll muck,” said Diane Thibodeau, who runs Zee Grub with
her husband, Montreal Chef Michael Phillips. “All along the premises, we’ll hide the Easter eggs,” Thibodeau said. “We’ll put them in plas�c (eggs), those plas�c colourful ones, we’ll stuff them. That way nothing gets wet and yucky.” Meals served inside the main building, which Thibodeau says has “cabane à sucre-style beau�ful wooden tables and benches” cost $30 per adult and $16 for kids (taxes included, cash only) and feature barbecue cuisine (pulled pork, beef brisket, beef short ribs, BBQ’d baked beans) served with classic sugar shack fare such as pea soup, breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, home fries, tour�ère and pudding chomeur. Reserva�ons are recommended (see details below). Zee Grub has worked with AHT since 2015, helping them with fundraising, Thibodeau said. What’s more, a number of AHT members, including Vice-President Mike Grenier and his wife are regular customers, she said. “This is the rst �me that we’ve done anything at the sugar shack,” Thibodeau said. “Normally we partly donate food and help them with their
fundraising on site. Now we are joining forces together.” Bringing horses to Zee Grub’s catering headquarters makes sense, since horses used to be part of the old Sucrerie de la Seigneurie, which was closed for eight years, she said. “Horses and barbecue, sugar shack, all these things are a great marriage all together,” she said. “Food, animals, something sweet, it’s a beau�ful thing, plus friendship,” Thibodeau added, no�ng the sugar shack atmosphere invites people to talk to one another and linger. Zee Grub is located at 2970 Route Harwood in Vaudreuil-Dorion. To reserve a place for Saturday’s event, call (514) 576-0452 or email Zeegrub@ gmail.com. If you don’t make a reservaƟon, you can put your name in upon arrival and spend Ɵme outside with the horses and AHT members while you wait. For more info on AHT, consult ahtrescue.org.

John Abbott student wins big with $20,000 jackpot Lauren Mitchell
Brooklyn Joseph, a student of John AbboƩ College and resident of Lachine, hit the big one recently as she won the $20,000 jackpot from the K103 Radio StaƟon bingo game. The staƟon is based in Kahnawake on the South Shore where Joseph went to buy bingo cards from the radio’s broadcasƟng centre and tuned in every Friday night to play the game. “I heard about the game from my mom,” explained Joseph. “She told me there was a big jackpot on March 31, a jackpot of $20,000. I told her I was going to play and win.” Joseph did just that. Radio announcers called the numbers live over the radio every Friday night for one month as
parƟcipants covered the corresponding numbers on their cards. Joseph ended up geƫng a full card and on March 31, jackpot day, she called the staƟon to say she had reached a bingo. AŌer verifying each number, she was announced the winner. “I really didn’t believe it at rst,” said Joseph. “It didn’t feel real unƟl I went to pick up the money at the radio staƟon, I was shaking I was so excited. They counted out $20,000 in $20 bills and handed it to me. I was super nervous to have all that money on me so I went straight to the bank! I gave some money to my parents and sibling then bought a second-hand car. I plan on just saving the rest of the money but I might take a small vacaƟon too!”

In Memoriam
Pat Patterson PATTERSON– Pat, aged 72, of Summerside, PEI, formerly of Hudson, Quebec, died peacefully on April 6th, 2017 following a long battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his wife and friends at Prince County Hospital, Summerside. Born in Montreal, he is survived by his cherished wife, Cathy (Perowne), and by his step-children Holly (Amos) Morse and Ryan Lymburner (Carly Gilchrist); Grampa of Jake and Aden. Pat was a retired Montreal Police Officer, avid skier, golfer and sailor. He lived life to the fullest and will be sadly missed by many! A very special thank you to Dr. John Morash, who kept pulling for Pat, every step of the way. It was Pat’s wish that there be no visitation or funeral service. A celebration of his life will take place at a later date. Completion of funeral arrangements entrusted to Moase Funeral Home, Summerside. Memorial donations to the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing or to the charity of your choice are gratefully acknowledged. www.moase.ca 18

Discover your local businesses! Garages et Cabanons Vaudreuil – adding value to your home Jules-Pierre Malartre
Special contributor
No home is complete without a garden shed and all home owners dream of driving their car out of their garage, especially on our typical cold Quebec winter mornings. Adding a shed or a garage to your property is no small proposi�on so it’s comforting to know that you can entrust those projects to the skilled and experienced professionals at Garages et Cabanons Vaudreuil. “We custom design each shed and garage for our clients,” owner Pier-Luc Sevigny says. Pier-Luc is proud to carry on the tradi�on of quality workmanship that has been the cornerstone of the company’s reputa�on since 1976. Pier-Luc’s extensive contractor background gives him the skills and experience to ensure the success of your shed or garage project. He takes care of every client and provides a personalized customer service approach that is the perfect complement to the quality materials and workmanship of all Garages et Cabanons Vaudreuil’s crea�ons. Garages et Cabanons Vaudreuil’s quality service and workmanship have earned them a reputa�on to be envied and recommenda�ons from clients that keep returning. “A client who bought a shed 19 years ago came in this week to order a garage,” Pier-Luc says. “The shed s�ll looks great a�er 19 years. The quality of our materials and workmanship makes all the difference.”
“We offer superior quality products at very compe��ve prices,” Pier-Luc adds. Working with Garages et Cabanons Vaudreuil is not only a guarantee of quality workmanship, it’s also the reassurance that your new shed or garage will blend in harmoniously with your home’s design. “The exterior nishing looks just like a home. A lot of compe�tors use cheap materials, and the shed ends up looking terrible a few years down the road.” We all dread the chaos that o�en comes with any construc�on work. Pier-Luc’s philosophy ensures that you are inconvenienced as li�le as possible while he installs your new shed or garage. “We promise a four-week lead-�me. We have four complete installa�on teams. This ensures that a client who orders a shed or garage in July doesn’t have to wait un�l October.” Pier-Luc’s approach also ensures that workers are not onsite for weeks. “That can become frustra�ng for the client. We do as much as possible in our installa�ons so that we are onsite at the client’s home for only about two days.” A garage and shed are not only welcome addi�ons to your home – they also add value to your property. “We are also the only supplier who gives a three-year warranty,” Pier-Luc adds. Garages et Cabanons Vaudreuil is located at 910 Boul. Harwood in VaudreuilDorion. You can visit their website at www. cabanonetgarage.com or call (514) 2600889 to nd out more about their products and services.

Wow, what a fantas�c year! First and foremost, thank you to our clients, those both buying and selling. From selling million dollar homes within days to some of the top grossing sales in the West Island and the selling of the ‘unsellable,’ we thank you all for your con�nued trust and condence. We have now passed the $20,000,000 mark (yes, million) in sales of our luxury residences, accompanying our buyer clients in their new purchase and our current offerings to the market, which includes a new breathtaking lis�ng in Hudson, on the Whitlock West Golf Course. Client loyalty is the best statement of Nelson and Cathia’s success. “We deal with a very high number of referred clients. One of the most beau�ful tes�monials is when clients refer us to their families and friends alike,” Nelson adds. The success we have brought to our clients comes from intense marke�ng using the best tools available both locally and globally. Engel & Völkers pioneered the interna�onal pres�ge residen�al market when it was founded in 1977 and has maintained its leadership posi�on for nearly four decades. Engel & Völkers operates over 800 brokerage offices staffed with more than 8000 brokers in 38 countries. Our clients’ residences are posted on 172 specialized real estate websites around the world. “It has become an interna�onal market that is very ac�ve. The idea is for clients to go for a more personalized approach based on service. We’re a company with a ‘bou�que’ approach even though we are locally and globally ac�ve.”
Engel & Völkers is represented locally by Nelson Julien and Cathia Duchesne, experts with over 15 years of real estate experience. Engel & Völkers established its presence in Quebec over a year ago and it has already secured a leadership posi�on in the luxury real estate market. Now with six offices in Westmount, Outremont, the Old Port, Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Bromont and the soon-to-open office in the Golden Square Mile of downtown Montreal. “With over 43,000 proper�es worldwide, our clients quickly realize the value of our ac�ve collabora�ve interna�onal network and very effec�ve online presence. We are where our clients are, everywhere around the globe.” Engel & Völkers provides pres�ge turnkey real estate services to customers interested in buying or selling a property, locally or abroad. While the interna�onal pres�ge real estate market may seem to only apply to mul�-million dollar homes, the personalized approach embraced by Nelson and Cathia ensures that their services are not limited to some proper�es. One of the other keys to Engel & Völkers’ success is its dedica�on to quality marke�ng tools. “Our adver�sing material really makes a different impression from the material produced by the other brokerage agencies,” Cathia says. “Our pictures and videos are produced by a professional photographer who works exclusively for Engel & Völkers.” The local offices of Engel & Völkers are located at 1359 Greene Avenue in Westmount. You can reach Nelson Julien at (514) 979-0088 or nelson.julien@evcanada.com; and Cathia Duchesne at (514) 506-7371 or cathia.duchesne@evcanada.com. You can also visit the website at evcanada.com.
