Vaudreuil-Dorion registry signing will determine whether development referendum will be held John Jantak The Journal
Residents opposed to a proposed new housing development in Vaudreuil-Dorion will have the opportunity to sign a registry today (March 28) between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. at city hall to determine whether the project will go to a referendum process or will proceed as planned based upon the number of signatures that are collected.

A bump in the road Dealing with minor accidents C.J. Maxwell Special contributor
Accidents happen. As do fender benders, bumps, and dings. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky enough that the only damage is to the vehicles and not the passengers, then count this as the most important blessing. If anyone is injured â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even slightly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re required by law to contact emergency services. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already have a joint accident report in your glove compartment, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to drop by your local SociĂŠtĂŠ de lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;assurance automobile du QuĂŠbec (SAAQ) outlet and pick some up. Though a downloadable app exists, online reviews are not favourable with numerous technical glitches arising, according to users.
