MOT DU MAIRE
A WORD FROM THE MAYOR
I am sure that all citizens are
enjoying the summer weather
and are ready to attack their
fall projects with renewed
enthusiasm. Once again our
weather is not as hot or dry as
the West but we don’t have
their forest fire problems
either.
The big news in the
Community
is
the
announcement by Village
Vacances Valcartier of the
construction of a 4-star hotel
with an interior waterpark.
This hotel will have 153 suites
available to suit all the needs
of its clientele and is scheduled
to open in December 2016.
Other facilities include a wave
pool, a spa, a lounge-style
sports resto-bar and a
convenience store, are just a
few of the highlights to be
enjoyed 365 days per year. It is
foreseen that 200 permanent
jobs will be created thus
securing our local economic
development.
The extension of the fire hall
is now complete and ready to
house our new firetrucks. Just
a few finishing touches remain.
For road works, our sector to
work on this summer is
Redmond Road starting at
civic number 171 to the
entrance of des Plateaux
Street. The works should be
finished by the end of August
in time for the start of the
new school year.
The Community Golf
Tournament will be back this
year on September 13th for
our 21st edition. It will be held
at the Castor Golf Club as
usual. Our Community
housing residence is now at
full capacity with all 18 units
rented. A second garden has
been made in front to
complement the existing one
at the back. Students from
Vallée Jeunesse have
volunteered to help with the
landscaping and this has been
much appreciated.
Our Community calendar will
be available in December with
the theme being Municipal Fire
Safety Services. One last
thought, road safety should
always be a priority for all
citizens. Remember that we
share our roads with
pedestrians and bikers so keep
this in mind while driving.
Have a peaceful rest of
summer and all the best for a
great autumn!
Brent Montgomery
Don’t forget to turn back your clocks on November 1st.
This is also the perfect occasion to change the batteries in your
smoke detectors.

DÉPÔT DU NOUVEAU RÔLE
D’ÉVALUATION 2016-2017-2018
The assessment roll and you!
Exceptionally, this year, the threeyear assessment roll for the years
2016, 2017, 2018 will be
deposited at the latest on
October 31st, 2015 by the
evaluation firm Groupe Altus.
Public Notice of this deposit will
then be published.
According to the Ministère des
Affaires municipales et de
l’Occupation du territoire
(MAMOT), here are the most
frequently asked questions
regarding municipal property
assessment as well as their
answers.
What is an ASSESSMENT
ROLL?
The assessment roll is a resume of
the inventory of properties
situated on the territory of a local
municipality. Its main use consists
of indicating, for municipal and
school taxation purposes, the
value of every property based on
its real value.
What is the REAL VALUE?
The real value or market value of
a property is its exchange value on
the free and open competitive
market. In other words, it is the
most probable price that a buyer
will accept to pay if the property
were for sale.
WHEN does an assessment
role come into effect?
The assessment roll comes into
effect on the 1st of January of the
first exercise for which it is
prepared.
What is the DURATION of the
roll?
The evaluator prepares the
assessment roll every three years
and for three consecutive financial
exercises.
This means that unless
modifications are made to the
property, its real value registered in
the roll remains the same for the
duration of the roll, being three
years.
Can the assessment roll be
MODIFIED during these 3
years?
At its updating, the assessment roll
may be modified for various
reasons, notably in the cases of
renovation or expansion of a
property.

PORTABLE SPEED DISPLAY
CAUTION—CLARK’S BRIDGE
In order to raise the population’s
awareness of the dangers associated
with speeding, the Municipality has
purchased a portable speed display. This
apparatus will be placed in alternating
locations throughout the territory. The
display unit registers data concerning the
recorded speeds and the Municipality
sends this data to the Sûreté du Québec in order to target and
increase monitoring in areas where speed limits are exceeded.
At the same time, we invite you, dear citizens, to reduce your
speed while driving for the welfare and safety of everyone!
At the beginning of this school year,
the Public Works Department urges
you to be careful when crossing
Clark’s bridge with your vehicle. We
remind you that the new traffic sign
indicates that you should:
«YIELD THE RIGHT-OF-WAY TO
ONCOMING TRAFFIC»
Which means that traffic going South (towards Quebec
City) does not have to stop while traffic going North
(towards Redmond Road) is obliged to yield the way to
oncoming traffic.
Zoning By-law # 148 - 8.2 WINTER SHELTERS, SNOW FENCES AND
WINTER PROTECTION

REMINDER CONCERNING GIANT HOGWEED
This is an invasive plant and contact with its sap combined
with exposure to the sun’s rays can cause skin lesions
similar to burns. To properly identify the plant and to learn
how to dispose of it, please consult:
(www.mddep.gouv.qc.ca).
Please also note that even though the Municipality
occasionally receives reports of the presence of this
invasive plant (it can easily resemble other plants such as
cow parsnip, for example), the territory is not currently
invaded by this species. The vigilance of all to eradicate
Giant Hogweed can only benefit the entire population.
GIANT HOGWEED NOTIFICATION
Communicate with the Municipality
or, call the Ministry of Environment,
Sustainable Development and Parks’
Information Center at
1-800-561-1616.
Take a photo of the plant to help
confirm your observation by the
MDDEP professionals.

BULK WASTE PICKUP
GARBAGE AND RECYCLING CONTAINERS
The weekly collection of non-household
waste (dry materials) is held weekly until the
end of November. Starting the first week of
December and this, for the winter season
(December, January and February), the
collection will take place the first Thursday
of each month. This service functions on a
call-in basis only. Please do not deposit nonhousehold waste in front of containers or
community mailboxes. You must call the
Municipality at 418 844-1218 to request
this service and provide an itemized list of
materials to be picked up or register for the
collection online (www.saint-gabriel-devalcartier.ca) in the “Online Request”
section of the home page.
It is important that these materials be sorted
and organized (ex: carpets rolled and tied,
metal sorted, wire rolled and tied, etc.).
You may dispose of used tires (noncommercial use only) and rims. You may also
dispose of cooking or frying oil in their
original container or in a labeled clear plastic
container.
Please note that vehicle carcasses or frames,
tree and brush debris, household garbage
and leaves as well as recyclable materials will
not be collected during these weekly pick
ups.
You may not dispose of renovation materials
in your regular garbage bin as the waste
management company will not pick up your
garbage. We can pick up a limited amount of
these materials in the non-household waste
weekly pick up. You must first place a
request with Dany Laberge, person
responsible for Public Works. For major
renovations, contact the Municipality to find
out where you can dispose of these
materials.
We would like to remind residents that
large garbage and recycling containers
located on a number of nonmunicipalized streets are there for the
use of residents who do not have door
to door collection for garbage and
recycling. Because they do not have
rolling bins, the Municipality has
installed large garbage and recycling bins
for their use only. When residents who
benefit from door to door collection
use these containers, those with the
right to use them cannot dispose of
their waste since the containers are full.
Please be civil and respectful towards
your fellow citizens and do not use
these containers if they are not meant
for you.
Notice to Sommet Bleu
Development and Domaine
William Neilson residents
To avoid the nuisance of wild animals
getting into your garbage, all household
waste must be deposited inside and not

next to the containers put at your
disposal.
Please note that the garbage
removal company will not pick up
garbage which has been left next to
the containers. If containers are full,
we ask that you please wait until
next collection day.
As for the recycling, you must fold
or cut cardboard boxes before
depositing them in the recycling bins
in order to avoid filling these up too
quickly.
To dispose of dry materials, please
contact the municipal office.
Thank you for your collaboration.
BLUE-GREEN ALGAE
Blue-green algae, also known as
"cyanobacteria", are bacteria that
occur naturally in Quebec bodies of
water. They spread especially in the
summer. When they become too
abundant, blue-green algae form
blooms, which can spread over a part
or the entire body of water. The
water turns green, and its texture
becomes similar to that of paint or
broccoli soup. Scum can also appear
on the surface of water contaminated
by blue-green algae. Generally, it is
when you start to see scum that bluegreen algae can become harmful to
your health.
Health Effects
Some blue-green algae produce a
toxic substance that can result in
health problems. For instance, a
person may experience symptoms of
gastroenteritis or experience
irritation of the skin or throat
after drinking water contaminated
by blue-green algae or after
coming into contact with it.
If you have been in direct contact
with blooms or scum, or have
swallowed water contaminated
with blue-green algae, watch for
the following symptoms: stomach
ache, diarrhea, vomiting, headache,
fever, skin irritation, throat
irritation
If one or several symptoms are
manifested 24 to 48 hours
following contact with
contaminated water, contact InfoSanté 8-1-1 or see your doctor.
State that you have been in direct
contact with blue-green algae or
that you have swallowed water
contaminated by it.

MESSAGE FROM THE SÛRETÉ DU QUÉBEC
Ride with class:
Share the road respectfully!
The Sûreté du Québec, in collaboration with Vélo Québec
and the Fédération québécoise des sports cyclistes (FQSC),
invite sports cyclists, cyclotourists and car drivers to « Ride
with Class » as part of an innovative program that promotes
best practices on the road.
Noting the growing popularity of cycling on the road and
wishing to work proactively in order to prevent an increase
in the number of bicycle victims, the three partners ask road
users across the province to commit to a "code of living".
The FQSC is also confident that the project will be
successful, as stated by Louis Barbeau, General Manager of
the Federation.
“The security of cyclists on the road remains a priority for
the FQSC. We are therefore very happy to partner with this
project in order to help promote responsible practices on
the part of all cyclists, and also drivers! so we are very
pleased to partner in the project to promote a responsible
practice by all cyclists, but also motorists! By recalling in
concrete terms the behaviors to prioritize, this initiative will
undoubtedly contribute to a better coexistence on our
roads."
For Suzanne Lareau, President and Director General of Vélo
Québec, “sports cyclists, who participate in large numbers in
our events, are an important clientele to communicate with
when talking about bike safety and sharing the road.”
Cyclists and drivers interested in learning more about the
“Ride with Class” movement and commit to respecting the
Code of Living can do so by consulting the Website:
www.roulonsavecclasse.com.
Sûreté du Québec

514 598-4848 | www.sq.gouv.qc.ca
RIDE
WITH
CLASS
ON BIKE OR BY CAR, LEAD BY EXAMPLE:
ADOPT A FLAWLESS BEHAVIOUR AND INSPIRE RESPECT IN ALL ROAD USERS!
CODE OF LIVING FOR SPORTS CYCLISTS
1. Remain visible. By day or by night, make sure you are visible (headlights, taillights, reflectors, clothes or accessories with reflective stripes). Use removable
lights for your outings on gloomy days or later in the day.
2. Ride on the right side and keep on course. Predictable and respectful behaviour of traffic regulations allows drivers to adapt their driving and to better predict
their needs for passing other vehicles.
3. Respect red lights and obligatory stop signs. We will never say it enough:
traffic lights and stops signs are for all road users. This is all the more pertinent
when we know that since 2008, 3 collisions out of 4 involving cyclists and causing
victims happened at an intersection or in its vicinity.
4. Ride in small groups. On outings, the more you are, the more difficult it is to
manage the unexpected. Opt for outings with cyclists riding at the same speed in
order to create small consistent groups.
5. Opt to ride on the shoulder of the road. In fact, 90% of collisions happen in
traffic lanes. Whenever possible, opt for the shoulder. You will be safer there.
TIPS FOR DRIVERS
1. Remain alert. Cyclists have the same rights as other road users to ride on the
road. They are not obligated to use cycling paths or the shoulder of the road. Keep
an eye out: many ride on secondary or numbered roads!
2. Signal your intentions. At all times, use your turn signals when making a turn.
Cyclist will be able to adapt their trajectory according to your maneuvers.
3. Avoid honking your horn to signal your presence. The surprise factor could
startle the cyclist and result in a dangerous move.
4. Share the road. In fact, 90% of collisions happen in traffic lanes. Cyclists try to
favor the shoulder whenever possible, but often the roadside is in bad shape or
littered with debris.
5. Perform safe passing maneuvers. When approaching a cyclist, slow down and
leave enough space when passing. The Highway Safety Code forbids you to pass
a cyclist in the same traffic lane if space is limited and states that you may cross
into the other lane on a single or double line in order to perform a safe passing
maneuver.

THE LEUCAN SHAVED HEADS CHALLENGE
$51 500! This is the impressive amount of money that was raised and given to
Leucan on May 30th on the occasion of the 3rd edition of the MRC de La JacquesCartier’s Leucan Shaved Heads Challenge. A total of 55 participants accepted the
challenge to shave in support of children with cancer and their families. Our
Municipality’s firefighters raised an amount of $4 100 and challenge you to
exceed this amount in 2015, since the MRC de La Jacques-Cartier’s Leucan Shaved
Heads Challenge will be held right here in Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier.
A SAFE HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREAT
ROUTE
In order to provide our children with a
safe environment to do their trick-ortreating, Fire Safety Services will be out
patrolling and controlling traffic from
5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Halloween night
(Saturday, October 31st).
The patrolled route is as follows:
Boulevard Valcartier, between Morley
Street and the Dépanneur du Village;
Morley Street; Domaine St-Gabriel;
Place Leduc.
We ask drivers to please be vigilant
along the streets mentioned above and
to travel below the posted speed limit.
We also ask the collaboration of the
people residing along the patrolled
route to please keep their dogs tied
and to turn off their outside lights if
they are unable to participate or when
they can no longer receive trick-ortreaters. Thank you very much for
your cooperation and we hope that

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are the heart of this community. It is
through their dedication and hard work that helps
Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier be as fantastic as it is!
A special thanks to our soccer, softball and Family
Day volunteers. Without you, these programs would
not be the success they are. Thank-you to our
summer employees who also put their hearts and
extra time into their jobs!
Without our volunteers we wouldn’t be able to provide
the high standard and variety of activities that we do.
A special thank you to all our wonderful, talented,
committed and amazing community volunteers. Your
contribution means the world to all those you support.
The time and dedication of all our volunteers is hugely
appreciated by myself and the municipal council.
PAM
BYRON MCBAIN FUND
Mr. Byron McBain was an extraordinary volunteer in our community for well over 30 years. He passed away on September 7th,
2011 following a long battle with cancer, but that fight never slowed him down. He was a volunteer fireman and became Director
for our Fire Safety Services. He was also a great volunteer with his Church. Mr. McBain was the catalyst for many acts of charity
helping to improve the quality of life for his fellow citizens. The Byron McBain fund will serve to promote volunteerism within our
community by offering grants for education to young citizens having volunteered for the Municipality. The fund will also serve to
reward or reimburse Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier citizens having made a gesture of charity or humanitarian aid to their fellow
citizens. This non-profit fund is entirely managed and operated by the Municipality’s Fire Safety Service. To make a donation,
please make your cheque out to the order of Byron McBain Fund and mail to 1743, Boulevard Valcartier, Saint-Gabriel-deValcartier, Quebec, G0A 4S0. VOLUNTEER STUDENTS, DON’T FORGET TO APPLY FOR THE BYRON MCBAIN FUND BURSARY BEFORE OCTOBER

CBJC - PRESS RELEASES
BEGINNING OF DOWNSTREAM MIGRATION OF SMOLT:
HOW NOT TO CONFUSE THEM WITH YOUNG TROUT
AND FOLLOW-UP STUDY BY DONE BY THE
CBJC
As happens every year, from the end of May to the
beginning of July, the smolt (juvenile salmons) regroup to
migrate in the Jacques-Cartier River. After 2 or 3 years in
the river, they take the road to the sea to finish their
growth period; this is what is called downstream migration.
We must remember that Atlantic salmon fishing is strictly
forbidden in this river, as it is in many other salmon rivers
because of the low return of brood stock. In the JacquesCartier River, adult salmon and smolt must therefore be
returned to the water under penalty of the law.
In order to differentiate between smolt and young trout,
which look very much alike, you can refer to the drawings
on this page or to the CBJC’s identification panels located
at some fishing sites along the Jacques-Cartier River.
SALMON MIGRATION AND FISHING ON THE JACQUESCARTIER RIVER
Atlantic
salmon
migration
in
the
JacquesCartier River is well under way. Already, about one
hundred salmon have been transported by the Corporation
du bassin de la Jacques-Cartier (CBJC) in order to allow
them to reach reproduction sites. This transportation is of
great importance to insure the survival of this species in
the river and is a very effective reintroduction effort.
As you probably already know, fishing of Atlantic
salmon is strictly prohibited on the Jacques-Cartier
River: it is not allowed to even try to catch one and
accidental catching of a salmon must be returned to the
water under penalty of the law. It should also be noted
that an important change has just been made by the
Ministère de la Faune, des Forêts et des Parcs. Indeed, since
July 17th, fishing of all species is now prohibited on
the Jacques-Cartier River in the section situated
between the downstream side of the McDougall
dam in Pont-Rouge to the Donnacona dam. Wildlife
officers regularly patrol this sector to ensure compliance
with the new regulations.
CBJC ANNUAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The Corporation du bassin de la Jacques-Cartier (CBJC) annual
General Assembly was held last June 16th. Members were
informed of the Corporation’s different realizations in
2014 and 2015. The Annual Report can be consulted at the
CBJC head office or on-line at www.cbjc.org.
At the meeting, the financial report carried out by the
Accountant firm was presented. In addition, members
were informed of different projects, current and upcoming,
for summer 2015.
To conclude the meeting,
the position of President
and
those
of
six
members
of
the
Executive Board of the Corporation were renewed for the
next year: Claude Sauvé, President; Claude Lessard,
Secretary-Treasurer; Claude Phaneuf, 1st Vice-President;
Michel Beaurivage, wildlife Vice-President; Michel Bertrand,
Vice-President; Pierre Veillet, Vice-president; Danielle
Boutet, Vice-President.
Mr. David Hogan, Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier municipal
councillor was elected as an administrator of the
Corporation.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SPOT CYANOBACTERIA ON LAC SAINTJOSEPH?
Summer is in full swing and the conditions exist to promote
the development of cyanobacteria. In July, already 5 reports
of blooms have been reported to the CBJC team. You
should know that since 2006, Lac Saint-Joseph has been hit
a few times a year by more or less significant blooms of
cyanobacteria for few hours.
What is cyanobacteria? (Refer to article for bluegreen algae on page)
What should I do if I observe a cyanobacteria
bloom?
∗ Do not touch or ingest water containing cyanobacteria.
∗ Take note of the date, time and the precise spot of the
sighting.
∗ Take pictures, if at all possible.
∗ Communicate your observations to the regional office of
the MDDELCC at 418-644-8844, during working hours.
∗ Outside working hours, communicate your observations to
Urgence-Environnement at 1-866-694-5454.
∗ Communicate with
the CBJC at 418875-1120.
