Work begins on STL’s new bus lanes and other improvements
City is anticipating major growth and development in downtown core
MARTIN C. BARRY
Mayor Marc Demers and Laval executive-committee vice-president David De
Cotis, who serves as chairman of the Société
de Transport de Laval, donned hardhats and
worker safety vests on June 10 on Le Corbusier
Blvd. outside the Galeries and Centre Laval
to mark the start of work on new preferential
bus lanes and other infrastructure which are
expected to improve public transit service.
Work at nine sites
Laval plans to spend a total of $38.8 million,
most of it coming from the province, to create
and renovate bike paths, as well as new bus
lanes, in order to contribute to a more environmentally-friendly public transportation system.
The work is taking place at nine sites all over
Laval, including the one on Le Corbusier, which
is closing the central portion of the boulevard
until completion before the year is over.
“This is a major investment,” De Cotis said
in an interview with the Laval News, while
adding that certain portions of the work, such
as those on Le Corbusier, are directly related
to improving access to public transit in an area
where development is expected to start soaring
once the Place Bell amphitheatre complex is
completed late next year.
Greener and friendlier
“What we want to see is a greener and more
environmentally-friendly way of travelling
through public transportation, which is why
we are doing the reserved lanes,” said De Cotis.
“But also we’re creating new bike lanes as well
as new sidewalks to accommodate a different
way of travelling.”
According to De Cotis, the STL and the city
From the left, STL director of development Pierre Lavigueur, Laval executive-committee
vice-president David De Cotis, Mayor Marc Demers and STL director-general Guy Picard.
are leaning towards creating an environment
in Laval’s new downtown that’s mostly pedestrian-friendly. “We want to make it a place
where people can walk,” he said, “to eliminate
the cars and encourage a pedestrian way of life,
a place where people can walk, take the Metro,
sit down, enjoy a snack or a meal, then enjoy a
show at Place Bell. This is a new environment
we’re creating for the citizens of Laval.”
New traffic light system
Besides the special bus lanes, bike paths and
other improvements, the $38.8 million will also
be paying for a new and highly-innovative traffic
light system which the STL and the city claim
will be the first of its kind in Canada.
Based on GPS technology, the system will
communicate automatically with buses and
cause traffic lights to stay green so as to give
public transit priority over other traffic. The STL
has estimated that an average five minutes per
trip will be saved by travellers once the system
is up and working. In terms of public transportation logistics, the system will also greatly
improve the efficiency of buses while helping
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Opinion & Editorial
Canada Day 2016 is a prelude to our 150th birthday
A
s citizens all over this country get ready for the
relaxing long weekend following this year’s Canada
Day which falls on a Friday, we should take stock
of the fact that Canada’s 150th birthday will be taking place
next year, and for that reason we should be preparing for the
biggest patriotic event that many Canadians will experience
for a long time to come.
This past January 1, Canada kicked off more than a new
year. The country began a 366-day countdown to a year-long
celebration. In Ottawa each year, up to 35,000 come out to
Canada Day event on Parliament Hill, sometimes despite
rain and cold when hundreds will don red rain ponchos to
form a sea of crimson symbolizing all Canadians.
In Montreal, meanwhile, hundreds gather in the city’s
downtown to watch the annual Canada Day parade. And
if they aren’t already out celebrating, many others across
Quebec use the holiday to move on July 1, which is the province’s well-known annual moving day.
Letters to the Editor
Vancouver’s SkyTrain in Montreal?
4
• The Laval News • JUNE 22, 2016
On April 22, 2016, the Caisse de depots et placement du
Québec announced a $5.5 billion dollar investment of public
pension funds in an automated transport project known as
the Réseau électrique, métropolitain (REM) of Montreal.
To offset capital costs, Quebec and Canada are expected to
contribute an additional $3 to $4 billion dollars. Cost overruns
are inevitable.
The Caisse plans to use our savings to build 67 kilometers of
rail lines stretching from Brossard, to Deux Montagnes, with
a branch to Trudeau Airport, branching again along the 40,
to Fairview Pointe Claire shopping center and Sainte-Anne
de Bellevue.
This is an unwise investment of public capital for reasons
of cost, impact and utility.
Costs: A light metropolitan railway of the SkyTrain/REM
type involves a concrete based, often elevated structure, sometimes entubed, that is incompatible with any existing railway
mode in Montreal.
A Light Rail Transit line (LRT) has greater flexibility within
reserved rights-of-way. Higher capacity LRTs and TramTrains
are far more efficient in terms of construction, operating and
maintenance costs.
Here is a cost/benefit analysis: The operating costs of
Calgary’s 2006 LRT is 27 cents per passenger versus $3.92
per traveler for Vancouver’s 2013 SkyTrain.
The Caisse’s decision means Quebeckers will be paying 10
times as much for a less efficient system.
Calgary’s LRT costs $15 million per kilometer to build versus
Vancouver’s $86.9 million per kilometer. Building an REM is
at least 5 times as expensive. Toronto’s airport shuttle Union
Pearson Express (UPEX) was promoted, just like Montreal’s
REM, as a profitable concern. It has failed miserably. Since
UPEX cannot break even, taxpayers pay an additional $46
dollars per individual rider. The Ontario government has
cut the fare structure; but even under this condition, higher
volume simply means greater cost for the public purse.
Depreciation: While we are dismantling the Turcot
Interchange, we will be elevating other heavy concrete structures for rails. Will steel netting and permanent scaffolding
be commonplace here, once the REM starts to show its age,
like the old Turcot structures?
Tunnel safety under Mount Royal is another problem that
requires a separate discussion.

Yet, the Caisse has sworn to turn a profit, counting partially
by selling excess expropriated land for new buildings along
the line. More likely, properties nearby will be built up long
before the Caisse’s land unless its prices are competitive and
discounted. The route is a gift to real estate speculators
through the West Island and elsewhere. Speculation will
mean more sprawl and necessary expropriation will imperil
heritage buildings.
The line will also threaten: Farmland, the Sources Road
Watershed and natural spaces as Saraguay Woods and the
Bois de Liesse. It will fragment the meadows and woods at
l’Anse à l’Orme.
This expensive, proprietary technology will offer few stations
and huge parking lots. All of these issues represent improvised
planning and substantial costs for taxpayers.
The REM is not inclusive or equitable. It segregates areas
of the urban territory, playing east off against west. It does
not integrate with existing systems. As with Boston’s Big
Dig, the huge cost of the REM will delay any other transit
projects for years.
Finally, utility: Travel time to the airport from downtown
will be far longer. The airport connection to the shorter
Vaudreuil-Hudson line is 15 minutes faster. NDG and Lachine
are excluded. There are no stations foreseen for Lakeshore
Hospital, nor for John Abbott - McDonald Colleges. The West
Island will not have better access to McGill Super Hospital or
schools in NDG, Westmount or Montreal West. The VaudreuilHudson line will atrophy as it competes with the new REM
line. Rail freight service along the Doney Spur will disappear
meaning more trucks on roads. Cohabitation of different
technologies is unlikely, such as loading gauges, track sizes,
complex switching and electrical systems. The relatively new
Deux Montagnes line will be retired before its time. The Train de L’Est will be truncated and the expected diversion of AMT’s Saint Jerome line to Central Station will not
be built. Future Higher Speed Trains would not be able to
use the Mount Royal Tunnel. Lastly, the REM will offer poor
connections with the Metro. This plan is improvised and represents a high risk for taxpayers. We should not allow the Caisse to determine the future
of urban mass transit while Quebec shirks its responsibility
and authority. The informed public needs to have real input.

What’s known so far of Ottawa’s preparations for the big
celebration next year is that the federal government has allotted at least $210 million, much of which will be spent on grants
to organizations and possibly also individuals wishing to put
together 150th anniversary celebration projects. What’s also
known is that in the period leading up to the anniversary, the
government commissioned graphic artists to create a logo
and print font which are being made available free of cost.
Canadians and Americans differ greatly in how they celebrate their patriotism. From this perhaps we can learn from
the way things are done in the U.S.A. There they revere their
founding fathers even while acknowledging that some, such as
Thomas Jefferson, owned slaves. And yet, unlike Canadians,
Americans have no trouble speaking openly about their sometimes troubled history, because they know that the founding
principles were good and became the basis to build a country
where freedom is the most esteemed value.
Canadians, pragmatic to the end, have a much harder time
reconciling such seemingly contradictory thoughts. Whereas
in the U.S. rich and poor alike have always generally agreed
they are equals – since the Declaration of Independence says
so in almost poetic language – we in Canada have never done
things the same way. The documents which form the basis of
Canada’s constitution – the 1867 British North America Act
and the 1982 Constitution Act – are bone dry legal papers
which reflect our dull and staid character.
Of course, one thing Canada has little to be proud of this
Canada Day is that for the first time in the past 46 years no
NHL team from this country made it into the playoffs for
the Stanley Cup. As well for the 22nd consecutive year, NHL
commissioner Gary Bettman presented the Holy Grail of
hockey to the captain of a U.S.-based team: the Pittsburg
Penguins.
It’s a pretty tragic state for our country to be in, considering
that Canada has always staked claim to having invented hockey.
Sad to say that all seven Canadian-based NHL teams were
eliminated from the playoffs. All the more unfortunate when
you consider that the Stanley Cup is named after Canada’s
sixth Governor General, Lord Stanley of Preston.
Be that as it may, July 1 in Canada should always be a day
to celebrate. In the Montreal area, some of the best Canada
Day parties take place within Newsfirst Multimedia’s areas of
distribution, including the City of Deux-Montagnes’ all-day
celebration which starts in the morning with a parade up the
main street and continues late into the evening with joyful,
exhilarating music and a massive fireworks display.
So on Canada Day 2016, we invite you to wrap yourself in
the Canadian flag and thank your maple leafs that our country
was born, quite uncharacteristically, in the searing heat of a
Canadian summer when our national holiday can actually
be enjoyed, rather than in the shivering cold of a typically
Canadian winter, which might have been more fitting but
would probably have drawn smaller crowds. Here’s to Canada
– land of strong beer, perpetual political uncertainty, warm
woolen tuques, and a national public health care system that
many complain about but that keeps muddling along.

(TLN) On June 13, Laval Liberal MNA for Laval-des-Rapides Saul Polo took part in a
federal/provincial/territorial meeting in Ottawa to discuss economic development issues.
According to a statement issued by Polo’s office, ministers from the three levels of government gathered for the meeting for the first time in a dozen years to discuss ways to stimulate
the economy and create well-paying employment for the middle-class across Canada.
“It was a real honor for me to take part in this meeting on behalf of Minister Anglade,” said
Polo, referring to Dominique Anglade who is Minister of Economy, Science and Innovation
in the Liberal cabinet. “This was a meeting of great importance because it brought together
the major players of economic development and innovation while seeking to build cooperation between them,” he added.

Early opening of swimming pools
To cool off during the summer the city provides
public wading pools, water parks and swimming
pools in numerous Laval parks. This year some
pools have opened earlier than the school year end.
The preseason schedule of activities began from
the 18th and till the 23rd of June will operate at
the following parks; swimming pools and wading
pools of Du Moulin, Saint Vincent, Saint-Claude,
Pius X, Couvrette, Roi-du-Nord and Willows will
operate on Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 am
to 8:00 pm as well as Mondays to Fridays from
3:00pm to 8:00 pm.
Water games facilities were also opened from
the 13th of June and till the 26th the St. Vincent,
Gabriel Pelletier, Rosaire-Gauthier, Saint-Claude,
des Coccinelles, Champfleury, Marc-Aurèle-Fortin
and Paradis are available every day from 10:00 am
to 5:00 pm. After that date all parks are open and
the summer schedule is in force
Construction Work continues in
Samson and Saint-François arenas
Major renovations are ongoing at the Samson
and St. Francis ice rinks. The long awaited refurbishments are expected to be completed by
December 2016. To ensure that local sports associations and the general public are not deprived
of ice time during this period, an amount of $
200,000 has been budgeted for 2016. The money
will allow for the rental of eight hundred hours of
ice time in private and adjacent municipal arenas in
order to compensate for lost hours resulting from
the temporary closure of the two Laval arenas. In another related matter the executive committee
has approved the issuance of a grant of $ 45,000 to
the Hockey Laval sport association to help fund the
renting of ice time at Guimond Sports Complex
for the 2015-2016 season. The administration is
reassuring local sport authorities that all inconveniences are temporary in nature as the scheduled
opening of the Place Bell complex in the fall of 2017
will add two new rinks in Laval’s inventory greatly
improving access to ice time in Laval.
The remarkable trees of Laval
The Executive Committee agreed to provide
funding of $ 15,000 to the Regional Environmental
Council of Laval for the printing and publication of
the book “Remarkable Trees of Laval”. The publication marks the 20th anniversary of the organization
and the 12th Canadian Conference on urban forest.
Laval is host of the 2016 conference which lasts
four days. More than three hundred participants
are expected to attend. Foresters, urban planners,
policy makers and specialists in the environment
arriving from across Canada will take part in training workshops.
Discussions will center on the benefits and
features of urban forests, new strategies and
promote techniques aimed at preserving and
managing the urban forests in our country.
The Regional Council of the Environment (CRE)
of Laval was founded in January 1996 by citizens
and environmental organizations in the region. Its
mission is to improve the quality of the environment and promote sustainable development.
Happy
Fête nationale
du Québec !

Laval to hold big Fête nationale show
Friday June 24, at Centre de la nature
Martine St-Clair, les BB, Dead Obies will perform on outdoor stage
MARTIN C. BARRY
The City of Laval is pulling out all the stops to make sure this
year’s local Fête nationale du Québec celebration is one that will
be remembered for its musical diversity. Entertainment headliners
who’ll be taking part in the show at 9 pm on June 24 at Laval’s
Centre de la Nature (although you can show up as early as six)
include the sensational Martine St-Clair, whose 1984 hit, ‘Il y a de
l’amour dans l’air,’ still resonates powerfully with older music fans.
Céline Dion tribute
Among others on the bill will be legendary Québécois folk singer
Richard Séguin (who’s been performing since the late 1960s when
he and his twin sister, Marie-Claire, sang as Les Séguin), Patrick
Watson, the post-rap Dead Obies and les BB.
As an added incentive to come out and enjoy a free show that’s
sure to generate enthusiastic cheers, some of the performers have
agreed to pay homage to the career of superstar singer Céline Dion
by doing a few of her numbers while they’re on stage.
Representative talent
St-Clair, who was on hand at the Salle André-Mathieu last week
where the City of Laval announced the lineup, said in an interview
with the Laval News that she was impressed with the representative selection of performers chosen for this once-a-year celebration
of Quebec heritage and culture. “I think it’s exceptional to bring
together like this various performers from different backgrounds,
from various styles – rock, soul, English, French – to celebrate one
thing, which is music, through the hearts of people,” she said. “I
think this is great, and as an invited guest I am very, very pleased
to be able to be part of this in Laval.”
A great outdoor venue
Without revealing too much, St-Clair said she’ll be performing
at least one of her many hits during her gig, as well as something
she called a “groove medley” paying homage to the composing/
songwriting talents of Luc Plamondon. It’s worth noting that
Plamondon launched St-Clair’s career back in 1980 when he
cast her in his hit stage musical Starmania.
“I am absolutely certain that we are going to make as big a
success of this year’s event as was last year’s Fête nationale in
Laval when everyone is at the Centre de la nature,” said Mayor
Marc Demers. “I am often told that it is the best place in the
province for staging outdoor shows, and I say again that I am
proud of this,” he added.
Fireworks also on the agenda
Demers also pointed out that Fête nationale activities will
also be taking place in Laval’s districts all day long, although
the big party is at the Centre de la nature. Following the 9 pm
show, there’ll be a big fireworks display. “It’s going to be a big
evening to show the pride of a people and a nation and all the
members of our community are invited,” he said.
According to Laval executive-committee vice-president David ‘It’s going to be a big evening to show the pride of a people
De Cotis, 50,000 people turned out for last year’s Fête nationale and a nation,’ says Mayor Marc Demers seen here during his
celebration and the city anticipates there will be even more this announcement of the city’s Fête nationale festivities with

The square, in front of which stands an impressive and electronically-activated water fountain, was
completed at a cost of more than $1.5 million
MARTIN C. BARRY
Laval mayor Marc Demers was joined by
city councillors and representatives of local
provincial and federal elected officials outside
city hall on June 9 for the official inauguration
of a new public square and fountain which had
been announced last year as part of the city’s
50th anniversary celebrations.
A place for people
“In rediscovering its dignity, Laval city hall
invites residents to meet here in order to participate in the life of their city,” Demers told more
than 100 guests who had been asked to attend
the by-invitation early evening event. “This is
the place where municipal democracy takes
place,” he added, “and it is also the place where
visitors from other cities in Quebec and from
elsewhere are welcomed. The citizens can be
proud of this place.”
The square, in front of which stands an
impressive and electronically-activated water
fountain, was completed at a cost of more than
$1.5 million. It is seen by city officials as complementing the modernistic architecture of Laval
city hall which was completed in 1964 around
a year before the City of Laval was created from
the merger of villages and towns on Île Jésus. It
was originally intended that the building would
serve as the civic centre for the former City of
Chomedey.

noted that the modernism of city hall matched
the spirit of the times in the early 1960s when
Quebec’s Quiet Revolution was underway and
there was a certain amount of determination
by the public and those representing them to
forge ahead into the future while putting the
past behind.

called “brutalism,” so-named because of its use

Other examples of modernism
Laval city hall is just one example of architecturally modern buildings constructed here
during the 1960s and 1970s. Others include
Laval’s spectacularly avant-garde Cité de la

in Vimont, a stunning five-storey all-concrete
apartment block on Samson Blvd. in SainteDorothée, and an industrially-modernistic
Banque Laurentienne bank branch at the corner
de la Concorde and des Laurentides boulevards
in Pont Viau.
It’s worth noting that, politically speaking,
not everyone at Laval city hall was entirely
pleased by the inauguration of the new fountain and square. Last week, representatives of
Action Laval and the Parti Laval both issued
statements saying they decided not to attend
the inauguration because of uncertainties over
the sources of funding for the project.

MARTIN C. BARRY
Representatives of sports and recreation
organizations from all over Laval who took part
in a consultation to determine a new municipal
action plan for the physical fitness of residents
joined officials of the city on June 10 for the
unveiling of the new policy.
A positive impact
“Laval residents will be happy to learn that
the planned actions will have an important
impact on their lifestyles which we hope to
improve, and this for all ages, for men, women,
children and handicapped persons,” said executive-committee vice-president David De Cotis
who helped oversee development of the policy.
Two major components of the new policy will
be the construction of a new aquatic complex
that the City of Laval recently announced, as
well as Laval’s plans to host the 2020 Jeux du
Québec as also recently announced by the city.
New policy’s aspects
Some other aspects of the new policy include
overall improved access by residents to multidisciplinary sports equipment, improving the
quality and availability of bike paths, improving
partnerships between the city and school boards
for sharing sports and recreation facilities, and
developing better rapport with volunteers who
can provide valuable support for local sports
and recreation activities and groups.
A new Council on Physical Activity, which
will be made up of members from the various
sports and recreation and community organizations, will be chaired by De Cotis. According to
the city, a list of those sitting on the committee
will be released in the autumn.
Taking necessary action
“This is a new program that’s been initiated by
the city,” De Cotis said in an interview with the
Laval News. “It was put on hold in the past, but
we worked with our partners who contributed
voluntarily to put together a program for the
physical activities of the citizens of Laval. We
are after all the third-most important city in the
province of Quebec, so it was important for us
to say that the City of Laval is taking the necessary action to improve the lives of its citizens.
“It’s a big initiative to have our citizens be
pro-active and in better physical shape,” he
added. “It was a collaborative effort with our
partners in the community. We wanted them
to participate. It’s not for the city to just impose
what we thought might be the best policy for
physical fitness. It creates a nice momentum in
terms of support we receive from them.”

by QLP youth commission
Calls him an ‘ambassador’ for young people’s ideas

Mayor project to cost nearly $57 million
(TLN) Mayor Marc Demers confirmed
during the Mérite sportif awards evening last
week that the City of Laval will be going ahead
with the construction of an aquatics complex
somewhere in the area of the Cosmodôme on
Terry Fox Avenue.
“I am very happy to announce that Laval
will invest nearly $57 million,” he said. “This
equipment will furnish to an elite a training
facility of the first order. It will attract to Laval
major pan-Canadian sports competitions. Of
course, the pools will also be accessible to the
general public, which will make this complex an
attractive recreational place that Laval families
which be able to enjoy.
Specifications revealed
“The building will take up an area of 11,400
square metres and will have three pools large
enough to take in 875 swimmers and up to 1,200
spectators,” he continued. “The potential attraction of this unique equipment in the region will
strongly stimulate the recreational and touristic
sector in Laval by generating major economic
spinoffs.”
According to the city, Laval has put aside
$56.8 million for the project which is scheduled
at this point to open in 2020. It will be situated
in an area of Laval near the Centropolis where
there already are a number of facilities devote
to sports, science and culture and where the
transportation services are good.
(TLN) The Quebec Liberal Party’s Youth
Commission issued a statement on June 10 in
which they congratulated and thanked SainteRose Liberal MNA Jean Habel for tabling a bill
modifying Quebec’s legislation for the governance of state enterprises.
According to the youth commission, the
National Assembly’s youngest MNA is acting
as an ambassador for Quebec’s youth while
tabling a bill it says will expand the influence
of young people in public governance.
The bill calls for more young people to be
included on the administrative councils of
the province’s professional orders. The youth
commission said it had been lobbying for
several years for the change.
According to a 2013 survey cited by the
commission, less than 1 per cent of the seats at
22 provincially-controlled companies had board
members who were less than 35 years old. “Jean
Habel is the very example of the importance of
youths being politically-involved,” the president
of the commission, Jonathan Marleau, said in
a statement. “Not only does he bring a new
voice and new perspectives to the [National
Assembly], but he also proves that he can carry
those of Quebec youth to the legislators.”

Quebec gives Laval $400,000 to help settle new immigrants
Select organizations to submit project bids in coming weeks
MARTIN C. BARRY
Under the terms of a new agreement signed
last week by Laval mayor Marc Demers and
Quebec Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil,
the city will be receiving $400,000 from the
province up to the end of March next year to
help welcome and integrate new immigrants
settling in Laval.
Carrefour,” Savides said, referring to the fact she
took the minister on a tour of the Carrefour’s
offices on Curé-Labelle Blvd. following the
announcement.
According the 2011 census completed by
Statistics Canada, the City of Laval has 96,645
inhabitants who are immigrants, representing
an 85 per cent increase since 2001. In 2011,
approximately one Laval resident out of four
was an immigrant, making Laval the second city
in the province with such a high concentration
of immigrants after Montreal.
Significant announcement
A large number of Laval city councillors and
most of the Liberal MNAs who represent Laval
were on hand at city hall on June 14 for the
announcement made by the mayor, the immigration minister and Mille-Îles Liberal MNA
Francine Charbonneau who is special minister
for the Laval region in the Liberal cabinet.
According to a joint press release issued
by Laval and Quebec, the agreement’s goals
are to encourage diversity and intercultural
dialogue in order to facilitate the integration
of immigrants, while assuring they become full
participants in Quebec society with proficiency
in the French language.
“The efforts made on the territory of Laval
over the past few years have reinforced the
attraction of the City of Laval to immigrants,
whether in terms of welcome, integration,
employment assistance or initiatives aimed at
making the community even more welcoming
and inclusive,” said Weil.

• The Laval News • JUNE 22, 2016
“The signing of this agreement with the
‘Efforts made on the territory of Laval over the past few years have reinforced the attraction of the City of Laval to immigrants,’ says Quebec Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil
ministry is part of the extension of this important work mobilizing and coordinating in order
to facilitate the lasting establishment of immigrants in Laval and their full participation
in French in its economic activity and social
enrichment,” she added.
Regarding the agreement, Charbonneau, who
is also Minister for Senior Citizens and who is
responsible for the anti-intimidation ministry
portfolio, said it will “facilitate harmonious
and lasting integration of persons wishing to
contribute to Laval’s dynamics from every point
of view. As well, by welcoming and favoring the
active participation of immigrants in our region
we are contributing to a collective enrichment.”
Mayor Demers said the future of the city will
increasingly depend on its ability not just to
welcome new immigrants, but to hold onto
them after they’re here. “The sums we invest
annually reflect our commitment to recognize
and promote diversity as collective wealth, but
also teach us to live more comfortably together,
while creating true social cohesion,” he said.
Support pleases groups
Danae Savides, executive director of the
Carrefour d’intercultures de Laval which was
one of several groups invited to be present for
the announcement, said they welcomed the
additional support for the integration of immigrants coming from the provincial government.
“The Carrefour d’intercultures de Laval
(CIL) is proud to receive Minister Weil in its
offices in order to dialogue with her on the

Arriving Syrian refugees
The provincial immigration ministry says that
as of the beginning of June, Laval has welcomed
more than 1,000 Syrian refugees, of whom more
than 900 were sponsored privately and nearly
100 had the support of the government. The
ministry also says that terms of the new agreement have allowed the Carrefour d’intercultures
de Laval to hire two liaison officers to assist with
the influx of refugees.
The City of Laval says that the funding
obtained through the agreement will be going
towards certain “partner” groups in Laval to
help them fulfill their tasks, including fighting
against prejudice, discrimination, intimidation,
racism or while providing direct assistance to
refugees. According to the city, a call for tenders
will be made in the coming weeks in order to
choose ideas for qualifying projects submitted
by the groups.

Canada 150 Community
Infrastructure Program (CIP 150) perform on Fête nationale show
Deadline for proposals is July 8th, 2016
In its budget tabled last March, the
Government of Canada announced that an
additional $150 million will be available over
two years to Regional Development Agencies
(RDAs) in the second phase of the CIP 150.
The purpose of the funding will be to support,
as part of Canada’s 150th anniversary, the
renovation, expansion or improvement of
community and recreational infrastructure,
and will contribute to the achievement of
two new priorities: a clean growth economy
and a better future for Indigenous peoples.
For Quebec, the budget envelope for
phase 2 of the CIP 150 will be $31.2 million.
Funding will align with the CED’s mandate
to ensure long-term economic development
in the Quebec regions. Prioritized projects
should have a positive impact on the environment and on Indigenous communities. In
accordance with the new eligibility criteria,
the new call for proposals will be in effect
from June 1st to July 8, 2016. For more information, please visit CED’s website.
The investments made will rehabilitate
and improve community and recreational
infrastructure across Quebec. They will
help to create jobs, stimulate the economy,
strengthen communities and celebrate
Canada’s rich history and heritage.
Quick facts
The goal of the CIP 150 is to support
community organizations, municipalities,
band councils and Indigenous administrations across Quebec that give citizens access
to infrastructure that promotes community
vibrancy and vitality.
The CIP 150’s second call for proposals focuses on two priorities: community
infrastructure projects that have a positive
environmental impact or seek to improve
green spaces, and those that have a positive
impact on Indigenous communities.
The analysis of projects in the program
will be based on the speed of their implementation, the participation of other donors,
and the sustainability of the infrastructure.
The Government of Canada intends to make
infrastructure the driver behind the country’s
economic growth. Also, by supporting infrastructure, the government is contributing to
the vitality and buoyancy of the communities
in all regions. This is a major legacy as we
head toward Canada’s 150th anniversary.
This Friday at the Fête nationale festivities at the Centre de la nature, students of College
Letendre will perform their production «Tout en Québec». This original production will be
directed by their school’s musical director and creator of the production Stéphane Héroux.
The show will feature a musical pieces from all the best that has to offer Québec’s music
scene. The 42 students musicians and performers have been practicing throughout their
school year. A performance not to be missed.

Agape celebrates 20th year at its Notre Dame Blvd.
‘This organization that Betty and the other volunteers have created has become
a family,’ former Laval MP Raymonde Folco tells gathered guests
MARTIN C. BARRY
Agape, the Chomedey-based charity known
for its fierce determination to help the needy
while promoting access to English-language
health services in Laval, last week celebrated
the 20th anniversary of the day in 1995 when it
first opened in a former fish market on Notre
Dame Boulevard.
An evening not to be missed
Supporters gathered at the Agape daycare
on June 11 to mark the occasion. The evening included the celebration of a Holy Mass of
Thanksgiving by former Holy Name of Jesus
parish pastor Fr. Peter Sabbath, followed by a
buffet style supper with beer and wine, a few
words from Agape’s president, and finally a
social evening with music and entertainment.
One of Agape’s most faithful supporters,
Chomedey Liberal MNA Guy Ouellette,
dropped by with his wife to spend some time,
in spite of the fact he had to attend another
function that night. Addressing the crowd, he
referred to Agape as “one of the few resources that we have in Laval in the anglophone

community. I have called it a jewel before and
when you have a jewel you take care of it.”
“This has been a place of laughter, tears,
passion,” said Fr. Sabbath. “If I were just to
describe Agape, to me it would be as a great
instrument of mercy not only in this Year of
Mercy, but also in the many years of its existence. We’re all very grateful.”
Chomedey MNA Guy Ouellette, right, presented Agape cofounder Cliffeline Young with a framed citation praising the
group’s work.
Mulcair’s help instrumental
Describing the events leading up to Agape’s
taking up residence at its permanent address,
treasurer Elizabeth McLeod recounted how
they were initially rebuffed by elected officials
from the municipal, provincial and federal
governments. However, they received support
from future MNA and NDP leader Thomas
Mulcair before he went on to be elected to the
Quebec National Assembly.
McLeod recalled the treatment they got when
they went to see former Laval West Liberal MP
Michel Dupuy, whose political attaché, she said,
told her and other Agape supporters, including
Mulcair, “You walk in here as if you were in a
bakery.” According to McLeod, Mulcair told the
attaché that, with or without him, Agape would
open. “And three months later we opened,”
McLeod said.
Mind you, since the venue that became available to Agape was a former fish store which had
been closed for a year-and-a-half, “the stench
was unbelievable,” she continued, “and being
the fancy little girl that I am, I said wait Cliffe,
we’re not coming here.” But Agape co-founder
Cliffeline Young had other ideas and tried to
persuade McLeod that 3952 Notre Dame Blvd.
in Chomedey was indeed the right place.
First opened on June 29
Thus it was that on June 15, 1995, Elizabeth,
Cliffeline and other Agape supporters got on
their knees and prayed for guidance. Then on
June 29, they finally opened and held a large
press conference which was well-attended.
Among Agape’s first supporters, she added,
was The Laval News.
McLeod gave credit to former Liberal MP
for Laval-Les Îles Raymonde Folco for helping
Agape obtain a federal subsidy that allowed
the organization in 2002 to acquire ownership of the building it had been leasing until
then. Folco, who has been out of politics since
2011, described McLeod as someone who is so
tenacious when pursuing a goal that it becomes
easier for someone being lobbied to say yes.
“One thing that we hardly ever mention about
Agape is the fact that this organization that
Betty and the other volunteers have created
has become a family,” Folco said. “And it’s a
wonderful thing that all the people of different
ages have got together and are helping other
newcomers who are coming into Laval, whether
their language is English, French, Arabic, whatever. It doesn’t matter. They are helping and in
doing so they are helping themselves.”
ATOMIC RESTAURANT - NEW ERA
1994: Demetrios Tsekeris opens his restaurant ATOMIC in the heart of Chomedey.
Since then it has become the best eaterie for
those who appreciate real quality food.
The Tsekeris Family: Peter, Eugenia, Demetrios and Kathy Tsekeris and son Demetrios Jr.
SYLVIA PETRIDIS
“I love this place, my family and I made
it what it is today, it is a piece of me,
you understand?’’ he looks straight into
my eyes and I felt his stare going right
through me. He mentioned nothing,
and yet he said it all. Mr. Demetrios
Tsekeris, sits in a straw chair across from
me and his eyes are brightly shining
with emotion going down the memory
lane of all these 22 years as the Atomic
Restaurant’s proud owner.
“In 1994, I made a big decision purchasing this restaurant’’ and as he talks he
caresses lovingly a set of utensils lazily
laying on the wooden table. “I have always
wanted to cook for my family, my friends,
my beloved ones, for everybody. The only
thing I wanted in return was their sincere
smile of satisfaction and fulfillment. Every
time I was looking in the kitchen, seeing my
son Jimmy cooking, or Eugenia, my little
girl, my pride and joy, strolling around the
store welcoming our loyal costumers, I felt
like the happiest man in the world. I never
minded about neither the identity nor the
nationality of my costumers. The only thing
I cared for was their absolut contentment.
I wanted them to have a marvelous experience, fully enjoying themselves and leaving
my place with a smile that spoke volumes
of satisfaction. Besides, if you really think
about it, the true meaning of life lies in the
everyday details, and in the small moments
that makes it actually worth living for.”
I found myself staring at him as he was
reminiscing, realizing his genuine happiness. I thought of asking him about the
future when he suddenly turns towards me
and quite politely, as if he had clearly read
my mind, said “…now it is their turn to pick
up where I left off. Elias and Sotiris are two
wonderful, hard-working people. I know
deep in my heart they will not only treat
this place with respect, but I am absolutely
certain they will take it to another level.”
At this point I realize how emotional
and proud at the same time he really
is. He is gazing far away and I sense his
subtle uneasiness. I gather my courage
and I ask him what is troubling him. “…
the only thing I wish with all my heart is
for people to give to Elias and to Sotiris
the same respect, love and support they

have been giving to me and to my family
through all these years. There is nothing
I want more, than to see them in here, as
happy as I was all these years. I will tell you
one thing, there is no better recipe than
love, happiness and a home like atmosphere. I wholeheartedly trust Elias and
Sotiris, I know they will make me proud.
Besides, would I ever let anyone I did not
trust handle “my baby,”? This restaurant is
SAVE MONEY
my life’s work, and I know I am leaving it
in good hands.
Demetrios Tsekeris has said it all. The
only thing left to add is to wish to the
new Atomic restaurant owners Elias
Rapatsouleas, and Sotiris Argiris the very
best and to promise them our support.

In Silent Service
I started seeing this guy eight months ago.
Despite numerous arguments we care for each
other deeply. He has become my best friend. He’s
100 percent reliable and always listens to what
I say.
His bad points are he is impatient, moody and
has high expectations of me. If I disappoint him,
he becomes irate and broods in silence, but he
never screams at me or unloads his anger.
We are going out in private for a number
of reasons. We come from the same ethnic
community. Once we publicly expose our relationship, it will become much more serious. I
know we aren’t ready for this. Also, one of his
friends pursued me for two years.
Nothing beyond friendship eventuated, but
my boyfriend carries enormous guilt over this.
He feels he betrayed his friend, yet he can’t let
go of me. He broke up with me a month ago
because I chucked one too many tantrums. He
said he couldn’t handle it anymore. I accepted

First annual Music Festival and BBQ at Jules Verne Elementary
MARTIN C. BARRY
Since school will soon be over for
the summer, the time seemed perfect
last week for a year-end outdoor party
at Jules Verne Elementary School in
Pont-Viau to finish the academic year
properly.
Fun for families
On June 15, the kids and parents
from the school held their first-ever
community BBQ/Music Festival event
in the school yard. Organized in association with the Jules Verne Home and
School Association, it gathered together
600 friends and family members for
food, fun and of course music.
Amanda Freitas Pereira, the school
music teacher, spent weeks preparing
the students for their performances and
all agreed they were fantastic. The BBQ,
which preceded the music festival, took
place without a hitch thanks in large
Hamburgers were on the menu.
part to the numerous volunteers and
donations that the Home and School
Association was able to put together.
Helpful sponsors
A&W Carrefour Laval came
through with hamburgers and plates
to serve them on, while Piccola Gioia
Catering provided the BBQ. They
were two of the main sponsors who
helped make the event a success.
City councillor Paulo Galati, as
well as Dan-Michaël Abécassis,
political attaché to Laval-desRapides MNA Saul Polo, were also
on hand to partake in the event.
Jules Verne Elementary has less
than 250 students, but is considered
to be one of the few truly bilingual
schools in the Laval area. “This
is a great community at a smaller
school,” said Galati who was there
not only as a SWLSB commissioner
but also as a Laval city councillor.
“In my territory as a commissioner
I have four incredible elementary
schools. This is the smallest one, but
the parent participation here is just
incredible,” he added.
Jules Verne Elementary School children perform during their first annual Music Festival and BBQ event held in the
yard on the afternoon of June 15.
SWLSB commissioner Paolo Galati, centre, is seen here with parents and staff from Jules Verne Elementary School during the
first annual Music Festival and BBQ.

HOW TO PLAY :
SAGITTARIUS
Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You
already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers
1 through 9 in the same line, column, or 3x3 box.
If love has been absent from your

with your partner in order to make
things clear.
Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3
box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.
You show lots of initiative with your
employer or your loved one. You
manage to take charge of things
brilliantly and this earns you a lot
of respect.
AQUARIUS
Your new lover gives you a fairly serious commitment. You may consider living together or starting a family. You are also very imaginative

Campaign Delivers
Poignant Message
June 8 – During several hours at the intersection of Boulevards
St-Martin and des Laurentides, Laval police officers, firefighters, and Urgences Santé paramedics took part in an awareness
campaign aimed at slowing down speeding drivers.
A total of 81 motorists were pulled over by police for exceeding the speed limit, but rather than receiving a ticket for their
offense, the drivers were given reminders about road safety
and the hazards of speeding, and then directed to the scene of
a recreated car crash where firefighters demonstrated some of
the techniques they use to help injured victims.
The speeding drivers also had the chance to meet and listen
to the stories of two men who had fallen victim to speeding and
suffered physical and mental wounds that forever changed their
lives and the lives of their families.

Nicolas Steresco has been in a wheel-chair since his motorcycle
accident in 1998. He was 25 years old when it happened. This was
the fifth time he participated in the campaign to promote road
safety, in an effort to sensitize people to the reality of the danger
of speeding. Gabriel Duguay was 36 years old in 2010 when his
car hit a moose at high speed. He doesn’t remember the accident
that left him with physical and cognitive disabilities including
vision problems, epilepsy, chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, and
more. Both men were victims of excessive speed.
In 2015, there were 9 fatal accidents on Laval roads, almost
double the average of 5 per year during the past 5 years.

In Laval, on May 22, 2016, Robert Attar passed away. Beloved husband of Ioanna Chryssanthou; dear father of Etienne (Marie- Michelle
de Châteauneuf), George (Elizabeth Pye) and Maryse (Walter Celin);
cherished grandfather of Karina, Sébastien, William, Alex, Jason,
Monica, and Angela; and great- grandfather of Amelia and Matthew.
He will also be sadly missed by other family and friends.
CONSTANTIN, Ronald John
1947 - 2016
Ronald John Constantin teed off on October 1, 1947. He learned
to walk the course with Cecilia Kozlowska (mother) and Theodore
Constantin (father). Playing alongside Joyce (sister) and Tim (brother),
the threesome polished its game while growing up in Verdun and
LaSalle. Hitting his share of fairways, Ron graduated from Loyola University in chemistry
and took his first professional swings while at Kraft Foods. That is also where he met the
one who would become his lifelong caddie, Mireille Desilets (wife). “Behind every great
shot is a good club selection” - Mireille and Ron tackled the tricky greens together for
over 40 years. Ron had birdies at 33 and 35, welcoming Jeffrey Michael (son) and Jennifer
Lyne (daughter). The foursome had a wonderful streak while living in Sainte-Dorothée,
Laval, welcoming in their midst Rita Angelo (daughter-in-law). When the younger generation joined the tour, Lucas and Mathis (grandsons) re-energized Ron with his love of the
game. Ron lived his life like he played golf; always looking to improve his game while
never worrying too much about the score. He knew you could shoot a 6, which felt like a
3 and mark down a 3 that felt like a 6. The people in his life were what really mattered to
him. He walked off the course on Monday, May 23, 2016, as a true champion cherished
by his adoring fans: his loving relatives and friends.

”Finding Dory” reunites everyone’s favorite forgetful
blue tang, Dory, with her friends Nemo and Marlin
on a search for answers about her past. What can she
remember? Who are her parents? And where did she
learn to speak Whale?
The story follows a one-time bullied geek, Bob, who
grew up to be a lethal CIA agent, coming home for
his high school reunion. Claiming to be on a top-secret case, Bob enlists the help of former “big man on
campus,” Calvin, now an accountant who misses his
glory days. But before the staid numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as
his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him
through a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage that could get them both killed in more ways
than Calvin can count.

THE FOUR HORSEMEN (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody
Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan) return for a
second mind-bending adventure, elevating the limits of stage illusion to new heights and taking them
around the globe. One year after outwitting the FBI
and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin
Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface
for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the
unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind
their vanishing act is none other than WALTER MABRY (Daniel Radcliffe), a tech prodigy who threatens
the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible
heist yet. Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the
mastermind behind it all.
In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We’re the Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem,
speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role
since Frozen), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride,
This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always
been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts
to figure out what the pigs are up to.

Laurier Foundation ‘Lobster Shack’
nets nearly $29,000 for schoolsneeds
Foundation has raised nearly $700,000 for the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board since 2004
MARTIN C. BARRY
The Sir Wilfrid Laurier Foundation’s 2016
Lobster Shack, which took place at the Château
Royal in Laval on June 9, raised nearly $29,000
to finance educational projects and resources
at Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board learning
centres and schools in the coming year.
A happy year-ender
Several hundred supporters of the foundation
look forward each year to the Lobster Shack,
which provides a rare opportunity to feast on a
maritime delicacy while supporting the cause of
public education. For many, the Lobster Shack
also brings the school year to a close on a festive
note as one of the foundation’s two main annual
fundraisers.
This year’s Lobster Shack exceeded last
year’s proceeds by several thousand dollars.
Created in 2004, the SWLF raises money to
purchase educational equipment such as Smart
Boards and overhead projectors, while funding recreational, cultural, artistic and athletic
programs at SWLSB schools. A silent auction

such as a Montreal Canadiens jersey signed by
Max Paccioretty, as well as luxury merchandise
and artpieces.
Helps support the SWLSB
In an address, SWLF chairman Christian
Fréchette noted that the SWLF has raised nearly
$700,000 since its inception. The foundation
has used the money to purchase more than
50 multi-media projectors and 50 interactive
whiteboards for each school and centre.
It has also donated $25,000 towards innovative pedagogical materials for the Arundel
Nature and Science Centre in the Laurentians.
In addition, the foundation has contributed
50,000$ towards safety and security measures
to increase security in SWLSB’s high schools.
Every May the Foundation holds the Star FestLaurier Gala event which recognizes student
success and encourages school perseverance.
‘It takes a village’
Former SWLSB commissioner and Foundation’s supporter of the Steve Kmec gets
ready to chow down on something that’s
no doubt one of his favourite delicacies.
The Foundation gives more than 100
citizenship bursaries to graduating students.
These bursaries vary between $100 and $500.
Fréchette thanked former SWLF chairman Joé
Bélanger of the Caisse Desjardins Thérèse de
Blainville for his years of service to the foundation and the cause of public education.
In her address, SWLSB chairwoman Jennifer
Maccarone said the African proverb, ‘It takes

true. “When communities, business partners,
educators, parents and political leaders work
hand in hand, they are paving the road to
success for our students and making sure that
they have a bright future ahead with unlimited
possibilities,” said Maccarone.
Seen here with SWLF chairman Christian Fréchette, Helen Alexandridis won
a $1,000 shopping spree during a raffle
