Opinion & Editorial
Ottawa’s regulation of ‘drones’ will have
to address privacy concerns
A
erial drones, those miniature four-engined radio-controlled flying machines, have become so ubiquitous
you can now decide whether you want to buy one on
impulse while standing in the check-out line at some Pharmaprix/
Shoppers Drug Mart outlets.
But while the number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), as
they are officially designated by aviation experts, has grown hugely
among civilian users in the past few years, one really has to wonder
whether all that many potential amateur operators are aware that
misusing a UAV can easily result in a $5,000 fine for an individual
or $25,000 in the case of a company.
“The expansion of commercial UAV use in Canada in the last
10 years has been dramatic,” corporate law firm Fasken Martineau
states in a recent report on the evolving regulation of UAVs in
Canada. According to the firm, rapid technological development
and increased accessibility of commercial UAVs has fueled the
sector’s expansion.
Adding to this acceleration, commercial UAVs can now more
easily be acquired at modest cost, particularly when compared to
manned aircraft, while recreational use of UAVs has also grown
significantly. However, the growth of UAV use by civilians has not
come without problems.
For example, there have been issues involving the misuse of
UAVs in urbanized areas and near commercial airspace. In just
the past year, the number of news reports concerning small drones
operated near airports and in flight paths of commercial aircraft
Federal carbon tax a cash grab that could
damage the economy
Carbon taxes largely function as energy taxes to generate a new
source of revenues for cash-hungry governments
A
ccording to a report in the Globe and Mail, Finance
Canada is quietly promoting the idea of a federal
carbon tax, or at least, a minimum carbon price, in
order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as Canada has pledged
to do in last December’s Paris Agreement.
The problem is, Canada’s track record at implanting economically benign carbon pricing is not very good: three of the four
Canadian Jurisdictions with carbon taxes or pricing are in
complete violation of economic theory about benign carbon
pricing.
Carbon taxes in Quebec and Alberta (or recently proposed
carbon trading in Ontario) are not revenue-neutral (defined as
neither increasing nor decreasing tax revenues), they are not
imposed uniformly across the economy, they exempt (or worse)
reward the largest emitting industries, and they are layered on
top of regulations, all of which damages the economy.
British Columbia’s carbon tax comes close to a “textbook”
implementation of a revenue carbon tax, but given that it’s piled
on top, instead of in lieu, of a raft of climate-related and economically distorting regulations it’s probably far less benign than it
seems, and in recent years, has morphed into an instrument of
industrial policy, with virtually all the growth in revenues from
the tax, post 2013, being directed to governmentally favoured
industries such as agriculture and the entertainment sector.
A federal tax or mandate would almost certainly promote
more of the same. Media reporting on the idea already suggests
that federal tax requirements would allow spending on green
policies as long as the revenue doesn’t leave the province. (Tell
that to Ontario, which is expected to buy carbon credits from
California as part of their cap-and-trade plan.)
Environmentalists (and many economists) posit carbon taxes
as the best approach to controlling carbon. But the way carbon
taxes have been implemented in Quebec, Alberta and proposed
in Ontario clearly show that governments are not inclined toward
fully revenue neutral carbon taxes. Instead, they implant indirect
energy taxes to generate new revenue streams that let governments dictate how energy is produced, how it is consumed, and
to reward their friends and punish their opponents.
These new “carbon” taxes or trading schemes will further
distort energy markets, raise energy prices, raise food prices,
increase energy poverty, and reduce economic competitiveness
in the province.
And again, it has to be said, there is virtually no environmental
benefit - Canada is such a small emitter of GHGs that shutting
the entire country down would not produce measureable impacts
on climate change. In fact, Canada’s global share of emissions
is shrinking as China’s and India’s grow. And, China and India
will not likely be swayed by Canadian leadership.
But perhaps carbon pricing will buy the social license Canada
needs to develop its energy resources? Just ask Alberta how
well that has worked out. Alberta has rolled out massive new
carbon taxes and a climate action plan that hamstrings future
oilsand development with its 100 megatonne annual emission
limit - and still no pipeline agreement. And waiting for ENGOs
to say “Okay, you’ve paid your social license, we’ll stop opposing
your infrastructure now” is a mug’s game.
Carbon taxes and carbon pricing are all the rage at present,
but don’t be fooled. They are overwhelmingly likely to violate
the benign economic models that economists like to talk about
on television and, instead, largely function as energy taxes to
generate a new source of revenues for cash-hungry governments.

has grown exponentially. According to Transport Canada, over
the past six years 50 investigations have been launched across the
country into incidents involving UAVs.
At the same time, there has been a similarly large number of
incidents involving recreational and commercial UAVs crashing
in urban areas, damaging property or injuring people. On top of
all this, privacy concerns are being raised because of the potential
surveillance applications of UAVs. For all these and other reasons,
the pressure is now on governments everywhere to more tightly
regulate UAV use.
Transport Canada, whose job will be to update regulations for
UAVs as their role undergoes changes, has issued certain basic
guidelines for their use by civilians. In a nutshell, they come down
to this: If you fly one for fun and it weighs 35 kilograms or less,
then you don’t need a permit known as a Special Flight Operations
Certificate (SFOC), although commercial operators do.
According to the ministry, the growth of the UAV industry has
resulted in increasing numbers of SFOC applications to Transport
Canada. In 2014, the department issued 1,672 SFOCs for UAVs,
whereas it issued 945 SFOCs in 2013 and 345 SFOCs in 2012, representing an overall increase of 485 per cent in just over two years
Even if civilian UAV operators aren’t exempted from responsibility for being safe, it is perhaps in this respect that the next
revision of the regulations may spell out in more specific terms
the penalties for civilian operators who fail to live up to the rules.
For now, Transport Canada has established certain basic obligations along with prohibitions. Among the do’s: UAVs can be flown
only in daylight and in good weather; they must be operated at
all times within the operator’s unassisted sight (without the aid
of on-board camera).
The don’ts include: Operation can never be closer than nine
kilometres from an airport; never higher than 300 feet above the
ground; never closer than 500 feet from people, animals, buildings,
structures or vehicles; never within restricted airspace such as
military bases or prisons; and never in places or situations where
they might interfere with medical first responders.
The one area of the current basic civilian rules for UAVs where
Transport Canada is somewhat ambiguous – suggesting perhaps
that the ministry, which usually regulates from a technological
standpoint, hasn’t all the authority necessary to effectively deal
with the issue – regards privacy. “Respect the privacy of others,”
is about all they say, while suggesting civilian drone operators
“avoid flying over private property or taking photos or videos
without permission.”
In this regard, Transport Canada said in a notice of its intention
to amend the regulations this past May that it will continue to
work with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner to emphasize
the applicability and role of Canada’s privacy laws to the operation
of UAVs. A March 2013 Privacy Commissioner’s report suggested
that as more people buy and use UAVs, it will be important to
balance their use within an accountability structure while putting
the necessary checks and balances in place.

Nassif seeks applications for ‘New Horizons’ seniors program
Seniors groups can receive subsidies up to $25,000 each
MARTIN C. BARRY
Vimy Liberal MP Eva Nassif is inviting
community groups in her riding with an interest in the well-being of senior citizens to apply
before July 29 for grants of up to $25,000 each
under the federally-funded New Horizons for
Seniors Program (NHSP) which is being made
available by the Ministry of Families, Children
and Social Development.
Empowering senior citizens
A description of the program furnished
by Nassif and her riding office staff during
a press conference held on June 28 states
that the NHSP “supports projects that help
empower seniors to share their knowledge,
skills and experiences with others and support
communities by increasing their capacity to
address local issues.”
“I want to take this opportunity to encourage organizations in Vimy to apply for this
program,” said Nassif. “If you have any creative
ideas for community-based projects that will
make a difference in your area we’d like to
hear from you. By supporting your seniors
programs projects, we are taking action to
ensure that seniors are provided with a wide
range of opportunities to be active members of
their communities. They deserve our respect
and admiration and they deserve our support.”
Grants for four local groups
According to a press release issued by
Nassif, four local organizations were awarded
grants based on applications made in 2015.
They are: the Institut de gestion et de coordination des organismes arméniens de Laval, the
Association Lavalloise des personnes aidantes
(ALPA), the Office municipal d’habitation de
Laval and the Place des aînés seniors communiât centre. A total of $56,247 has been granted
to the four groups.
The ministry said that another kind of
project which is “pan-Canadian” submitted
impact plans last year describing the roles
they and their project partners would play
in addressing “the important issue of social
isolation among seniors by using collaborative approaches that place an emphasis on
measurable results.” According to the ministry,
these larger projects of up to three years in
duration were eligible to receive funding
between $150,000 and $750,000.
Program targets seniors
With more than 6 million Canadians aged
65 years and older, the federal government says
it is committed to promoting the well-being
of seniors by ensuring their economic and
social security. “The government recognizes
the remarkable contribution that seniors have
made over the years and continues to take
measures to ensure they enjoy the dignified
and secure life they deserve,” the ministry said
in a statement. Since 2004 when it was created,
the NHSP has funded close to 17,800 projects
in hundreds of communities across Canada,
with a total of $360 million spent on it by the
federal government.
Marc Demers meets with
Minister François Blais
Mayor explains poverty and social needs to Quebec
Vimy MP Eva Nassif invited community groups in her riding for a info session, concerned
about senior citizens to apply for a subsidy under the New Horizons for Seniors Program.
Seeking project proposals
The ministry is looking for proposals for
projects that fit in with the NHSP’s goals and
objectives. These include promoting volunteerism among seniors; engaging seniors in
the community through mentoring of others;
expanding awareness of elder abuse, including
abuse of a financial nature; supporting social
participation and inclusion of seniors; and
providing capital assistance for new and existing community projects and/or programs for
seniors. The deadline is July 29. Information
on how to apply for a grant can be obtained

Tens of thousands attend Laval’s Fête nationale festivities
City pulls out all the stops for
celebration of cultural identity
MARTIN C. BARRY
Laval’s Centre de la Nature was transformed
into a wonderland of activities and events on
June 24 as the city pulled out all the stops to
mark Quebec’s Fête nationale holiday.
While smaller gatherings were also held in
many neighbourhoods of Laval throughout the
day, municipal officials held a special ceremony
at Laval city hall during the afternoon for the
raising of the Fleurdelisé flag, followed by a
reception.
A Fête nationale concert that evening at the
Centre de la Nature was attended by tens of
thousands of people.
Heritage important: El-Khoury
“This truly is a day to feel proud to be participating and recognizing the importance of this
yearly event which is part of our heritage,” said
Laval-Les Îles Liberal MP Fayçal El-Khoury who
was among the many dignitaries who turned
up at the Centre de la Nature as well as at city
hall later.
“I encouraged my staff and family and
constituents to come out and participate and
we will all be taking part here all day,” he added.
Delivering the keynote address during the
morning at the Centre de la Nature, Michel
Leduc, president of the organizing committee
for Fête nationale festivities in Laval, said the
Quebec of today is a place of “diversity, solidarity,
generosity.
Laval’s mayor, city councillors, MPs and MNAs are seen here outside Laval city hall on the Fête nationale.
The Quebec of today
“The Quebec of today is also about the
environment, sustainable development, the
preservation of green spaces,” he continued.
“It’s also a place of innovative businesses, of
workers who work daily for the well-being of
the population.”
After being introduced by Vimy Liberal MP
Eva Nassif, Alfred-Pellan Liberal MP Angelo
Iacono read out a statement Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau had written for the Laval Fête
nationale celebration. “On this day we celebrate
the rich history of Quebec, our heritage as well
as our language,” the Prime Minister said.
“St-Jean-Baptiste is also a celebration of the
French culture from one ocean to another,” he
added, “a day during which we pay homage to
Francophone Canadian women and men in all
the provinces and all the territories who are an
essential pillar of our country.”

LAVAL AIMS TO BE A FORERUNNER IN ACTIVE MOBILITY
Laval is striving to reduce its dependency on motor vehicles, in order to become a city of active mobility. In fact,
according to the last Origin-Destination survey, Laval is
the only territory in Greater Montréal that has increased
its population faster than its motor vehicle numbers. The
increase in the use of public transit in Laval rose 28%
between 2008 and 2013, compared to 10% in the rest
of Greater Montréal. Today, one Laval resident out of five
travels on public transit during the morning rush hour.
As all trail-blazing cities, Laval must continue to invest in
public transit and alternate means of transportation other
than motor vehicles, in response to many problems including road congestion, air pollution and health problems
related to a sedentary lifestyle.

Laval makes substantial investments in its public transit
system. The City has increased its contribution to its public transit corporation by nearly 18% since our team was
elected in 2013. Moreover, we have implemented free
public transit for residents who are 65 years old or over.
That was a first step...

Technology to the rescue
With their smartphone in hand, public transit users of the
buses operated by the Société de transport de Laval (STL)
were the first in Québec to be able to count on an information system in real time that enables them to track bus
movements within the system. They can also plan their
travels on a mobile application. These innovations make
it easier, more practical and more user-friendly to rely on
public transit.

?
The government of Québec recently invested $23.5M in
setting up 14.4 km of reserved lanes, including a 1-km
centre lane along boulevard Le Corbusier Sud. The City is
taking advantage of this roadwork to redo the sidewalks,
bicycle paths and configurations designed to encourage
active mobility. Added to these major road infrastructures
is a system that will be implemented throughout Laval territory to synchronize traffic lights and give some priority to
buses that are behind schedule. Laval residents will consequently have access to a state-of-the-art network in a few
months’ time, therefore ranking us among the leading and
most innovative cities in public transit.
Our efforts to reduce greenhouse gases will also require
the STL to equip itself with a fleet of fully-electric buses. Since 2013, various actions have been taken toward
achieving this objective: The STL has decided to purchase
only hybrid vehicles and we have tested a fully-electric
bus—the only one in operation in Québec at the present
time. We want to pursue our efforts to electrify our entire
fleet of buses in order to give Laval residents a clean bus
system without any greenhouse gas emissions.
Metro extension
The extension of the western portion of the metro’s Orange
line or the implementation of an efficient, rapid transit link
between the western part of Laval and Montréal, such as
a light rail transit system, will become the necessary next
step in the development of public transit. In fact, demographic growth in Laval is estimated at 26% within 20
years from now—the second largest increase in all of
Québec. Everyone faces road congestion problems on the
North Shore. Developing structuring public transit services
in Laval is therefore a glaring emergency, both for workers’
needs and to ensure the mobility of our low-income residents and those who are pursuing their studies.
The City and its transit corporation have demonstrated exemplary leadership in this regard and we well intend to
continue to do so in order to offer Laval residents the city
of their dreams—a city that is urban in nature.

De Cotis consults Laval’s
sports associations
Executive-committee v.p. plans more meetings next year
(TLN) On June 20, officials from the City of
Laval met for a second time with some of the
principal community association leaders involved
with minor sports in Laval in order to come to a
better understanding of the Laval community’s
sports needs.
Consulted local groups
The meetings were held with the regional
and local presidents of the six largest minor
sports associations in Laval, the parents who are
involved, and representatives from the city such
as executive-committee vice-president David De
Cotis who oversees sports and recreation and who
initiated the encounters.
“I started this practice which didn’t exist when
I first came into this post,” De Cotis said. “Our
meetings last year allowed us to better understand
the issues, needs and realities of those involved
in sports in Laval.
“This year, thanks to the excellent work, we
were able to fix numerous problems and hope to
continue the work next year,” he added. “We know
that the City of Laval has some catching up to do,
especially with regard to its infrastructure, and
we are determined to bring our city up to scale.”
Upgrades underway
De Cotis said Laval is investing in the reno-
Trusted care since 1996
vation of its arenas and the construction of an
aquatic centre. With the opening of Lausanne
Park and Place Bell, he added that the city is on
the right track and that consultation meetings
will be held again next year.
“We know that the steps that we started last
year won’t be sufficient to fix everything now,” he
said. “It’s by working together and by making sure
that all the players and experts are consulted that
we will make Laval progress for the betterment
of its youth.”

Promoting Public Transit
Meet the STL
Information Brigade
The Information Brigade is the perfect addition to the many tools
already provided by the STL. Readily available and well informed,
the Information Brigade communicates directly with clients
to answer questions about public transit.
“The Information Brigade is on the ground
in public locations across the city to speak
with Lavallers on their terms.”
David De Cotis
President of the STL’s Board of Directors
YOU MIGHT HAVE ALREADY SEEN THEM AT SPECIAL
EVENTS OR AT THE TERMINUSES. THE INFORMATION

The Information Brigade will
be riding the integrated
school bus routes and
visiting schools to explain
the different types of fares
and help students to travel
wiser. At cultural and
sporting events, they will be
walking the crowds and
meeting people to explain
the advantages offered by
public transportation over
travelling alone in cars. This summer, you’re also sure to see the
Information Brigade cycling through Laval’s parks to promote our
Cyclobus service. They will be meeting with new residents to inform
them about the STL’s services in their area. As the STL’s proud
ambassadors, they will be crossing the city, creating customized trips
on their iPads to meet the needs of everyone they meet.
“Are you waiting for the number 61? Did you know that you can get
the arrival times for all our buses in real time just by clicking here?”
The Information Brigade is out wherever Lavallers are to be found.
In 2015, the Information Brigade proudly received a Leadership Award
from the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) in recognition of
this initiative’s originality.

Settling into a new city is a
pivotal moment and it is the
best time to make a change
to the entire family’s travel
habits. This summer,
members of the Information
Brigade will be meeting with
new residents of Laval to
explain the various services
provided by the STL and
offer an information kit that
includes OPUS occasional
cards preloaded with two
fares. This will provide
new residents with the
opportunity to learn the
ropes of taking public transit
in their new neighbourhood, identify local bus lines and shelters and
find made-to-measure transit solutions for each member of the family.
Yet another major benefit offered by public transit.

FENCES, RETAINING WALLS...
(Bylaws L-2000 & L-9501)
Ville de Laval has established bylaws on fences,
low walls, retaining walls and hedges in order
to promote some visual harmony in residential
areas. The rules and regulations in this regard
are designed to promote some visual harmony
in the residential areas and mainly deal with the
authorized location, materials and height; they
concern the whole territory of Laval. There are
also additional restrictions for the district of
Laval-sur-le-Lac and areas of heritage interest
and if your home is located on land running along
more than one street.
NUISANCES (BYLAW L-11465)
Ville de Laval introduced a bylaw on nuisances
in order to ensure a better quality environment
and protect public health and safety. This bylaw
deals with overgrown grass, harmful weeds,
odours, dust, smoke, light, wild animals, flyers
and archery as well as with non-domestic and
stray animals, and also deals with depositing
or accumulating garbage, accumulating water,
obstructing ditches and storing road vehicles.
Ville de Laval reminds its residents that open
fires are prohibited.

CHIMNEY SWEEPING: A MATTER OF SAFETY
It’s important to have your chimney swept
every year. The purpose of this operation is to
remove the accumulation of creosote or soot in
the heating appliances in order to prevent chimney fires, which may jeopardize lives. Every year,
an inspection must be carried out on chimneys,
the chimney flue and the connector pipes. In addition, this must be done each time an appliance is
connected as well as after each chimney fire, in
order to detect any hazardous conditions. Ville de
Laval recommends that you hire a chimney sweep
recognized by the Association des professionnels
du chauffage (APC).
Look Out for Fraudulent Companies
Before installing your heat pump, your central
air conditioning system or your wallmounted
air conditioning units or even a swimming pool
heater, inquire about the municipal bylaw aimed
at promoting a certain visual harmony as well as
peace and quiet in residential areas. The regulations particularly concern the location of this
equipment. The nuisances they cause are often
related to noise. It is important to provide for a
certain distance between such equipment and
the property line.
Noise
The installation of the heat pump must respect
the noise bylaw.
Buying an outdoor fireplace or a cooking
appliance grows in popularity. Before you buy
it it’s important to be aware of the installation
restrictions and nuisance problems that it can
cause, in order to avoid needless expense.
An outdoor cooking appliance or a fireplace is
authorized only in a backyard. It must be located
at a minimum of 3.05 metres (10 feet) from all
property lines and have a maximum height of
3.05 metres (10 feet) – Bylaw L-2000.
Advice
• Evaluate the location and general direction
of the winds.
• Install a fire screen.
• Use a metal container to remove the ashes.
• Install these appliances on a non-combustibles surface (concrete, gravel or grass) and
not on a wooden surface.

OPEN
POOL AND SPAS
Pools and Spas In Laval, there are very specific
rules—and even stricter than provincial ones—
with regard to the installation of spas as well as
above-ground or in-ground pools. Ville de Laval’s
bylaw stipulates the standards relating to pools,
their accessories, the fence that must surround
them, the fence gate and the documents you will
need in order to obtain a certificate of authorization, which is required before installing a pool
or spa. ($50).
A fence - it’s a must!
An Enclosure Is A Must! Safety Access to
all above-ground and in-ground pools or spas
filled with over 45 cm (18 in.) of water must be
protected by an enclosure (fence, railing and
part of a building wall). Enclosure specifications
An enclosure must: tprevent a spherical object
of 10 cm in diameter from passing through tbe
at least 1.2 metres high thave no attachments,
projections or openwork that could facilitate
climbing tbe solid and rigid An enclosure may
not consist of a hedge or shrubs. All gates to
the enclosure must be equipped with a static
security device installed on the inside of the
enclosure, on the upper part of the gate, and
allowing the gate to automatically close and
lock after being opened. Annual municipal
tax (water tax)

RAGWEED - BYLAW L-5659
It is up to owners, lessees or
occupants of a vacant or partly
built lot or land to destroy and
eliminate any ragweed before
August 1, namely before the
flowers reach maturity. Pulling
it out is the most environmentally-friendly method to
get rid of ragweed.
It is also possible to cut ragweed twice during
the summer:
1.At the end of July
2.Before August 20
A conclusive eradication technique
Since 2006, Ville de Laval has been using a
ragweed eradication technique: Vaporization
with saline water. This process is used on some
severely infested roadsides and has proven highly
successful as all plants were eradicated with the
first spraying.
Ragweed pollen affects over 30, 000 Laval
residents every year. The main symptoms of hay
fever include sinus congestion, itchy and runny
nose, itchy and watery eyes, and sneezing. If
allowed to grow and bloom, each ragweed plant
can release millions of pollen grains, causing the
allergic reactions associated with hay fever. This
is the reason why it is important to eliminate
ragweed.
If you notice any ragweed in a field or vacant
lot, please notify the City by dialing 311.
? 311 or 450 978-8000 (from outside Laval)
Don’t Confuse Ragweed with Poison Ivy!
Ragweed and poison ivy are very different
plants and must not be confused. Unlike poison
ivy, ragweed can be touched, and therefore pulled
out, without causing skin rashes.
For more information, contact a medical clinic
or CLSC.
SMOKE DETECTORS - (BYLAW L-9000)
All properties must have a
smoke detector (also called a
smoke alarm) in working order.
In the case of a multi-family
buildings, the landlord must
install a smoke detector in each
housing unit. In a single-family home, each floor
must have a smoke detector and the devices must
be interconnected.
Advices: Make sure you verify, at least
twice a year, if your alarm is working properly.
Furthermore, change the battery once a year or
more if need be.
Fines: Any person who contravene any provision of these regulations commits an offense and
is liable:
First offense: minimum fine of $50 - up to $1,000
Recurrence:minimum fine of $100 - up to $2,000
Any corporation that contravenes any provision of
these regulations commits an offense and is liable:
First offense: minimum fine of $100 - up to $2,000
Recurrence:minimum fine of $200 - up to $4,000
TREE CODE - PROGRAM
Bylaws L-2000, L-9501, L-10378 and L-10277
Ville de Laval’s city council has adopted, during
a special assembly held on June 19, 2002, a bylaw
promoting tree planting and tree maintenance.
Laval residents are therefore eligible to a financial assistance when they plant or keep a tree in
good shape. Ville de Laval’s Tree Code includes
specific guidelines that everyone must follow, and
particularly with regard to the types of eligible
streets or to the location of trees. And don’t forget
that homeowners must obtain a certificate of
authorization before cutting down a tree.
Look Out for Fraudulent Companies
Please note that no firm or professionals
have been authorized by the City for tree planting or maintenance.

l’urbanisme at 450 680-5555 or 450 680-5500.
WATERING- BYLAW L-4340 IN EFFECT MAY
15 TO SEPTEMBER 15
Saving drinking water has long been at the
heart of Ville de Laval’s concern. Aware of the
importance of this precious resource that water
truly is, Ville de Laval annually invests a lot of
effort to preserve it.
Bylaw L-4340, which concerns the use and
consumption of water, mainly aims to prevent
wasting drinking water, and especially in the
summer.

bered dates, and odd-numbered addresses on
odd-numbered dates
The City bylaw on drinking water consumption
for outdoor use is in effect May 15 – September

public view to sell it elsewhere than at a public
market or in a business establishment—are
authorized as an additional use of the dwelling.
These sales may be held for one single two-day
period per residential building during the same
calendar year (Bylaw L-2000).
CHILD CARE - BYLAW L-11015

Huskies centre returns to Laval with President’s Cup
Peter Abbandonato sharpened his hockey game in Chomedey
MARTIN C. BARRY
It’s a trophy inscribed with the names of some
of the greatest hockey players ever – Montreal
Canadiens right winger Guy Lafleur and Florida
Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo are just two.
Now the name of Peter Abbandonato, who
started playing hockey in Laval when he was only
four years old, will also be listed on the QMJHL’s
President’s Cup.
His rookie season with Huskies
In his rookie season of play after being
drafted in 2014 by the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies,
Abbandonato was part of the Huskies crew that
won the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s
most coveted trophy at the conclusion of the
2015-2016 season.
Last week, as one of the perks enjoyed by
winning team members, Abbandonato, who plays
centre, was able to take the President’s Cup home
for two days to his parents’ house in Chomedey.
On Sunday afternoon, the family was joined by
relatives and friends to celebrate Peter’s journey
to success.
It’s been 14 years since 18-year-old Peter
Abbandonato first put on a pair of skates to
play hockey in Chomedey. Working his way up
through Novice, Peewee and Atom divisions, by
the time he was in his late teens he tried out for
Team Canada’s U-17 squad, went on to play in
Finland and eventually was spotted by a QMJHL
scout.
Learned hockey in Laval
Abbandonato was the Huskies’ 32nd pick in
the second round of the league’s 2014 draft.
According to Huskies stats, the 5’10” 182 lb.
Abbandonato scored seven times for the team
during the 2015-16 regular season and four times
during the playoffs.
The longtime Chomedey resident sharpened
his skills playing extensively with Laval’s TGV
Express, the Dynamos, the Patriots, the Senators

and the Mistral before finally being picked up by
the Huskies. He is currently one of two Huskies
players from Laval, the other being 20-year-old
left wing/centre Julien Nantel who was a 2014
NHL Colorado Avalanche draft pick.
Abbandonato attributes part of his success
in his chosen sport to the example set by his
father. “Growing up, our house was pretty much
hockey a lot of the time,” he said in an interview
with Newsfirst Multimedia, noting that his father
played the game as did his older brother. While
their television was constantly tuned to hockey,
Peter Abbandonato came to admire major on-ice
stars like Sidney Crosby.
First time eligible for NHL draft
After turning 18 this year, it was the first time
Abbandonato became eligible for the NHL draft.
Although he was not among those called in the
selection which took place the day before our
interview, he took it in stride.
“It’s another push to work harder for next year
– another year to train hard and get drafted,” he
said. In the meantime he undergoes five intensive
training sessions every week. Currently a CEGEP
student, he also hopes to pursue a career in the
financial services sector should his prospects in
professional hockey not pan out.
Abbandonato’s family couldn’t be prouder
of his accomplishments. The leadup to the
President’s Cup final match was “incredible,
an amazing feeling,” said his mother, Dina
Bakopanos, who followed everything on TVA
Sports. “I don’t think there’s anybody we know

who wasn’t watching that game,” she added,
laughing.
Father drove to Rouyn-Noranda
Her husband, Joe Abbandonato, drove north
from Laval to Rouyn-Noranda where he was one
of thousands of wild spectators who witnessed
the final match on May 12 between the Huskies
and the Shawinigan Cataractes at the RouynNoranda’s Iamgold Arena.
“By the end of the game, in the last seconds,
knowing that the game was won, we couldn’t
hear ourselves for the noise in that place,” said
Joe. And who could have blamed them. After all,
it was the first time in 20 years that the RouynNoranda Huskies had won the President’s Cup.
Laval Armenian Festival 2016 a big success
Vocalist Pamboukjian’s performance draws large crowd
MARTIN C. BARRY
The 2016 Laval Armenian Festival, which
took place at the former Cavalia site just off
Autoroute 15 from June 24 – 26, attracted
thousands of people from all over Laval and
the Montreal region for one of Quebec’s biggest
annual celebrations of Armenian culture.
most famous Armenian pop singers, Harout
Pamboukjian, flew in from his home in Los
Angeles to perform for Laval’s Armenians.

Faithful to the culture
The many families who attended enjoyed
traditional Armenian foods, midway games,
dancing and live music, all to remind them of
their Armenian roots. As many as 9,000 Laval
residents are of Armenian descent.
The festival is organized as a fundraiser by
members of Laval’s Sourp Kevork Armenian
Apostolic Church. In Laval there are several
Armenian churches and Sourp Kevork
Armenian Apostolic Church has about 600
members.

The Laval Armenian Festival is one of the
largest Armenians stage in the province. “The
weather is cooperating this year, so we have
been expecting many more people than last
year,” said Vicken Khozozian, president of the
organizing committee for the event.
On the opening evening on June 24, comedy
was on the menu: a trio of Armenian comedians flew in from various cities across the world
and performed for 1,500 people under the big
top. On Saturday night, one of the world’s

important for us to be close to the Armenian
community,” said Abord-à-Plouffe city councillor Vasilios Karidogiannis. “It’s nice for a
community like the Armenians to be able to
share their values and their traditions like this,”
said Vimy Liberal MP Eva Nassif.
“Coming to the Armenian Festival is like
coming home,” added Chomedey Liberal MNA
Guy Ouellette who was attending the event for
the tenth consecutive year. In contrast, it was
the first time for Fabre Liberal MNA Monique
Sauvé since she was elected only six months ago
in a by-election. “The Armenian community is
very important in my riding,” she said.

“The City of Laval is very involved with the
Armenian community and we are very proud
to be one of their partners,” said Laval executive-committee vice-president David De Cotis.
The Armenian Festival site was furnished over
the three days by the city. “The Armenian
community in Laval is one of the largest,” said
Laval-Les Îles Liberal MP Fayçal El-Khoury who
was one of the many dignitaries who turned up
on Saturday to pay their respects.

WTF?
I am seeking advice in a rather delicate situation, or should I say, a rather delicate relationship.
I am a woman, 38, still legally married, though
the relationship has fallen apart over the years
and we no longer desire to be married to each
other.
We have become content living in the same
house and caring for our children. One of them
has experienced a painful, difficult adolescence
and is in residential treatment and doing beautifully. Eventually the plan is to divorce and go our
separate ways in the most delicate and amicable
way possible for the sake of everyone.
Recently I met someone and began a relationship in which physical things happened
very quickly. For the time being we are both
content. We are taking our time to get to know
each other and open up to each other a little
more in the small amount of time we are able
to spend together.
He doesn’t like to think or talk about the
reality of the situation, and I feel it is important
if the relationship is to continue. There has been
no talk of distrust, but I cannot help but feel he
is afraid of getting hurt.
Getting to know each other better is something I feel will need a great deal of time to
accomplish. Do you think it is better to go slowly
and let whatever will develop happen naturally,
or should I confront him and make both of us
discuss the reality of the issues that exist in both
our minds?
The relationship is very good and I do not
know if confrontation after only two months
is wise.
Bobbi Jo
Bobbi Jo, one translation of the Magnificat, a
Christian prayer, contains the line “the proud
are confused in their innermost thoughts.” You
want to have a confrontation with a boyfriend
you barely know while married to a husband
you are “content” with. We can only conclude
that you are confused in your innermost
thoughts.
This is only half a step above, “I met a guy
in a bar last night and we had sex. Should I
confront him about moving in together?”
Why wouldn’t you be confused? The whole
thing is crazy. You are taking it slow with a new
man but quickly got physical. You are okay with
your husband but want out of the house lickety-split. Your relationship with the new man
is flimsy at best yet you want to confront him.
What didn’t you say? Any words of love
toward either man.
We smell a rat. This is no way to end a
marriage. Trolling for the first available man
who will hop into bed with you isn’t the way
to do it. Neither is blindsiding your husband.
You are a married woman, living together
with your husband and you have children.
Making a molehill out of a mountain of family
issues, while making a mountain out of a fledgling, illicit relationship, can only make your
life worse.
You have kids, at least one with problems.
Before getting a divorce and starting to date you
must plan for your children’s future, provide a
good example for them to follow and settle all
manner of issues with your husband.
You asked whether to go slowly with your
new lover or to confront him now. We say
confront him now. That will reveal your true
motivation, not only to him but to yourself. It
will also force you to confront the real issues:
how to end your marriage and how to care for
your children.

While June 24 has long been a holiday celebrated as the Fête nationale in Quebec, its roots
as the feast of St. John the Baptist are shared by
many other peoples around the globe – including the people of Portugal.
On the evening of June 23, members of
Laval’s Portuguese community gathered at their
community centre on Favreau St. in Chomedey
for a celebration of Quebec’s national holiday,
as well as to pay homage simultaneously to the
patron saint shared by Portugal and Quebec.
A shared celebration
It was at least the 35th year the Association
portuguaise Notre-Dame-de-Fatima-de-Laval
sponsored the event, said the group’s president
Tony Santos, who pointed out that they were
even holding it back in the days when the Fête
nationale was known as the Fête de la St-Jean.
Not only is John the Baptist revered in
Portugal, said Santos, but a celebration of the
saint takes place in his home town there over
several days each year around June 24.
Indeed, the celebration has long been a tradition with a good number of peoples, including
the Spanish, the Germans, the Scandinavians,
the Russians, the Poles and the Ukrainians, as
well as the Latvians, Estonians and Lithuanians.
Reason to celebrate
Folklorists have long pointed out that the
feast coincides fairly closely with the ancient
pagan observance of summer solstice, which
they say early Christian leaders sought to
replace. Whatever the case may be, on June 24
each year people in Laval such as the Portuguese
like to gather on the eve of June 24 for a big
celebration.
Under the warm sunshine of early evening,
the activities included some short speeches by
invited dignitaries such as Chomedey Liberal
MNA Guy Ouellette and Vimy Liberal MP
Eva Nassif. For the kids, there were inflatable
games, face painting, clowns and balloons. For
families, the Pieds légers de Laval, one of the
most enduring of Quebec’s folkore groups,
performed. And finally for everyone as night
fell, a small bonfire – the traditional Feu de Joie
de la St-Jean – was lit.
Busy time for MPs, MNAs
For elected officials like Nassif, the Fête natio-

nale meant a very busy schedule. “This is my
third event today,” she told the Laval News. “I
like attending and meeting citizens, listening
to them, inviting them to apply for some of our
programs they may not know about.”
Ouellette was as busy as his provincial
counterpart. “A couple of events tonight – I
have to go to St-Jérôme for their Fête nationale,”
he said, while noting that this was his tenth year
attending the Laval Portuguese community’s
St-Jean celebration.
Special tradition for Ouellette
“I’m in the habit of always starting the St-Jean
holiday off with the Portuguese community,”
Ouellette said a little later when he was invited
to address the crowd. “So it is once again this
year. I wish a very happy Fête de la St-Jean
to all Quebecers of all origins, but especially
to the people of the Portuguese community.
Thanks to you who year after year organize this
celebration.”
Nassif pointed out that the event marks the
beginning of vacation time each year. “This
St-Jean-Baptiste celebration marks an event
that is important to Francophone Canadians
across Canada,” she said. “We should all celebrate this together.”
Thousands attend Laval Hellenic Summer Festival
Dual-celebration held for Greek heritage and Canada Day
MARTIN C. BARRY
Thousands of people with Greek roots from
all over Quebec got the opportunity to return to
their cultural origins on Canada Day weekend
when the Laval Greek Orthodox Community
held its annual Hellenic Summer Festival at Holy
Cross Church in Chomedey.
A mostly sunny weekend
Dennis Marinos, president of the Laval chapter of the Hellenic Community of Montreal, said
the mostly good weather probably encouraged
people to come out to this year’s event, compared
to last year when rain put somewhat of a damper
on things.
The Laval Hellenic Summer Festival is one of
the biggest Greek cultural events that takes place
in Quebec each year. People arrive from as far as
Ottawa and Toronto eager to meet and greet old
friends and members of their families. In Laval
there are an estimated 39,000 Greek residents.
All proceeds from each year’s festival support
local Greek educational needs, as well as charitable causes in the Greek community. Stirring
performances of traditional Greek dancing were
given by students attending schools supported
by the Greek Orthodox community of Laval.
Another highlight each year on July 1 is a Canada
Day celebration with a large Canadian flag cake.
Many diginitaries present
Among the many dignitaries who turned up
this year were Laval mayor Marc Demers, Liberal
MPs for Laval Fayçal El-Khoury, Eva Nassif and
Angelo Iacono, Quebec Liberal MNAs from
Laval Guy Ouellette and Monique Sauvé, Laval
city councillors Vasilios Karidogiannis and Aline
Dib, and Montreal city councillor Mary Deros.
Former Laval city councillor Jocelyne Guertin
was also among the guests seated at the table
of honour.
Accompanied by city councillors Vasilios
Karidogiannis and Aline Dib, Mayor Marc
Demers alluded to the weather which took a
brief turn for the worst towards early evening
on July 1. “This year I would like to say, unfortunately, there is rain, but rain is not a municipal
jurisdiction,” he said, while adding that “the sun
is.” Shortly after, the rain stopped and the sun
came out again.
Ouellette also alluded to the weather. Noting
that the Laval Summer Festival often opens with
rain on the first day, he correctly predicted that
“for the rest of the weekend we are going to have
beautiful weather.” Ouellette pointed out that the
largest community of Greeks in Quebec resides
in his riding.
Local MPs made addresses
In an address delivered by Nassif, she said:
“Canadian society, by engaging with the world
and experiencing other cultures, has helped
shape the communities by those who belong to
them. We do well to honour our shared histories
and engage with all people. Together we walk

forward united with a common purpose and a
respect for where we came from.”
El-Khoury for his part said: “It is with
pride and honour that I stand here as a Greek
Orthodox born and raised in a Greek church in
Lebanon. I am so happy, I am so proud to be with
the Greek community here in Laval. I would like
to mention to you that Canada is proud of your
community, the way that you contribute to our
society which is a society of diversity.”
El-Khoury also alluded to the local Greek
community’s contributions towards helping
make Laval “a clean city, an honest city, an
uncorrupted city and a city that is friendly to
the environment. Let us work together to make
Laval a good city in our beautiful province of
Quebec, but let us always try and work towards
keeping our beautiful province of Quebec always
in a Canada that is united forever.”

Police Detain 11 for Alleged Gun-Toting
July 3 – Police detained and subsequently
released 11 men, all in their mid-twenties, in
connection with an incident that involved one
young man brandishing a firearm in public.
A witness called 911 and reported seeing a
man holding the weapon in his hand, waving
it around, and displaying it to his friends. He
was spotted near the intersection of boulevards
Curé-Labelle and Ste-Rose, standing near a
red Dodge Charger and four other cars that
appeared to be modified.
The group dispersed when a police cruiser
approached them. The five cars headed westbound on Ste-Rose before turning north onto
Arthur-Sauvé, entering St-Eustache.
Both Laval and St-Eustache police forces assisted in pulling the cars safely over. The 11 occupants and the vehicles
were searched by canine units but nothing illegal was found. No weapon was located. The men were all eventually let go.

Quebec edged out by Ontario in
Danone Nations Cup Canadian Final
Laval hosted soccer event at Centre sportif Bois-de-Boulogne
Laval was a proud host
MARTIN C. BARRY
A team of 11 young soccer players representing Ontario will be travelling to France in
October to represent Canada in international
playoffs after edging out a team from Quebec by
a close score of 2 – 1 during the Danone Nations
Cup Canadian Final which took place on June 25
at the Centre sportif Bois-de-Boulogne in Laval.
Best in Quebec
The annual Danone Nations Cup is billed
as the world’s biggest youth soccer tournament. Two players from Laval, Audrey-Chelsie
François and Samuel Sinzidi, played on the
Quebec team which was made up of the best
soccer players 10 – 12 years of age in the province. The 11 players on the Quebec team were
chosen from a pool of around 1,000 candidates
at selection camps held in May and June.
Players were selected for both their exceptional skills and team spirit. According to
the organizers, a number of former Danone
Cup participants have gone on to careers in
professional soccer, including Canadian players
Ashton Morgan of the Toronto FC, Maxime
Crepeau of the Montreal Impact, Fraser Aird of
the Vancouver Whitecaps and Marie Levasseur
of the Canadian women’s national soccer team.
“We’re proud to host the event today,” said
City of Laval executive-committee vice-president David De Cotis who was on hand to officially get the game underway. “For the City of
Laval, this is another way we are being pro-active by encouraging our youth to participate in
all kinds of sports. Being active in sports is good
for the body and the soul and it’s also good for
the mind. We are always very pleased to be able
to host this kind of event. It’s really an honour
for Laval to welcome kids from all over Canada
to come play in our city.”
Although the match didn’t turn out as Team
Quebec would have preferred, it was closely
contested all the same. Ontario gained a 1
– 0 lead early in the first half. Team Quebec
evened it up shortly into the second. Quebec
then suffered a critical setback when Ontario
scored a second time on a penalty shot that
easily got past Quebec’s goaltender with just
five minutes left on the game clock. Following
that, the local team wasn’t able to recover.

Flying to Paris in October
The members of Team Ontario, which won
the right to represent Canada, will now be flying
from Toronto to Paris on October 11. Once
there, they’ll be undergoing training with Team
Canada’s head coach Dean Howie and assistant
coach Patrick Leduc. The entire delegation will
be taking part in opening ceremonies for the
Danone Nations Cup where they’ll also have
the chance to meet soccer-playing youths from
around the world.

Pierre Lavoie. From June 16 to 19, riders in the event covered 1,000

CSDL team’s fundraising efforts by test driving a Ford vehicle as part of
the Ford Canada’s Drive 4 Ur Community program.
For every test drive, Ford Canada donated $20 to the CSDL cycling
team. With 121 test drives completed, 440 Ford Lincoln Laval was able
to give the team a total of $2,420.
