MUNICIPAL BULLETIN – VOLUME 5

INFORMATION:

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICIAL

The situation with wandering dogs has improved greatly but there is still a lot a road to cover.  As for medals, your dog or cat must wear a medal renewable each year.  Fines from 200$ up to 1,000$ (plus fees) could be imposed for not adhering to the rules.  To reach the animal control officer please dial 819-683-2357.  Remember you are the one responsible for your own animal.

PRECISIONS CONCERNING THE ATV’S…

Romain street only gives access to the permitted area of the cycle path which is the shoulder of the path and not the path itself. Please try to respect this at all cost.

DID YOU KNOW THAT WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING YOUR FIRE ALARM IS WATCHING OVER YOU? 

The fire prevention week message is a reflection of... <Fire never sleeps>. If you have smoke detectors this is the time to change your batteries and if you do not have one well this is the time to get one.

THE BAG OF GOODIES
Halloween… A magical and fantastic event that awakens the child in all of us.  Not only is there the disguise and the wandering in the streets but there is also the famous harvest of surprises.  Even if we have to examine the content, most of the time children are delighted with their gatherings: Candies, caramels, bubble gum (sugarless goes without saying) chips and chocolates all come back systematically.

For a few years now, children have been discovering nice and different surprises.  Added to candies (always appreciated by the 2-12 clan) are such things as: Stickers, coloured crayons, and coupons to popular restaurants, amusing erasers, arts and craft accessories such as pearls or even origami paper.  The donors are showing a lot of imagination, which brings great joy to the children, their parents… and mostly their dentist.  What kids prefer is a combination of both.  The secret to success is that the children prepare the bags because they know what is in style and they offer voluntarily their help to choose what will please.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

What is important is not to finish a masterpiece
but to foresee that one day it will be the start of something.
