MUNICIPAL BULLETIN – VOLUME 4
INFORMATION:
DRINKABLE WATER – A CHALLENGE FOR EACH AND EVERYONE!
The most essential resource in life is – drinkable water. That resource is irreplaceable and, contrary to popular belief, it can be exhausted. It is important that we realize that this concerns all of us, and that every effort made is of great importance. Nature has provided us with water, but water management costs money and requires efficiency. Together we can reduce water wastage. Water is LIFE – let’s be mindful of that and protect such a resource.
WATERING TIMES (Bylaw No. 149)
Between 8 and 11 pm:
By the municipal office: for residents to the east of

The proper management of water consumption is a mark of respect for the community.
LIBRARY ACTIVITIES
Are suspended during the Summer season. They will resume in the Fall, with a new program. We encourage you to visit our national museums in the Summer and to use the free passes available from our representative.
SPRING CLEANING TIME…
The month of embellishment is over, but we still have work to do. The upkeep of vacant lots and properties… especially when old unused vehicles are used for decoration.
THE DUMP
The day is coming when the collection of household garbage and recyclable matter will become part of our municipal tasks. Our dump has just about had it, and our new services will help alleviate this problem.
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
School is out, holiday time is here. Please be careful: the unpredictable behaviour of kids in traffic greatly increases the risk of accidents. We would ask you to be most watchful. Pedestrians, roller bladers and cyclists are especially vulnerable.
REMEMBRANCE DAY, FINAL NOTICE
There is still time for anyone to submit the names of candidates to be remembered as veterans who died in this country after their return from combat. Please contact
