  • The Laurentians at Orange and Red Levels
    Communiqué de presse Pour publication immédiate Progressive regional alert and intervention system (COVID-19) The Laurentians at Orange and Red Levels Saint-Jérôme, September 29, 2020 – As of Thursday, October 1, and for the next 28 days, the Rivière-du- Nord, Thérèse-De Blainville and Deux-Montagnes MRCs and the Town of Mirabel will be considered Red Zones for the purpose of fighting and monitoring COVID-19. Meanwhile, the status of the Argenteuil, Pays- d’en-Haut, Laurentides and Antoine-Labelle MRCs will change to Alert Level Orange. The CISSS des Laurentides wants the public to understand what that means and the measures that will be put in place to slow the spread of the virus. As they are part of the Montreal Metropolitan Community (MMC), the Thérèse-De Blainville and Deux- Montagnes MRCs and the Town of Mirabel are now Red Zones, following to the Public Health Department’s finding that the virus is spreading at an accelerated rate in those sectors. The same goes for the Rivière-du- Nord MRC, where COVID-19 is spreading at a similar rate. As for the other MRCs of the Laurentian region (those of Argenteuil, Pays-d’en-Haut, Laurentides and Antoine-Labelle), their Alert Level is upgraded to Orange, as the virus is circulating more and more actively in those sectors. Red Alert (Rivière-du-Nord, Thérèse-De Blainville, Deux-Montagnes MRCs, and the Town of Mirabel) Level 4 – Maximum Alert (Red) institutes additional restrictive and targeted measures, that could extend to prohibiting non-essential activities where the risk cannot be sufficiently contained, while avoiding as much as possible a general lock-down like the one imposed during the first wave of the pandemic.

    Report of the President of the 3L Area Council – Region 2 (Laval/Laurentides/Lanaudière/Abitibi-Témiscamingue) June 18, 2015 to February 2017 My term began in the thick of the campaign of activities on the 19th of every month, with a rally on June 19 with CEIU Local 10426 in Laval. I helped to organize the “Harperman” video and would like to express a big thank you to all who joined in. The fall of 2015 was a very busy time, with the mobilization activities on the 19th of every month and the courses I took to fully understand my role as President of the Area Council and to complete the PSAC Union Development Program, an intensive education program designed to develop the leadership skills of emerging union activists over ten months, which began in February 2015. I also attended my first meeting of the Quebec Council and my first meeting of the FTQ substance abuse and dependencies committee. In addition, I took several occupational health and safety courses. After becoming President of the Area Council, I resigned from my position as Women’s Coordinator. I was fortunate enough to attend the first FTQ “women’s school” organized by the occupational health and safety group, a wonderful and eye-opening course on traditional and non-traditional workplaces for women. I also took part in the World March of Women in Trois-Rivières. November 19, 2015: Annual meeting of the 3L Area Council, and election. I was re- elected by acclamation as President, Eric Villeneuve was re-elected by acclamation as Vice-President and Manon Lamoureux was re-elected as Treasurer.

QIP investments have reached a historic high, i.e. $130.5 billion over the next 10 years, up $15.1 billion from the last fiscal year. This means a total increase of over $30.1 billion that our Government is dedicating to the QIP for two years, an unprecedented but essential initiative to keep the infrastructure portfolio in good condition and support its growth based on emerging needs. Four priorities have been put forward in the development of the 2020-2030 QIP: education, with an additional $5.9 billion, mainly to expand and build primary and secondary schools; public transit, with an additional $3.3 billion and several new projects under study; health, which will benefit from an additional $2.9 billion, in part to build seniors' residences; and culture, with the deployment of the cultural itinerary of various cultural infrastructure in different regions of Québec.

  • Bicycle Tourism: on the Trail to Economic Development
    62 Prairie Perspectives Bicycle tourism: on the trail to economic development Jeff Pratte, University of Winnipeg Abstract: Bicycle tourism has remained on the fringes of the North American tourism industry while it has been in the European mainstream. A recent increase in bicycle tourism in Canada and the United States, however, has brought this phenomenon to the attention of many jurisdictions, and they are viewing cyclists as a potentially lucrative clientele. Minnesota began developing a system of bikeways in the 1970s and several trails in their system have developed into popular tourist draws and bicycle tourism has been seen as a great success. This paper discusses the essential ingredients of bicycle tourism and examines the role of trails in tourism development using Minnesota as a case study. Introduction A long-time tourism staple in many European countries, bicycle tourism is emerging in North America as a popular and economically viable market. This growth has been restricted to a few geographical areas, and in many cases has been focused around trail networks. According to Lumsdon (2000) there is an increasing latent demand in North America for bicycle tourism, although it has only been successfully developed in a few North American jurisdictions, including Minnesota Traditionally the mainstream has consumed a mass tourism product based on regeneration and relaxation that has often focused on “sun, sand and sex” tourism or a commercialized version of an area’s history and culture. These forms of tourism are generally associated with high costs to host communities, either of a social or environmental nature. In recent decades, however, there has been a change in the market as a public that is better traveled and more discerning is demanding more variety in tourist needs, types and patterns.
