What about trampolines on the lake?

According to the Municipal Zoning By-law, 2013-060 (Section 158), a dock or raft (the definition of raft includes water trampolines) is permitted as an accessory equipment to all residential use classes. An application for an accessory equipment permits from the Urban Planning Department is required prior to installation. The by-law sets out rules of application with respect to number, location, size, maintenance, environment, and safety.

In short, if there is a raft, a launching ramp, or a trampoline in addition to the dock, the sum of the surface areas of all these accessory equipment’s must not exceed 32.5 m2.

Quebec Week for the Disabled

The Semaine québécoise des personnes handicapées is celebrated from June 1st to 7^th, 2023. The spokesperson for the Week, Rosalie Taillefer-Simard, and the ambassador, Luca Patuelli, invite you to highlight this edition under the theme “Contribute 100%”.

Did you know that more than one million people have a significant and persistent disability that makes them likely to encounter barriers in carrying out their activities? Society is not always adapted to their needs. This is why the Semaine québécoise des personnes handicapées highlights the challenges that still exist. It highlights the actions that must be taken to make our world more inclusive. Because even today, we must continue to act to improve the social participation of people with disabilities.

All actions taken count more than you can imagine, whether they are individual or collective. Recognize the range of abilities of people with disabilities so that they can exercise full power over their lives. Take every opportunity to reduce the barriers they face.

Your caring and actions can help a person become involved in society, be independent, take their place and feel good about themselves.

In a more inclusive world, people with disabilities can achieve. Let them contribute to 100% of their abilities!

Dandelion Challenge – A perfect excuse to postpone lawn mowing!

We invite you to join the efforts of other municipalities and let your dandelions grow for a month to help our local pollinators after a particularly harsh winter. Dandelions, the first flowers to bloom in the spring, are an important source of pollen and nectar for the survival of these insects: the mortality rate of honeybees has more than doubled this year, from 20-30% to 65% in some hives.

Dandelions are also good for humans! Try them as a spring green to replace spinach in any dish.
