Time Change<\/h3>\n

Daylight saving time will be the second Sunday of March, on the night of March 11 to 12, 2023. The time change allows us to reduce our energy consumption by extending the period of sunshine at the end of the day by one hour!<\/p>\n

It’s also an opportune time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors!<\/p>\n

Activities on Frozen Streams<\/h3>\n

Due to the large variety of temperatures, we experience each year, many streams will not freeze completely and can be risky during the winter. Before venturing out on a waterway, it is important to take the necessary precautions.<\/p>\n

Observe the color of the ice, blue and clear ice is usually stronger. White and opaque ice contains a high portion of surface area, as its resistance depends upon its density. Grey ice usually contains a portion of water, following a thaw for example, and is considered dangerous. No type of ice is 100% safe.<\/p>\n

It is also recommended never to venture alone on a frozen lake.<\/p>\n

Quebec Waste Reduction Week year-round fot 2023<\/h3>\n

This year, the Quebec Waste Reduction Week will take place throughout the year. Each month, a theme is addressed, in February it is packaging!<\/p>\n

According to the latest data from RECYCLE-QU\u00c9BEC, 47% of the materials recovered by municipal collection are recycled. We must continue our efforts and over-packaging is an issue. When you shop at the grocery store, you buy products that are wrapped in plastic, glass, cardboard, and metal. Some packaging are recyclable, some are not, and much of it is single use.<\/p>\n

Why do we do this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To reduce our ecological footprint, to avoid wasting natural resources, to leave a healthy planet for future generations… or to avoid having to take out a full recycling bin every two weeks! Remembering the reason behind our daily efforts helps us keep good habits.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>How can we do this? <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are already used to bringing your own bags to your favorite grocery store, get reusable and washable bags for your fruits and vegetables for example. This avoids the use of small single-use bags.<\/p>\n

Visit a zero-waste retailer and be surprised by the different products they have to offer.<\/p>\n

Sport Fishing – Reminder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sport fishing in Quebec is regulated by the Minist\u00e8re des For\u00eats, Faunes et Parcs<\/em>. Lake Manitou is in an area that completely prohibits sport fishing in winter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0However, to find out where it is possible to practice sport fishing in winter, consult the following site:<\/p>\n

Snow on my roof, how should I proceed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The amount of snow accumulating on a roof will vary depending upon the position of the house in relation to its environment.\u00a0 In some cases, the snow may never need to be removed.\u00a0 In the event that snow accumulation is significant, particularly during periods of thaw or during an ice storm, the load increases considerably and the natural drainage of the roof may be compromised by ice formation, thus requiring certain steps to be undertaken.<\/p>\n

As a preventative measure and as well as for everyone’s safety, the R\u00e9gie du b\u00e2timent du Qu\u00e9bec recommends the following measures to homeowners:<\/p>\n
