1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,520
So, I officially declared the meeting open at 7.30. Je declare la séance ouvert et je vais passer le micro à conseilleur Caron pour l'adoption de l'ordre de jour.

2
00:00:13,940 --> 00:00:20,480
I move to adopt the agenda of the regular council meeting of Tuesday, September 8, 2026 as drafted.

3
00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:25,460
Second, please. Thank you, Councillor Chartrand. All in favour? Perfect.

4
00:00:25,460 --> 00:00:32,420
Now we're at the first period of questions. We're at first question period. So as always,

5
00:00:32,660 --> 00:00:38,480
as usual, if you have a question that is not on the agenda, you can present it to the

6
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:45,420
microphone with your name and your question. If you want to explain a little before

7
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:51,040
asking your question, you're welcome. And after that, if you have a sub-question,

8
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:57,700
You're welcome to come to the microphone if you have a question that is not on the agenda.

9
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,700
That's how first question period works.

10
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:03,100
Your name, your address, and your question.

11
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:06,380
And if you have a preamble, you're welcome to it.

12
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,080
And you're welcome to a sub-question on the same topic if you don't feel that you

13
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,700
have received an adequate response.

14
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:16,880
So be my guest.

15
00:01:22,890 --> 00:01:23,470
Good evening.

16
00:01:23,470 --> 00:01:24,890
Good evening.

17
00:01:25,450 --> 00:01:30,630
My name is Hugh Opton.

18
00:01:31,430 --> 00:01:33,950
I live at 678 Surrey.

19
00:01:35,110 --> 00:01:36,430
That is Maxwell.

20
00:01:37,290 --> 00:01:39,550
Resident, senior resident.

21
00:01:41,290 --> 00:01:49,170
And I also represent the, or I'm the chair,

22
00:01:49,170 --> 00:01:58,430
Chairman, Chairperson of the Maxwell Residence Council that represented 110 of the residents.

23
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,700
I'm having a little bit of the light to be here.

24
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:22,260
Recently, the new owner of the Maxwell unilaterally removed approximately 20 residence blockers

25
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:34,100
and converted the area into a hair-dressing salon while simultaneously

26
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:41,800
The lights, I'm sorry, it's just because it's a little dark in here and I know Mr. Upton was, is that better?

27
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,780
Awesome. Thank you. Thank you, Nicholas.

28
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,640
Yeah,

29
00:02:52,330 --> 00:03:01,910
she's simultaneously, and in this adjacent area, created a one of us bar, offering beauty

30
00:03:02,110 --> 00:03:08,110
services to clients other than the residents of Maxwell.

31
00:03:09,450 --> 00:03:20,710
The promotion of this can be found on Facebook under the title Maison Oolong and that is

32
00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:34,090
spelled Maison because Oolong is double O-L-O-N-G. Now my question to the council is does the

33
00:03:34,090 --> 00:03:44,750
current zoning law permits this facility, in this instance, the senior residence, to enable

34
00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:53,630
and offer commercial services to non-residents of the facility. In other words, outsiders.

35
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:10,250
If this is a violation of a bylaw, or bylaws, what steps can and will be initiated by council

36
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:13,090
to the infraction?

37
00:04:16,190 --> 00:04:18,610
That is my question.

38
00:04:19,070 --> 00:04:24,130
Okay. Well, first of all, thank you very much for coming out this evening. I'm happy to see the walkway

39
00:04:24,130 --> 00:04:30,050
being done because that's the last time we saw you and we actioned it and so thank you so much for

40
00:04:30,050 --> 00:04:37,710
coming out and speaking. I might defer some to Mr. Bouchard but to answer your question does the

41
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:45,830
zoning currently permit commercial? Currently the zoning is for a senior's residence and with

42
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:55,570
that there are accessory services that they can provide to their residents. The details of

43
00:04:55,570 --> 00:05:02,270
exactly how that works with an RPA would fall to the administration in the urban planning department

44
00:05:02,270 --> 00:05:09,570
to look into. The second part of your question is if there is a violation, what would council

45
00:05:09,570 --> 00:05:17,870
do. So council discusses and sets the bylaws for zoning and permitted uses

46
00:05:17,870 --> 00:05:22,750
and not and it is the role of administration to oversee the

47
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:28,750
implementation of those bylaws. It does not fall into the council to we don't

48
00:05:28,750 --> 00:05:37,570
handle the day-to-day operational side of it. It's more a question of adopting

49
00:05:37,570 --> 00:05:43,710
the bylaws how we feel that this town should be run. These bylaws do predate this council.

50
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:49,810
So thank you very much for bringing the question forward. If you have anything you would like

51
00:05:49,810 --> 00:05:51,550
to add in compliment, Mr. Bouchard?

52
00:05:54,250 --> 00:05:57,130
Just one minute, Mr. Alton, please.

53
00:05:57,130 --> 00:06:03,090
In this case, I will just add some elements to the subject.

54
00:06:05,890 --> 00:06:14,110
Les usages complémentaires, so complementary uses are authorized in NRPA.

55
00:06:15,010 --> 00:06:21,970
It has to be services provided to the people that rents or live in the facility

56
00:06:21,970 --> 00:06:24,630
and technically their family.

57
00:06:24,630 --> 00:06:32,230
So, if you have somebody taking care of their mother or their son or whatever who lives

58
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:39,970
there and there's somebody cutting hair, technically the person helping is authorized to get her

59
00:06:39,970 --> 00:06:41,150
hair cut.

60
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:44,710
But that stops there.

61
00:06:45,090 --> 00:06:53,530
It should not be a commercial use that's aimed to have residents that don't live in the

62
00:06:53,530 --> 00:07:01,830
facility to be served because otherwise it becomes a commercial use and then

63
00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:09,430
the zoning doesn't meet it's not authorized so what what we will see if what

64
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:15,510
you say is is right and I'm not disputing that I haven't seen it with my own eyes

65
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:20,970
and neither have the inspectors but we will closely monitor this to see what

66
00:07:20,970 --> 00:07:29,030
kind of use is done there to see if it conforms. And one of the elements that we have to keep

67
00:07:29,030 --> 00:07:36,110
in mind is the security and the safety of the user of the building themselves. So, and

68
00:07:36,110 --> 00:07:41,950
I don't know how you could do that if there is not another door to have access to such

69
00:07:41,950 --> 00:07:48,190
facility and if everybody has to come up with a single front door. But again, I take

70
00:07:48,190 --> 00:07:56,770
good note of what you say and we'll keep this we'll monitor this closely just on

71
00:07:56,770 --> 00:08:04,770
a separate note actually two separate notes one relating to this the I believe

72
00:08:04,770 --> 00:08:12,250
there I'm told and I have not seen it with my own eyes that there is to be a

73
00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:20,110
grand opening, close on quote, on September the 17th. Now what that entails, I don't know,

74
00:08:20,290 --> 00:08:27,790
but there will probably be a demonstration or evidence of, well, there'll be public interest,

75
00:08:28,310 --> 00:08:34,190
but I don't think anybody necessarily will be availing themselves of the services during

76
00:08:34,190 --> 00:08:40,190
a grand opening. That said, I would like to take this opportunity, if I may, to

77
00:08:40,190 --> 00:08:49,310
thank the council and the public works for the reconstruction of the sidewalk

78
00:08:49,310 --> 00:08:57,050
between Churchill and Morgan. This is greatly appreciated by the residents

79
00:08:57,050 --> 00:09:04,550
and will make walking the walking effort so much easier for these old people

80
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:15,790
who are now one year older than the initial request. The public service initiative anyway

81
00:09:15,790 --> 00:09:24,510
is greatly appreciated by the Maxwell residents and I'm probably sure that by the other residents

82
00:09:24,510 --> 00:09:28,470
on Surrey as well. Thank you. Thank you very much.

83
00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:51,680
I have a very quick question if the town is envisaging to develop like many other municipalities

84
00:09:51,680 --> 00:10:01,200
an AI policy, not by laws but policies, like for example, Beaumont or others, and especially

85
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:09,760
in regard to law 25 privacy laws. It's a matter of transparency and oversight and data protection.

86
00:10:10,340 --> 00:10:14,900
So I just wanted to know if this has been discussed. Thank you. Thank you for your question.

87
00:10:16,980 --> 00:10:22,520
Council hasn't just had that topic at the table. It's interesting that you brought it up because

88
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:28,040
I had written myself a note as one of the many things that I bring to Nicholas on a daily

89
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,920
basis to talk about but I haven't had a chance to discuss that with him but I know that he has been

90
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:41,560
working with his team testing out the waters on AI and lots of towns have gone full force into

91
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:47,140
AI very quickly. I'm kind of surprised but I'll let you speak to your approach.

92
00:10:49,570 --> 00:10:55,810
Thank you Madam Mayor. Thank you for the question. I indeed have an active AI committee

93
00:10:55,810 --> 00:11:01,970
that's been looking at this for the last two years. Many departments are

94
00:11:01,970 --> 00:11:08,010
represented to look out at what are currently the best practices throughout

95
00:11:08,010 --> 00:11:14,490
North America I'm gonna say because we know of very good policies that were

96
00:11:14,490 --> 00:11:20,370
adopted in the town of Boston that's one of them if you want to look it up but

97
00:11:20,370 --> 00:11:27,450
But we are definitely going to have to adopt one, mainly because towns are faced with the

98
00:11:27,450 --> 00:11:29,810
protection of information of what we have.

99
00:11:30,450 --> 00:11:36,990
And in order to feed an AI system, you have to feed it with data that are sometimes protected

100
00:11:36,990 --> 00:11:40,810
and you get into a very gray zone.

101
00:11:41,370 --> 00:11:44,850
So eventually we will have to adopt a policy to deal with that.

102
00:11:47,450 --> 00:11:48,430
Thank you for your question.

103
00:11:49,530 --> 00:11:58,170
Susan Hocker, 20787 Lakeshore. I sit on the Environmental Advisory Committee and Heidi

104
00:11:58,170 --> 00:12:05,470
has suggested that I come to council to raise my other concerns because we have a mandate that

105
00:12:05,470 --> 00:12:14,830
we're doing very well with. We're rewilding the hydroline area and it's coming along beautifully.

106
00:12:14,830 --> 00:12:18,990
So thank you to Wanda and Maggie and Heidi. Thank you.

107
00:12:20,410 --> 00:12:24,030
So the issues that I have to, I'd like to raise.

108
00:12:24,850 --> 00:12:34,330
As you know, in 2006 with Maria Tatino was here, we tried to raise the concept of bicycle pass.

109
00:12:35,470 --> 00:12:43,530
The up and vertical streets north and south are fine like you can drive a bicycle safely on those streets.

110
00:12:43,530 --> 00:12:52,410
It's the three horizontal streets, Lakeshore, Victoria, and Surrey that are most challenging.

111
00:12:54,330 --> 00:12:58,990
And given climate change, we do want to, I would like to think Council would like to

112
00:12:58,990 --> 00:13:02,350
encourage more people to use their bikes and use less cars.

113
00:13:02,510 --> 00:13:09,810
If there was a safe, I know at my age, and certainly with, I see people with kids on

114
00:13:09,810 --> 00:13:10,130
biking.

115
00:13:11,870 --> 00:13:18,950
And especially as on Victoria with three schools, it would make sense to have a bike path. I

116
00:13:18,950 --> 00:13:24,570
saw that we're doing the pedestrian path on Surrey, but that's not wide enough, I guess,

117
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:31,630
for bikes. It should have been, I think. It would have been nice if it was, since 20 years ago,

118
00:13:31,710 --> 00:13:38,150
we started talking about bike paths. So it would be lovely if there was a proper safe route,

119
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:40,770
because there are a lot of bicyclists that take that food.

120
00:13:43,050 --> 00:13:45,570
And it leads perfectly to the little

121
00:13:45,570 --> 00:13:52,390
paths that are at the west end of the town. So that was one issue. That was 20 years ago.

122
00:13:52,590 --> 00:13:59,810
We had a whole campaign. We pulled the whole town. The majority suggested we needed a bike path,

123
00:14:00,190 --> 00:14:06,870
and Maria Tutino said, no, not my mandate. Will we do that? I figured it just took time,

124
00:14:06,870 --> 00:14:11,910
but we still haven't done it. So I'm just reiterating. So that's my first issue.

125
00:14:14,590 --> 00:14:21,530
And I'll expect an answer at some point. Well, I can speak to it in a very small way. Of course,

126
00:14:21,630 --> 00:14:26,610
some people around this table were not around the table when we worked on the Surrey project.

127
00:14:27,490 --> 00:14:35,530
The engineer did propose options to try and accommodate a bike path on Surrey when we

128
00:14:35,530 --> 00:14:44,510
re-did that project and it was not approved by council. Other streets like Lakeshore and Victoria,

129
00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:51,130
the challenges are different in the sense that we would have to look at expropriating land from

130
00:14:51,130 --> 00:14:59,970
homeowners, which... There are ways that if you... Because we're now...

131
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,260
Yeah, I want to thank you, first of all, for bringing it up again so this council can hear

132
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,000
from others.

133
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:16,920
And the second issue is the hazardous waste. So thank you for this Saturday coming. They're

134
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,880
having paper shredding and tires and electronics.

135
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:29,980
Being at this end of the island, we're not

136
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:32,520
required to go to Saint Laurent or La Salle.

137
00:15:33,420 --> 00:15:36,340
And it's just, if you want to make people

138
00:15:36,340 --> 00:15:39,440
to actually do the right thing, it helps if it's easy.

139
00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:42,700
Currently, I take my corks to Point Claire.

140
00:15:42,980 --> 00:15:45,300
I take my pill bottles to Merging Waters.

141
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,620
I take my cyrofoam to Point Claire.

142
00:15:49,180 --> 00:15:51,540
I take my dental stuff to Beaconsville Library.

143
00:15:53,220 --> 00:15:56,900
I take my light bulbs to Rona and paint.

144
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,920
If there was one spot, and I have forwarded that to the environmental committee in St.

145
00:16:07,020 --> 00:16:11,700
Jerome, there's planning a place where people can actually bring everything.

146
00:16:11,940 --> 00:16:14,340
It would be nice to have something on the West Island.

147
00:16:14,820 --> 00:16:15,700
We need to do that.

148
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:17,920
So thank you very much.

149
00:16:17,980 --> 00:16:22,740
And to clarify, because Mrs. Susan sits, lots of topics get brought up.

150
00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:29,600
the, when we have committees, those people are passionate about the topic. We try and

151
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,940
give space around that table to let committee members raise those points. However, we work

152
00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:41,920
on mandates. So, as Mrs. Hawker said, we have a mandate that Maggie and Wanda have

153
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,500
been working on together with the Environment Committee, and I tend many, not all the meetings.

154
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,700
But when topics like this get brought up, while we do have a discussion, I encourage

155
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:56,780
people to bring it forward to all of council. So that's why thank you very much for coming out

156
00:16:56,780 --> 00:17:03,040
tonight. For those of you who know, we used to have a hazardous waste pickup through the agglomeration

157
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,120
of Montreal, who's responsible for disposing of hazardous waste. And in my humble opinion,

158
00:17:08,220 --> 00:17:21,640
in a very short-sighted last-minute decision at the last budget cycle, we were notified at the

159
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:28,520
So we're legally not allowed to dispose of it, even if we wanted to.

160
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:34,860
I know Mr. Bouchard is following it with other towns to see what they're doing because, again,

161
00:17:35,180 --> 00:17:37,880
we know that there are other towns who are doing it.

162
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,820
Technically, unless they have an agreement with Montreal,

163
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:49,360
their councils could be brought to a commission because it's an agglomeration responsibility.

164
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:55,320
It's not a municipal responsibility, but I don't want you to think that you're here tonight

165
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,420
following on deaf ears.

166
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,620
It's something that I know I'm very passionate about and I know many around this table are.

167
00:18:01,220 --> 00:18:03,680
I don't know if you have any information yet.

168
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,560
You're following it, but we want to see how it's going because, as I mentioned to Susan,

169
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,140
if we did get approval and Montreal agrees to come pick it up, if they don't pick

170
00:18:14,140 --> 00:18:18,260
it up right away, we could be putting our whole town at a risk by having an area in

171
00:18:18,260 --> 00:18:22,800
our town that has a concentration of hazardous waste which we weren't

172
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:23,520
comfortable with.

173
00:18:25,780 --> 00:18:29,680
That was exactly the point I wanted to make so we where we

174
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:35,620
stand right now is that and every municipality is dealing with the same

175
00:18:35,620 --> 00:18:37,020
problem so is Dorval.

176
00:18:39,260 --> 00:18:42,500
Dorval's DG had the mandate from their council to

177
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:48,120
build one for Dorval residents only but he's dealing with the same issue which

178
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:53,540
which is you cannot dispose of the waste you collected because that's an aglo-responsibility,

179
00:18:53,780 --> 00:18:55,200
so Montreal has to do it.

180
00:18:55,820 --> 00:19:04,000
The problem is if you have an event that's, let's say, set on a Saturday or a Sunday and

181
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:10,260
Montreal is supposed to pick them up on the Monday and they don't, you need to secure

182
00:19:10,260 --> 00:19:18,300
this stuff in the hazard protected that meets the code type of thing and we are we are incapable

183
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:26,120
of storing this anywhere and we don't want to store this. So the issue is can Montreal commit

184
00:19:26,740 --> 00:19:32,920
to a date and commit to a date which would be a date for it could be a joint date for many

185
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:39,440
municipalities so we're sure that on the money on the Monday this stuff goes out then we could

186
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:47,540
be coming back at it with a regular event or a different at a location if there was a location

187
00:19:47,540 --> 00:19:53,500
on the West Island. Yes, that's another topic that I'm currently discussing with Montreal's

188
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:58,040
DG preference. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much.

189
00:20:04,020 --> 00:20:12,800
Farzat Shujaitu, I know a quick question regarding the flood zone map. Recently the government

190
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:24,480
posted a new flood zone map on their website, which shows many, many, many, all those water

191
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,940
front properties are affected.

192
00:20:28,980 --> 00:20:36,000
In 2017 and 2019, I do not recall, there were a couple

193
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:43,480
of them, they were flooded, but not many of them. They stopped the implementation of that

194
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,920
flood zone map and on their website they say that they are in discussions with municipalities.

195
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,560
So I'm just wondering if you can give us an update.

196
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,000
There you go.

197
00:20:57,460 --> 00:21:05,880
Well, the last discussion we had was with the Montreal community, the CMM, and they have

198
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:11,100
the responsibility to approve the maps for the greater Montreal region.

199
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:19,900
And the last map that I saw that was shared with me from the CMM, we had none of the

200
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:27,600
properties in better faith that would be affected only some backyards in in a couple of residences

201
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:41,380
but that was it so I am very curious of what you've seen yes please okay there were some that like

202
00:21:41,380 --> 00:21:48,620
mr. Bush said that touch touch some property lines a plus Wilson there's a house under construction

203
00:21:48,620 --> 00:21:53,300
That shows the entire lot that is on the flood zone.

204
00:21:54,020 --> 00:21:55,420
I checked it two days ago.

205
00:21:55,660 --> 00:21:58,640
I know Mr. Bouchard can double check this, but I did see an e-m-

206
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,200
I can make a screenshot and send it to you.

207
00:22:02,420 --> 00:22:03,100
Thank you.

208
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,960
I did see that the CMM has requested from Quebec to put a hold on these flood zone maps,

209
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,180
so whether Quebec went ahead and released it without the CMM's approval,

210
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:20,560
That would be to validate, but nobody's home was under water the last time we were given the map.

211
00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:22,440
Thank you for raising it.

212
00:22:24,830 --> 00:22:25,570
Any other questions?

213
00:22:31,010 --> 00:22:31,590
Thank you.

214
00:22:40,420 --> 00:22:41,620
So we continue.

215
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,860
Our commander is not here tonight.

216
00:22:44,180 --> 00:22:49,500
So we go to the report of the councilors on the activities of the city, the council reports.

217
00:22:50,180 --> 00:22:54,740
And we have two reports, one from Councillor Brown and then from Councillor Lowenstein.

218
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:57,580
And then we will continue on with the meeting, Councillor Brown.

219
00:22:58,760 --> 00:22:59,520
Thank you.

220
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,280
I'd like to give the Public Safety Report for the month of August.

221
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:07,100
And I'll begin with the Emergency Measures Committee.

222
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,280
The Emergency Measures, excuse me, Emergency Measures Committee met in August.

223
00:23:12,740 --> 00:23:20,840
And we rescheduled the simulation event that we mentioned in July to be held at the Red Barn

224
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:27,480
and the Public Works Building from October 3rd to October 24th due to preparations for the Quebec

225
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:33,780
Collections on the first weekend of October. There are a number of volunteers that will likely be

226
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:39,640
working at the polls and having training so we need them for the simulation events so we decided

227
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:46,020
to move everything later in the month on the 24th and the purpose of this event is to validate

228
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:52,600
our town's response plan and work together with volunteers to practice command and coordination

229
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:59,180
and build the skills needed to handle real-life emergencies. So that will be on October 24th.

230
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:06,060
Now I'll move on to Sovatesh Bidurfi rescue and their activity report for August.

231
00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:14,120
So the rescue squad provided 470 combined volunteer hours in August. It was a busy month

232
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:20,400
for them. And these are the highlights. On August 1st, the rescue squad hosted the annual

233
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:26,560
vintage car show. And I think a number of you are there. I noticed a few faces of people

234
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:34,560
that were there. I was there too. And it was a good day. And they had this year, I believe

235
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:40,260
it was 127 cars. I didn't count them, but that was the number that I saw. And a very

236
00:24:40,260 --> 00:24:46,140
nice sunny day and very well attended event, so that that was successful. Thank you to the Rescue

237
00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:53,360
Squad. And on August the 8th, the Rescue Squad participated in the local missing person search

238
00:24:53,360 --> 00:25:00,760
in our town. Also on August the 8th, the Squad provided first aid presence at the Beta Aquatics

239
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:06,620
Club. They had a tournament. On August the 8th and 9th, the Squad provided first aid presence

240
00:25:06,620 --> 00:25:14,480
for the Sean Bradwell softball tournament covering four ballparks on that Saturday of the weekend.

241
00:25:15,260 --> 00:25:22,280
This tournament has been held each year since 1989 and takes place in Kirkland and raises money for

242
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:33,320
the Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation. On August 8th as well the squad participated in the

243
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:39,960
It's a big event in Pencor and the rescue squad has been invited there for many years,

244
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,260
as long as I can remember, so that will be over 20 years.

245
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:49,060
On August the 14th to 16th, the squad provided for a state presence at the annual Montreal

246
00:25:49,060 --> 00:25:50,700
Ribfest in Pierre-Fal.

247
00:25:51,980 --> 00:25:58,120
On August the 22nd, the rescue squad provided a first state presence at the St. Ann de Bellevue

248
00:25:58,120 --> 00:25:58,960
Garlic Festival.

249
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:05,900
This event is now in its 18th year and brought together over 5,000 people this year coming

250
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:09,000
and going to St. Anne Village and the new Boardwalk.

251
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,880
And on August the 27th, the Rescue Squad held their Executive Committee meeting.

252
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:20,980
Now for the citizens on patrol, they will be providing a combined report for us to

253
00:26:20,980 --> 00:26:23,920
deliver at our next Council meeting in October.

254
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,760
And that concludes my report.

255
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:33,100
So, for anybody who was listening, so on October 24th, if you see a whole bunch of people running

256
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:36,600
around town and it looks like there's an emergency, there really is no emergency.

257
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,780
It's just going to be a simulation.

258
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,100
Councillor Lohenstein.

259
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,360
Thank you.

260
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,800
So I have a few items on recreation to report on.

261
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:55,240
First of all, on behalf of council, I would like to congratulate the Bader Faye Aquatic

262
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:01,320
Club on an excellent competitive season. The swim team, the diving team, the artistic swimming

263
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:07,000
synchro team, and the water polo team all did exceptionally well. Details are in this

264
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,820
month's news and views, if you haven't already seen them. But I would like to especially

265
00:27:10,820 --> 00:27:17,080
mention that the swim team not only went undefeated all season, but also won Section

266
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:23,620
B finals at home and has moved back up to Division A level. So very well done for a swim team.

267
00:27:24,740 --> 00:27:29,960
Now with summer sports behind us, we can look forward to winter sports and the Bay Durfee

268
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:37,980
curling club has its open house on October 4th. If you haven't tried curling before,

269
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:44,820
this is a great opportunity to check it out. The Junior Council is coming back from its

270
00:27:44,820 --> 00:27:53,960
summer vacation and on Thursday September 17th from 5.30 to 7 p.m. at Town Hall we will have our

271
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,900
meeting and if you're between the ages of 10 and 17 you're welcome to attend to see what

272
00:27:59,900 --> 00:28:05,320
junior council is all about. This is a great time to get started with the junior council if

273
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,680
you haven't been before because it's the start of the not the start of the year but start of the

274
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:15,660
school year which is very important for that age group. So please email me if you

275
00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:20,920
would like to attend. Finally the youth games night is also back from summer

276
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,260
break and if we're changing things up a little bit this year games night will

277
00:28:26,260 --> 00:28:32,420
have different a different theme and activity each month. September 25th will

278
00:28:32,420 --> 00:28:37,600
be indoor board games and pick up basketball outdoors. October games night

279
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,740
will be a game of capture the ghost outside, sort of like capture the flag, but capture

280
00:28:42,740 --> 00:28:43,160
the ghost.

281
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,180
So keep your eye on the news and views for further details.

282
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:52,400
Games Night, as always, is open to beta or for youth between the ages of 10 and 17,

283
00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:56,040
and you can bring a friend or two to enjoy the fun.

284
00:28:56,620 --> 00:28:56,960
Thank you.

285
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,060
Sorry, that would be a friend or two from out of town.

286
00:29:02,140 --> 00:29:03,280
Thank you, Councillor Lonson.

287
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:09,940
what's really lovely is how much involvement the Junior Council have. Games Night has evolved.

288
00:29:10,420 --> 00:29:15,440
It was originally a suggestion by Junior Council, and it was really a board game.

289
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:22,140
And over time as children, youth, I shouldn't say children, age out and new youth come in.

290
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,780
Sometimes the differences,

291
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:29,140
you see differences, we all know for those who have children,

292
00:29:29,140 --> 00:29:34,420
every every child is different and this group tended to want to do things that

293
00:29:34,420 --> 00:29:40,280
were more physically active so again it was all it wasn't adults deciding for

294
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,380
youth what they're going to do this was all done in great collaboration so

295
00:29:44,380 --> 00:29:52,540
thank you for that. My pleasure. So that's the end of the report. So let's continue. I'm going to pass the microphone to

296
00:29:52,540 --> 00:29:57,520
conseillère Caron pour l'approbation du process verbal.

297
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,320
Je propose d'approuver la Processe Verbale de la Science Ordinaire du conseil municipal tenu le 11 août 2020-06.

298
00:30:07,740 --> 00:30:13,540
Merci pour appuyer. Thank you. Councillor Shelton, all in favor. Thank you.

299
00:30:15,740 --> 00:30:22,200
Maintenant, on continue avec l'administration et je passe le micro et conseillère pagée.

300
00:30:24,660 --> 00:30:26,620
Merci madame M.R.S.

00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:45,940
Whereas in consideration of a project construct new picket ball courts, the town authorized by resolution number 202605109 a preliminary acoustic study considering the desire for transparency.

302
00:30:47,780 --> 00:30:53,600
therefore une table de l'acoustique étudiant des courts de piquots degré,

303
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,320
produisible par le quartier à l'avenir, à la suite de l'Aqeureux 2026 en Argyz.

304
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,920
Merci le conseiller Pagez.

305
00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:05,240
Alors j'ai δ'autant le microphone et puis, je passerai au Mr Bouchard qui

00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:11,460
a suivi l'étudiant de l'acoustique, tomate matin, le rapport sera

307
00:31:11,460 --> 00:31:13,720
disponible en ligne pour tous les résidences,

308
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:35,080
Our town clerk did print out a few copies. It is in French, as is the law in Quebec to work in French with that external services. So there are several copies. There's not one per person, but we can certainly invite you to take a copy if you so choose to have a hard copy this evening.

309
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:41,360
Je vais passer le microphone à Mr. Bouchard pour une somme très courte. C'est une longue réplique.

310
00:31:42,740 --> 00:31:48,480
Il va en avoir le temps de déguster l'information, mais il va donner une somme et je vais prendre le microphone

311
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,100
pour une somme courte après.

312
00:31:55,060 --> 00:32:00,680
Merci. Je vais essayer de summariser cela comme rapidement possible.

313
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:17,000
Quand le mandat était donné à l'atelier Cetajed, il y avait un maximum dba limiter qui était demandé à les lignes propres pour être mettes.

314
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:25,880
Donc, ce qu'on a demandé, c'est de measure, faire leur étude, et le but c'est de réduire

315
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,520
l'élevé à 50 decibels à la ligne propres.

316
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,980
C'était ce que l'on demandait de la compagnie.

317
00:32:34,860 --> 00:32:44,180
En orderant à faire leur analyse, ils ont mis en place une mesure d'acoustique,

318
00:32:44,180 --> 00:32:51,400
une measurement dans une autre ville qui je ne vais pas mentionner pour les raisons de confidentialité pour cette ville

319
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,040
parce que je n'ai pas obtenu l'autorisation d'incliner leur nom dans cette ville.

320
00:32:56,140 --> 00:33:01,300
Mais une measurement a été faite dans une ville où il y avait six courts de balles de pique

321
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:12,440
sur le 3 juin et puis d'autres mesures étaient faites ici dans Bay d'Orphée.

322
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:22,600
Ils étaient à la site de measure le niveau de l'existence sur la période de 72 heures,

323
00:33:22,860 --> 00:33:23,800
incluant un weekend.

324
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:33,140
Ils ont fait des mesures où le pico-balle est currently played in beta-rpha.

325
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:46,060
et ce que les résultats ont fait, et puis ils ont simulé six différentes options avec,

326
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,680
en fait, huit, avec un nombre différent du quartier.

327
00:33:50,740 --> 00:33:55,280
Alors, on va dire que nous étions à construire un quartier, deux quartiers, trois quartiers,

328
00:33:55,460 --> 00:34:02,820
quatre quartiers, et puis le même chose, mais avec des mesures de protection du son sur la

329
00:34:02,820 --> 00:34:12,920
donc ce sont tous faits dans le étudiant, ce que l'étudiant montre c'est que dans l'endemain

330
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:21,200
les mesures entre un quart ou un quatre quart ne changent très beaucoup

331
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,800
sans aucune protection acoustique, donc si vous construisiez un quart

332
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:37,260
vous devez avoir de la protection de 55 decibels pour 1, et si vous construisiez 4, vous devez avoir de la protection de 59 decibels.

333
00:34:38,980 --> 00:34:47,060
Sur ces mêmes courts, si vous ajoutez la protection de la fenêtre pour réduire le son à la limite de la propriété,

334
00:34:47,940 --> 00:34:53,780
vous devez réduire si vous avez seulement une corde à 43 decibels,

335
00:34:53,780 --> 00:35:04,300
up to 49 dB if you have 4 quarts. So technically you could potentially reduce the sound and this is the

336
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:12,040
LAQ 12 hours and I'm going to talk to you what this measurement is just to understand. So technically

337
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:23,140
if you put protection on the fences you're able to meet the 50 dB requirement but there's a big

338
00:35:23,140 --> 00:35:32,180
si, parce que cela s'agit d'un son average sur une base de 12 heures, et ce que l'étudie

339
00:35:32,180 --> 00:35:38,940
aussi montre, c'est que cela n'a rien à faire avec l'impact de la brosse quand la

340
00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:41,280
balle s'attaque sur le raccord.

341
00:35:43,460 --> 00:35:54,440
La fréquence est appelée la laf max, qui est l'impact de l'impact du jeu, et c'est beaucoup plus

342
00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:04,700
plus haut. Ce n'est pas le nombre du quartier, parce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui a un balle de 1,6 ou 1,7 mètres

343
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:20,680
et ce n'est pas sans protection, c'est 63 decibels et avec une protection sur la fenêtre on

344
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:28,480
est capable de réduire ça à 52, donc on n'est pas capable de réduire l'impact de la

345
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,000
de 250 dB à la ligne de propriété.

346
00:36:36,220 --> 00:36:41,120
La conclusion des ingénieurs dans le reportage est que

347
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:50,180
l'implimation des balles piquées, où elles sont situées,

348
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,500
n'est pas la nécessité principalement

349
00:36:54,460 --> 00:36:56,960
parce que la proximité des résidences

350
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:02,720
et même si nous avons mis la protection du son de protection sur la fenêtre,

351
00:37:03,020 --> 00:37:07,840
nous sommes incapables de limiter la noise du impact sur cette particularité.

352
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,260
C'est ce que le rapport s'est dit.

353
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:12,900
Quoi que 2 décembre ?

354
00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:17,680
Quoi que 2 décembre est perceptible, oui.

355
00:37:19,540 --> 00:37:25,160
Il dit beaucoup plus dans le rapport parce que ça parle d'éloigner les heures,

356
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,440
et poursuivre les joueurs à jouer avec différents raccets,

357
00:37:30,380 --> 00:37:35,540
tous sortes de choses qui sont très difficiles à contrôler

358
00:37:35,540 --> 00:37:36,740
dans une longue période,

359
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,580
parce que les gens vont jouer avec tout ce qu'ils veulent jouer,

360
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,040
même si vous essayez de les faire jouer avec d'autres types de raccets.

361
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,660
Donc, c'est la conclusion du reportage.

362
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,120
Merci beaucoup, Mr. Bouchard.

363
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,740
Alors, en complément à ce que Mr. Bouchard a shared,

364
00:37:52,740 --> 00:38:00,020
Les gens, les humains, ils sont tous humains, ils tentent de lire les parts que ils sont les plus

365
00:38:00,020 --> 00:38:01,740
élevés dans les rapports.

366
00:38:01,940 --> 00:38:07,520
Donc, quelqu'un qui est un joueur de pique-au-balle peut lire ce rapport et peut s'en prendre.

367
00:38:07,980 --> 00:38:10,080
Ils ont été très proches.

368
00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:16,880
Et quelqu'un qui peut-être était très concerné avec ça, peut dire, peut dire,

369
00:38:17,020 --> 00:38:21,360
pas peut dire, mais peut dire, je savais que le conseil n'aurait jamais été

370
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:29,100
gone forward with this. The point of the exercise is to have data and to have an understanding of the impact of this.

371
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:38,400
So I'll let the people here and people at home get a chance to get online and read the report.

372
00:38:40,060 --> 00:38:50,140
But at this time, after council has seen the report, the decision was unanimous not to go forward with pickleball courts at that location.

373
00:38:50,140 --> 00:39:17,220
Furthermore, while each location is specific, so this report can't be used necessarily verbatim at another place because of the surroundings, what is clear are the locations that were considered as possibilities are very similar to the distance from people's homes as this location.

374
00:39:17,220 --> 00:39:20,040
Donc, où est-ce qu'il nous reste avec la balle de pique ?

375
00:39:21,060 --> 00:39:26,880
La porte est ferme et le conseil est très ouvert pour voir si il y a des sortes de compromises

376
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,660
qui peuvent être trouvées à l'existence.

377
00:39:29,860 --> 00:39:34,040
Les gens ont été joués, on n'a jamais eu des complétences sur la balle de pique.

378
00:39:34,220 --> 00:39:42,760
On réalise que ce n'est pas idéal et on veut toujours trouver des solutions pour les compromises.

379
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:49,340
Donc, si il y a des gens dans le groupe qui sont actifs et des joueurs qui ont des suggestions,

380
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:55,940
le Council reste ouvert à recevoir et à trouver si il y a des manières dans les locations

381
00:39:55,940 --> 00:40:02,500
où nous pouvons faire cela plus facilement pour des fois récréationaux.

382
00:40:06,460 --> 00:40:12,840
Je vais retourner le micro à conseillers pagés pour l'approbation de la liste des dépenses

383
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:19,820
pour le mois d'août 2026. Merci madame la mairesse. Je propose d'approver la liste des

384
00:40:19,820 --> 00:40:29,820
dépenses pour le mois d'août 2026 au montant de 152 451 $ et 28 sous avec les détails suivants.

385
00:40:29,820 --> 00:40:43,080
pour les chèques qui ont été mis 245.188 sous, les chèques annulés 10.015 $ et 37

386
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:54,120
sous, les dépôts assis haut de 291.186 et 95, et des billes directes 26.089 et 52 pour un

387
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:59,100
totale de 552 451 $ et 28 sous.

388
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:06,980
Thank you, Councillor Thomson. All in favor. To prove. Thank you. On continue les deux prochaines.

389
00:41:07,020 --> 00:41:14,560
The next two will be under public security and circulation and will be motioned by Councillor

390
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:20,220
Brown. The first being la recommandation du comité de circulation et des securités

391
00:41:20,220 --> 00:41:27,920
Utterre, un de nos commissaires, les commissaires qui incluisent l'officier de la trafication,

392
00:41:28,300 --> 00:41:33,220
le Président Brown, le Président Thomson, et aussi plusieurs citoyens. Je vais vous passer

393
00:41:33,220 --> 00:41:40,980
sur le micro-phone. Thank you. Whereas the Baderfee Traffic and Road Safety Advisory Committee

394
00:41:40,980 --> 00:41:49,940
was established, Resolution number 2018-04-95. And whereas committees serve as management tools

395
00:41:49,940 --> 00:41:55,760
pour la considération de la société publique et l'expertise de la société civale

396
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,320
en analysant les situations problématiques.

397
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,460
Et, d'ailleurs, la Committee de l'Adresse des Trois Trafices et de la Saisement et du Safé de l'Adresse

398
00:42:03,380 --> 00:42:05,580
a été installée par le Council municipal

399
00:42:06,220 --> 00:42:09,400
à sa rencontre sur 14 juillet 2026,

400
00:42:10,020 --> 00:42:13,900
et à sa rencontre sur 21 avril 2026,

401
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,800
la Committee de l'Adresse des Trois Trafices et de la Saisement et du Safé de la Saisement

402
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:34,500
Le Comité recommande que, pour élever la congestion et l'impassabilité du parquet sur les deux côtés de Dorset Road, les signes seraient installés à l'extérieur de Dorset,

403
00:42:34,860 --> 00:42:38,420
indiquant qu'il n'y a pas de stoppage à l'époque et de l'année prochaine.

404
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:48,100
2. Le comité recommande à le conseil de painter 30 km par heure les limites de vitesse directement sur les roues,

405
00:42:48,460 --> 00:42:53,840
sur Morgan et Lake Shore, dans les deux directions, indiquant les zones de vitesse de vitesse

406
00:42:54,320 --> 00:43:00,420
et clairement indiquant les exceptions pour les limites de vitesse de vitesse de 40 km par heure.

407
00:43:00,420 --> 00:43:01,980
speed limit across town.

408
00:43:02,940 --> 00:43:03,340
3.

409
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:09,860
The committee recommends that since our speed monitor was installed, but did not function,

410
00:43:10,620 --> 00:43:18,180
it was agreed to re erect a monitor on Magnolia Road to collect traffic speed data and also

411
00:43:18,180 --> 00:43:22,920
at the intersection of Clark Graham and Morgan Road North in the industrial park.

412
00:43:25,770 --> 00:43:32,930
Therefore, I move to approve the recommendations of the Traffic and Road Safety Advisory Committee.

413
00:43:33,590 --> 00:43:38,690
Thank you. Counselor de second, second. Thank you. Just in compliment before I ask for the vote.

414
00:43:39,150 --> 00:43:48,830
On Dorset Street, well, several of these, they're all based on citizens coming forward with a concern that they have brought to council.

415
00:43:48,830 --> 00:44:01,110
Specifically, I wanted to speak to Dorset because it was brought to us by a resident who lives on Dorset and we love the fact that we have all this green space to let youth and Lakeshore soccer use our fields.

416
00:44:01,590 --> 00:44:09,450
However, it got to a point and we saw lots of photos over the entire summer of parents. Let's face it, we all have been there.

417
00:44:10,090 --> 00:44:14,330
Not necessarily making the best parking choices because it's not the kids who are doing it.

418
00:44:14,330 --> 00:44:27,870
Et c'est un problème, on parle d'un parc de biais, on a des gens qui parkent sur les deux côtés de la route et Dieu forbid qu'il y ait une émergence où un véhicule de l'émergence n'était pas très confortable de voir.

419
00:44:28,150 --> 00:44:38,610
Donc, on espère que ce sera le problème et merci à la Commissaire Trafic, nous avons un officier du SPVM qui est spécialisé en trafic et la circulation de la route.

420
00:44:39,370 --> 00:44:42,910
Merci pour organiser ça et pour la Commissaire.

421
00:44:42,910 --> 00:44:52,450
All in favor? Thank you, approved. Next, Councillor Brown will continue with Road Safety Week 2026.

422
00:44:53,090 --> 00:44:59,970
Thank you. Whereas Rail Safety Week is to be held across Canada from September 21 to 20.

423
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:09,740
27th, 2026. Whereas 252 railway crossing and trespassing incidents occurred in Canada in 2023,

424
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:18,520
resulting in 69 fatalities and 60 avoidable serious injuries. Whereas educating and informing

425
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:24,880
the public about rail safety, such as reminding the public that railway rights of way are private

426
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:30,240
property, enhancing public awareness of the dangers associated with highway

427
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:34,960
rail-grade crossings, ensuring pedestrians and motorists are looking and

428
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:40,560
listening while near railways, and obeying established traffic laws, will

429
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,800
reduce the number of avoidable fatalities and injuries caused by

430
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:50,760
incidents involving trains and citizens. And whereas Operation Lifesaver, excuse

431
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:55,460
is a public-private partnership whose aim is to work with the public,

432
00:45:56,020 --> 00:46:01,500
real industry, governments, police services, media, and others to raise real

433
00:46:01,500 --> 00:46:07,920
safety awareness and whereas CN and Operation Lifesaver have requested City

434
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,820
Council adopt this resolution in support of its ongoing efforts to raise

435
00:46:12,820 --> 00:46:18,100
awareness, save lives, and prevent injuries in communities including our

436
00:46:18,100 --> 00:46:25,820
municipality. I move to support the efforts of CN and Operation Lifesaver by proclaiming

437
00:46:25,820 --> 00:46:33,820
the week of September 21st to 27th, 2026 Railway Safety Week and by promoting railway safety

438
00:46:33,820 --> 00:46:35,820
on our social media networks.

439
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,300
Thank you, a seconder. I'll second that. Thank you. So, I want to say

440
00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:46,980
thank you to Justin Mark, a communications person who has been working on this. So,

441
00:46:46,980 --> 00:46:52,640
So thank you for his support and I also want to say in compliment to this because it's

442
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:59,620
more than just a resolution and I know a month or two ago I had asked council to give support

443
00:46:59,620 --> 00:47:06,560
to Montreal West which is not in our territory but has a school that is very a magnet school

444
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:11,700
of Royal West Academy and I have to say today when I was going through Facebook, so

445
00:47:11,700 --> 00:47:16,280
everybody was pushing, the parent committee was pushing, we were supporting our residents

446
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:23,420
who were reaching out to us. And the mayor of Pierre-Fawn Rocksboro, Jim Base, who works on the

447
00:47:23,420 --> 00:47:31,200
security, he felt a lot of good pressure, but that's the way things get happened at the

448
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,600
agglomeration level. Even the children who had been hit by vehicles showed up at the meeting

449
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:41,040
and were voices. It wasn't just a, you know, a handwritten question. All that to say,

450
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:48,240
I was really happy today to see on the new Mayor's Facebook page that for the time being

451
00:47:48,750 --> 00:47:56,040
as the school season evolves they have agreed to either have a brigadier, a crossing guard

452

No, I know. I know. But I want to thank Council because sometimes we say, why are we doing this?

457
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:22,600

608
01:02:36,220 --> 01:02:44,900
12, 2026. The architectural plans prepared by the firm Archikan and dated June 29,

609
01:02:44,900 --> 01:02:53,420
2026, Sheets 1 to 13. The structural plans prepared by the firm Group SJL and dated

610
01:02:53,420 --> 01:03:03,180
March 27, 2026, Sheets 1 to 10, signed by engineer Joelle Saint-Cartier. All of the above subject

611
01:03:03,180 --> 01:03:09,960
to the following conditions, one that a financial guarantee equivalent to $13,000 be provided

612
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:18,360
to ensure that the work complies with the approved plans and the objectives and criteria of bylaw number 1113.

613
01:03:19,260 --> 01:03:30,420
Two, that tree protection measures compliant with the applicable BNQ standard to be implemented, as was stated in the previous resolution.

614
01:03:30,420 --> 01:03:35,440
Resolution 3, that additional measures to protect the root system of the trees be preserved

615
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:39,480
and implemented, as mentioned in the previous resolution.

616
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:45,340
That's it.

617
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:46,360
Okay.

618
01:03:46,620 --> 01:03:47,380
A seconder, please.

619
01:03:48,860 --> 01:03:50,220
Thank you, Councillor Brown.

620
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:50,740
All in favour?

621
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,000
It's unanimous.

622
01:03:55,540 --> 01:03:58,820
So, we continue Councillor Lohenstein with the next one.

623
01:03:59,020 --> 01:03:59,220
Yep.

624
01:04:00,340 --> 01:04:01,960
That's paid for 72 Morgan.

625
01:04:05,900 --> 01:04:10,080
We're at the minutes of the regular meeting of the Planning Advisory Committee held on

626
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:17,180
August 14, 2026, indicate that the committee issues favorable recommendation, whereas the

627
01:04:17,180 --> 01:04:21,640
application was submitted by the applicant pursuant to bylaw number 1113 of the town

628
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:27,740
of Badurfe concerning site planning and architectural integration programs, SPAPE, and said application

629
01:04:27,740 --> 01:04:32,800
meets the objectives and criteria of this bylaw, whereas the project involves the

630
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:39,040
expansion of a detached single-family dwelling including the removal of the chimney, the addition

631
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:45,980
of a balcony, as well as the addition and enlargement of certain openings, and that the project also

632
01:04:45,980 --> 01:04:51,620
involves the replacement of the roofing material with metal roofing, as well as the addition of

633
01:04:51,620 --> 01:04:58,680
wood siding on part of the addition matching the existing siding. I move that the above

634
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:05,060
preamble forms an integral part of this resolution. That the municipal council approve the SPAPE

635
01:05:05,060 --> 01:05:10,840
application submitted pursuant to bylaw number 1113 concerning the building extension of a

636
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:16,520
detached single-family dwelling in accordance with 1. The architectural plans prepared by

637
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:24,950
architect Colin Fraser and dated June 27, 2026, sheets 1-9. The structural plans prepared by

638
01:05:24,950 --> 01:05:33,670
engineer Jonathan A. Davis and dated June 10, 2026. Sheets 1-4. All of the above are

639
01:05:33,670 --> 01:05:40,190
subject to the following conditions. That a financial guarantee equivalent to $10,000

640
01:05:40,190 --> 01:05:45,170
be provided to ensure that the work complies with the approved plans and the objectives

641
01:05:45,170 --> 01:05:52,710
of criteria and criteria bylaw number 1113. Two, that tree protection measure is compliant

642
01:05:52,710 --> 01:05:57,610
with the applicable BNQ standard to be implemented as stated in the previous resolution.

643
01:05:58,250 --> 01:06:06,130
Three, that additional measures to protect the root systems of the trees to be preserved be implemented also as stated in the previous resolution.

644
01:06:06,730 --> 01:06:08,050
Thank you. A seconder.

645
01:06:09,390 --> 01:06:11,090
Thank you, Councillor Brown. All in favour?

646
01:06:12,070 --> 01:06:17,370
Thank you. So just before we continue, that's a lot of talking, right?

647
01:06:17,370 --> 01:06:22,730
and it's not very exciting, we don't show you pictures or anything like that, but just

648
01:06:22,730 --> 01:06:27,250
to recap, because since we've changed our bylaws with the bylaw reform.

649
01:06:27,750 --> 01:06:29,870
So tonight there were five urban planning files.

650
01:06:30,130 --> 01:06:34,370
One is a brand new building in the industrial park on an empty lot.

651
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:41,590
Three were renovations and one is a demolition which will, the date hasn't been finalized

652
01:06:41,590 --> 01:06:45,570
yet for the demolition, but then the demolition committee will be looking at that file.

653
01:06:45,570 --> 01:06:51,550
So in the past before the bylaw reform, we would only be seeing demolitions and now

654
01:06:52,390 --> 01:06:56,430
Actually, it's kind of nice to see also. I think for counsel

655
01:06:57,510 --> 01:07:02,690
How many people are actually renovating homes not to say anything's wrong with the demolition?

656
01:07:02,810 --> 01:07:10,210
But we we only were seeing that and we would only talk about that in these public meetings because the others were just

657
01:07:10,210 --> 01:07:13,670
Handled by administration and you would just see them when you would walk by

658
01:07:13,670 --> 01:07:17,170
So, I find that very interesting.

659
01:07:19,350 --> 01:07:26,270
So we continue now with a legal proceeding for non-compliance with municipal regulations,

660
01:07:26,410 --> 01:07:29,710
a professional mandate to law firm regarding 211 Oak Ridge.

661
01:07:29,870 --> 01:07:30,610
Councillor Charton?

662
01:07:31,470 --> 01:07:35,570
Considering that there is a place to mandate a Cabinet of Advocates to entamize all the

663
01:07:35,570 --> 01:07:41,850
judicial procedures used in the name of the city of Bedurfe, in virtue of Article 227

664
01:07:41,850 --> 01:07:46,490
de la loi sur l'aménagement et l'urbanisme, afin de faire respecter la réglementation

665
01:07:46,490 --> 01:07:52,570
municipale applicable relativement à la propriété 6 au 211 Oak Ridge.

666
01:07:53,330 --> 01:07:59,290
Je propose de mandater Maître Alain Long-Vivale de Danton, Drainville, à fin de prendre

667
01:07:59,290 --> 01:08:03,450
les procédures judiciaires jugées nécessaires au nom de la ville de Bédurffy en vertu

668
01:08:03,450 --> 01:08:08,270
de l'article 227 de la loi de la cité de la loi de l'aménagement et de l'urbanisme,

669
01:08:08,270 --> 01:08:15,050
to respect the municipal regulation applicable relative to the O211 Oak Ridge property,

670
01:08:15,590 --> 01:08:21,170
to transfer a amount of $10 per hour to the same non-affected post-budgetary,

671
01:08:21,430 --> 01:08:24,110
the 02-120-00-412,

672
01:08:24,430 --> 01:08:27,110
to authorize the Treasury to proceed to the payment of the honours

673
01:08:27,110 --> 01:08:29,250
that will be paid to the frame of its mandate,

674
01:08:29,710 --> 01:08:30,530
and to implement the sums,

675
01:08:30,530 --> 01:08:36,370
le tout conformément au certificat de disponibilité des fonds n°26-09-03,

676
01:08:36,710 --> 01:08:37,730
délivré par la trésorière.

677
01:08:39,070 --> 01:08:41,410
Merci pour appuyer, s'il vous plaît.

678
01:08:42,250 --> 01:08:44,530
Councillor Caron, thank you all in favor.

679
01:08:45,470 --> 01:08:46,830
It's unanimous.

680
01:08:51,270 --> 01:08:55,450
And Councillor Chartin, I will turn the microphone back to you

681
01:08:55,450 --> 01:08:57,450
for the excellent support program,

682
01:08:57,550 --> 01:08:59,530
le Programme de soutien à l'excellence.

683
01:08:59,870 --> 01:09:00,090
Excellent.

684
01:09:00,090 --> 01:09:11,150
Considering that the next candidate submitted a request to be financed by the Programme de

685
01:09:11,150 --> 01:09:18,310
soutien d'excellence, Julien Poupa-Rossou-Bourg, Tournois-Déjardin de Victoriaville, compétitif

686
01:09:18,310 --> 01:09:24,170
lecture white soccer du 20 au 21 juin à Victoriaville, au montant de 300 dedans,

687
01:09:24,170 --> 01:09:28,730
considering that the city considers it important to support its young residents in its sporting

688
01:09:29,350 --> 01:09:33,910
activities. I propose to grant a financial support to the total amount of $300 in the

689
01:09:33,910 --> 01:09:38,610
program of support for excellence, and to include the total amount of support mentioned

690
01:09:38,610 --> 01:09:44,730
in accordance with the background availability certificate No. 26-09-01, delivered by the

691
01:09:44,730 --> 01:09:44,930
Treasury.

692
01:09:45,250 --> 01:09:45,950
Thank you.

693
01:09:45,950 --> 01:09:46,790
A seconder, please.

694
01:09:47,330 --> 01:09:49,410
Thank you, Councillor Carroll. All in favor?

695
01:09:49,710 --> 01:09:50,770
Thank you.

696
01:09:50,770 --> 01:10:02,970
So now that brings us to almost the end of our council meeting, so the microphone goes back to you for anybody who has questions about anything that we discussed on the agenda this evening.

697
01:10:12,460 --> 01:10:15,580
Good evening, Meryl Hammond, six sunny acres,

698
01:10:18,730 --> 01:10:24,070
profoundly disappointed about the results

699
01:10:24,070 --> 01:10:31,630
of the pickleball sound study, and have a few questions for next steps.

700
01:10:34,930 --> 01:10:41,930
But to say I'm bringing good pressure, I think was your phrase, Madame Maria, just

701
01:10:41,930 --> 01:10:44,430
Good pressure from a concerned citizen.

702
01:10:46,610 --> 01:10:48,150
Thank you for laughing, Don.

703
01:10:49,750 --> 01:10:58,220
So my first question is who sets the 50, I believe, decibel limit?

704
01:10:58,900 --> 01:11:05,020
Is that a local bylaw? Is it a provincial? Where did that number come from?

705
01:11:05,980 --> 01:11:10,880
Okay, that's one. I'm going to just, if you don't mind, can I ask, do you know what your other questions are?

706
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:11,380
Certainly.

707
01:11:11,380 --> 01:11:15,020
Okay, so maybe you could just go over your questions and then we'll...

708
01:11:15,020 --> 01:11:22,140
So who sets that limit? Because I have been playing recently in St. Anne's and they have four courts

709
01:11:22,140 --> 01:11:28,360
and a tennis court and then I don't know the distance, I haven't measured it, but it's like a

710
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:35,720
footpath between the high school and John Abbott College and behind the church and...

711
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:36,180
Well, St. Anne.

712
01:11:36,380 --> 01:11:39,840
A huge block of, not a huge, but a big block of apartments.

713
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:47,600
literally from here to there. And we are playing on four courts and they are there. We played

714
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:54,160
on the Monday morning, the holiday, at 8 a.m. and I was saying, come on, there's people

715
01:11:54,160 --> 01:12:02,540
trying to sleep here. It was legal. The park opens at 7.30. We looked on the web. So, again,

716
01:12:02,540 --> 01:12:08,760
Where does the 50 decibels come from? If that's really what we are creating,

717
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:18,560
those poor guys need a sound barrier. Number two, yeah, if that's the limit,

718
01:12:18,660 --> 01:12:23,960
then there would be no pickleball courts anywhere on this planet. And yet it's

719
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:29,660
the fastest growing sport certainly in North America we've heard. Then you

720
01:12:29,660 --> 01:12:36,680
mentioned sound reduction, some sort of, some mitigation. Do we know what that

721
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:43,480
would look like? Is it ugly? Do we want to see like a wall of, did they say in

722
01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:49,220
their report? That's number three. And then next steps. Now that we are where we

723
01:12:49,220 --> 01:12:55,440
are, we've got the study result, what are our next steps? Could we look at other

724
01:12:55,440 --> 01:13:04,020
venues, e.g. at Bertolt Park, e.g. at Piccadilly, adjacent to the current basketball. We've been

725
01:13:04,020 --> 01:13:11,520
through this exercise before, but there must be somewhere. Or if not, do we have to go

726
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:16,740
to St Ann's or Beaconsfield? They have courts, I believe, at Christmas Park. I haven't

727
01:13:16,740 --> 01:13:24,340
played there yet. And our town enters some kind of agreement with that town, who's

728
01:13:24,340 --> 01:13:30,060
spent their money for us to play legally we always go with somebody from that

729
01:13:30,060 --> 01:13:37,380
town right now but I would like to be able to play in this game. So I wrote down

730
01:13:37,380 --> 01:13:44,660
your questions other towns a couple of them I will defer to Mr. Bouchard but

731
01:13:44,660 --> 01:13:50,720
I'll try I'll give a quick take and then I'll pass the microphone I can't

732
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:56,680
speak for other towns and what they did or did not do before they installed pickleball

733
01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:04,140
courts. Our engineer had done his own research and those were the proposals that he put forward.

734
01:14:04,580 --> 01:14:06,160
Every community is different.

735
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:14,560
And we did go ahead and do a report. So I don't know

736
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,140
if St. Anne's did or not.

737
01:14:19,480 --> 01:14:23,380
So, after I will pass the microphone regarding the 50 decibel,

738
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:28,000
but essentially, and it was in council who decided that, but essentially at a certain

739
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:36,720
point, you could expect that there would be, and it'll be in the, it'll be written

740
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:43,200
when you get a chance to read the report, that it could trigger complaints. Would it?

741
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:52,620
it, it doesn't decisively say it would, could it, and based on what we've seen in the process,

742
01:14:52,620 --> 01:14:57,500
us, it's highly likely that it could.

743
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,300
That's the limit, then there'd be no pickle, but I can't answer that one. It's really, our

744
01:15:05,300 --> 01:15:08,840
bylaws do encompass

745
01:15:12,390 --> 01:15:18,330
a certain level of peace in the neighborhood, and I don't know

746
01:15:18,330 --> 01:15:23,130
what other towns, how they, you know, I've looked at other towns, we've looked at

747
01:15:23,130 --> 01:15:28,350
other towns, it's not all about me, we've all read. Ottawa, for example, has a

748
01:15:28,350 --> 01:15:34,310
policy and it's a very large town Ottawa and they don't want to spend an enormous amount

749
01:15:34,310 --> 01:15:38,790
on their pickleball courts so they automatically say if there's going to be a pickleball court

750
01:15:38,790 --> 01:15:43,870
it has to be x amount of distance from any home. We don't have that kind of space here

751
01:15:43,870 --> 01:15:49,930
in the residential area but I think again I think that's more because the cost which

752
01:15:49,930 --> 01:15:54,370
brings me to the part of your question is about what mitigation is possible and the

753
01:15:54,370 --> 01:16:00,710
report talks about what mitigation could look like, and Mr. Bouchard rambled off what those

754
01:16:00,710 --> 01:16:05,130
numbers would bring the decibel levels down to, and you noted it because I heard you talk

755
01:16:05,130 --> 01:16:09,010
in the audience about the level of 52 decibels, so it's close.

756
01:16:11,390 --> 01:16:16,950
But it's more that other sound that is a very hard sound to control.

757
01:16:17,210 --> 01:16:18,550
So yes, there are measures.

758
01:16:19,390 --> 01:16:20,870
Everything comes at a price tag.

759
01:16:21,290 --> 01:16:22,990
It does drive the project up.

760
01:16:22,990 --> 01:16:29,650
I won't say that we didn't really have a discussion about the cost and I don't want to speak for

761
01:16:29,650 --> 01:16:35,190
the rest of council how they made their decision but it wasn't cost wasn't the only driving factor

762
01:16:35,190 --> 01:16:40,950
because if it was we're you know nobody likes to blow money but we're a wealthy community and if

763
01:16:40,950 --> 01:16:46,650
it if it could have made this project work then it's definitely worth looking into.

764
01:16:48,950 --> 01:16:55,590
Next steps, that's going to be up to a discussion with the pickleball players who would like to

765
01:16:55,590 --> 01:17:02,070
come forward and parks are free for everybody. We don't charge it. I'm not saying I'm here

766
01:17:02,070 --> 01:17:10,230
or there on this. I'm Switzerland here. But, you know, our dog park is very special and we

767
01:17:10,230 --> 01:17:15,330
let our neighbors open. We don't ask for a special agreement. We've never had an issue,

768
01:17:15,330 --> 01:17:18,910
although there was a lot of panic before that dog park opened that it was going to create

769
01:17:19,650 --> 01:17:25,630
something horrible in our town. Knock on wood, we haven't had anything neighbors sharing with

770
01:17:25,630 --> 01:17:30,950
neighbors. So unless Beaconsfield or St. Anne's closes the door and says locks it and puts a

771
01:17:30,950 --> 01:17:36,530
key fob, then you should feel comfortable playing in neighborhoods where you want to just as we

772
01:17:36,530 --> 01:17:42,170
welcome our neighbors to come and let their dogs swim and play with ours. Do you have anything

773
01:17:42,170 --> 01:17:42,850
you'd like to add?

774
01:17:45,620 --> 01:17:50,560
Yes I could I could talk about where the 50 decibel is

775
01:17:50,560 --> 01:18:00,640
coming from first of all in in our bylaws in bylaw 9.69 on the

776
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:06,540
nuisance by light limits the number of noise that could be produced in the

777
01:18:06,540 --> 01:18:13,020
municipality at the property line at 48 decibels. That's

778
01:18:13,020 --> 01:18:23,460
very low. Typically, Health Canada will talk about 55 decibel, and there's a common sense

779
01:18:23,460 --> 01:18:30,500
in the literature that says that you have to reduce that by 5 decibel because of the

780
01:18:30,500 --> 01:18:36,520
nature of sound that the pickle ball, a pickle ball cord would produce, the impact sound.

781
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:42,880
So that's where the 50 decibel is coming from. Although it's higher than the 48 decibel

782
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:50,300
we have, we were kind of trying to find a place where it would make sense. So that's where it's

783
01:18:50,300 --> 01:18:58,980
coming from. And about the mitigation measure, they're quite ugly. They're literally mats that you

784
01:18:58,980 --> 01:19:08,140
have to put on the fence. And that would be for a nine meter height fence. So it would be a kind

785
01:19:08,140 --> 01:19:16,240
of a bunker feeling. And even with that you don't reduce the high impact noise at the

786
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:16,920
properly line.

787
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:19,720
Thank you.

788
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:20,460
Three meters.

789
01:19:20,460 --> 01:19:26,040
Three meters. Sorry. Nine foot. Three meters. Sorry. I got confused.

790
01:19:26,980 --> 01:19:28,800
You're thinking about that. Invasive weed.

791
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:29,220
Yes.

792
01:19:29,500 --> 01:19:29,620
Well.

793
01:19:30,060 --> 01:19:34,020
That's what you're thinking about. But it's all the mitigation joking aside.

794
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:37,840
We're

795
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:45,700
all the options on mitigation are explained in the report that you're welcome to grab on your way up.

796
01:19:46,020 --> 01:19:48,200
Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mrs. Hammond.

797
01:19:51,510 --> 01:19:51,950
Hi,

798
01:19:55,100 --> 01:20:00,060
Ralph Allison, 704 Devon Place. Ralph Allison, you've bought it? I went too fast. Dana?

799
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,700
Okay. You're okay? Slower? Meryl Hammond?

800
01:20:07,940 --> 01:20:10,380
We'll get it. We can go over it after.

801
01:20:14,140 --> 01:20:18,200
We'll go back to that one, Dana. This is this is Mr. this is Mr. Allison.

802
01:20:24,340 --> 01:20:32,620
Meryl Streep. Okay. Okay. Mr. Ralph Allison. Ralph Allison, you could just repeat your address.

803
01:20:33,260 --> 01:20:38,740
Yes. If you could just repeat your address for Madam. 704 Devon Place.

804
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:49,340
My question coming out of this has to do with the special noise that's mentioned. Is that going

805
01:20:49,340 --> 01:20:57,940
to be an element, I'm not speaking just pickleball noise, but is that going to be considered in the

806
01:20:57,940 --> 01:21:07,880
bylaws, the new the new nuisance bylaws that are under consideration. You're

807
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:12,580
asking if the pickleball special noise is under consideration. Well there are

808
01:21:12,580 --> 01:21:20,360
sounds like that like trucks and cars and whatever that have a similar kind of

809
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:32,200
percussive sound. My question is the 50 decibel basis and most towns have not considered some

810
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:40,220
of these other new sounds. Are they going to be also a part of the consideration in the nuisance

811
01:21:40,220 --> 01:21:46,560
bylaws? I'm not sure if I'll answer your question exactly how you were thinking it,

812
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:54,780
However, there has been discussion with council about sound in general, but a little bit the

813
01:21:54,780 --> 01:22:00,460
reverse because there are certain technologies that are starting to become the norm in homes

814
01:22:00,460 --> 01:22:06,120
such as permanent generators with, you know, since flooding a lot of people have started

815
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:15,200
and some of these generators require regular weekly maintenance and we may need to make

816
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:19,020
some modifications, you know, not that they're illegal right now, but it's not

817
01:22:19,020 --> 01:22:25,220
very clear. It wasn't a technology that was very well used, so. That was my

818
01:22:25,220 --> 01:22:30,360
question. It's a general question. I don't have a specific, but in the new bylaw writing,

819
01:22:31,480 --> 01:22:37,040
there are things that have changed in our world and we should probably

820
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:42,900
consider those kind of things. There is, in fact, in the existing bylaw

821
01:22:42,900 --> 01:22:49,360
mention about mechanical sound and then you know how do you interpret sometimes

822
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:54,140
that kind of thing but it's a sound. Absolutely. Thank you.

823
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:03,060
You're not gonna

824
01:23:03,060 --> 01:23:07,280
be able to spell this one either. We'll get it after.

825
01:23:19,660 --> 01:23:28,440
I believe someone complained about the intersection 20 and morning you to train whatever happened

826
01:23:28,440 --> 01:23:28,840
to that.

827
01:23:29,660 --> 01:23:34,640
So people coming off and it wasn't safe, and I think that many people were talking about that.

828
01:23:34,980 --> 01:23:35,580
It was possible.

829
01:23:37,860 --> 01:23:41,100
I don't know if they're often, so it was just a dream.

830
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:55,700
So following a citizen who came forward to us, who's sadly at another intersection in another town,

831
01:23:55,700 --> 01:24:03,580
his father passed away. And so, rightly so, he became much more aware of intersections and brought

832
01:24:03,580 --> 01:24:08,520
some concerns forward to us regarding that intersection. The traffic committee looked at

833
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:15,520
it together with Nick Maverias. And Amir was installed to help pedestrians see better their

834
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:21,280
crossing. It's funny because I drive it all the time. I never noticed it either. But my

835
01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:26,620
tells me mom it's a great thing I'm like okay I'll let everybody know because it

836
01:24:26,620 --> 01:24:33,480
is there so that's what happened with it yeah thank you is there anybody else who

837
01:24:33,480 --> 01:24:39,140
has a question no so counselor Thompson I know

838
01:24:41,470 --> 01:24:49,250
lost your opportunity no thank

839
01:24:49,250 --> 01:24:52,350
Thank you. Have a good evening, everybody.
