Interventions for the month [27:06] of February 2024: one false alarm, one [27:10] first responder call, and two [27:12] mutual aid calls for a 4-star hotel. I thank [27:15] the Saint-Antoine Fire Department team [27:17] for your commitment to our [27:20] community. Thank you very much. [27:25] We have reached Article [27:28] 9.02, Appointment and Authority. [27:31] In fire prevention, within the framework [27:33] of the regional fire prevention service offer, it is [27:38] understood that the fire safety law and the [27:44] Ministry's fire safety guidelines [27:45] mention the obligation for [27:48] local municipalities to take [27:50] fire prevention actions. [27:53] Given that the [27:55] Ministry's [27:57] fire safety guidelines require [28:00] local municipalities to establish a [28:03] municipal fire prevention program that [28:05] includes five components, in accordance with section [28:08] 3.1, namely: Component 1: incident assessment and [28:13] analysis; Component 2: [28:15] municipal fire prevention regulations; [28:18] Component 3: [28:21] smoke detector verification; Component 4: [28:25] periodic inspection of the highest risks; and Component [28:28] 5: [28:30] public awareness activities. The [28:33] MRC of Haut-Saint-Laurent has submitted a [28:35] regional fire prevention service offer that [28:38] meets the requirements of the five components to be [28:41] included: a [28:45] municipal [28:48] fire prevention program, Component 4: [28:51] periodic inspection of the [28:53] highest risks, and Component 5: [28:56] public awareness activities. The [28:59] municipality of Saintaniss is part [29:01] of the regional fire prevention services [29:03] offered. By the Remer du sonang, [29:07] given that the municipality of [29:08] Saintanisset signed the [29:10] intermunicipal agreement in Condal, the [29:13] regional fire prevention service offer [29:15] on April 13, [29:18] 2023, [29:21] 2023-04-820, council member that the [29:23] municipality of Saintanisset, Mr. [29:26] David, the preventionist wave for the [29:29] MRRC of Saintanisset, as the competent authority [29:32] in fire prevention on its [29:35] territory, objection, ladies and [29:38] gentlemen, we have reached 10 rounds [29:40] of discussion, council member, you have no [29:42] subject to mention, we have reached [29:44] item 11, round table, [29:47] Madam Councillor, please, good evening everyone, [29:50] the MRC is [29:53] responsible for agricultural watercourses and [29:56] N, a member of the MRC to carry out the [29:59] Rivière la Guerre project which [30:02] consists of reducing the volume of [30:05] pumping in Lake Saint-François, so [30:09] the file is moving forward and we will have [30:12] a meeting soon where the MRC will [30:15] explain the report on [30:17] building management that they had done, uh, it was [30:20] done about a year ago, so we're eager [30:24] to see the results [30:26] to move the project forward. Thank you very [30:29] much, Mr. Councillor, District [30:30] 2. Yes, thank you, sir. During spring [30:33] break, the Huntingden AR [30:36] has several events we can [30:39] talk about. The Huntingden Optimist Club [30:42] is organizing a free sailing session [30:44] on Thursday, March 7th, between 2 pm and 4 pm. [30:47] The activity is free for all [30:49] children 12 years old and under. They will receive a [30:52] hot dog or a snack. Commented by the [30:54] Huntingden Optimist Club, Laarina. Also, free sailing on [30:58] Saturday, March 9th, from 10 am to 11 am for [31:01] children aged 9 to 12, and from 11 am to noon for those aged 13 to [31:05] 15. Full equipment is [31:08] mandatory for [31:09] safety reasons. Also, free sailing at the [31:12] cost of coins on March 5th from 2 pm to 4 pm, and on [31:17] Wednesday, March 6th from 2 pm to 4 pm.

So it's all very busy, it's a lot of [31:38] this and it's very important to keep [31:40] the whole family active, and [31:42] when we have the infrastructure, I [31:45] recommend you participate. Thank you very much, [31:47] Madam District Councillor. Nothing for me, thank you, thank you very much, [31:49] Madam [31:52] District Councillor. Please, good evening to you all. A few [31:54] points regarding [31:57] the eco-centre: last week, more than a few [32:00] weeks ago, I had the opportunity to [32:02] replace the Mayor at the MRC and [32:05] Ms. Lebrun, who is the MA of [32:09] Sainte-Barbe. It was official that [32:12] she would meet with us in [32:14] April or May because they [32:17] are waiting for a [32:19] bid from the people [32:23] who will be working on [32:25] the eco-centre on the site. It will [32:28] be a [32:29] non-profit organization. Those who work for the [32:32] municipality of Valetfille at the eco-centre The [32:35] fact is, they're waiting for a bid, not a [32:37] grant, sorry, but a [32:40] quote, and from there they'll [32:42] get the prices. So they'll be able to [32:44] meet with us, and we're waiting for [32:46] that too. I want to speak on behalf of the [32:49] Optimist Club—sorry, I'm [32:53] eating my words tonight—the Optimist Club. [32:57] You know there's going to be a [32:59] corn festival. Tickets are on [33:01] sale for the show, and if you have a [33:04] little time to spare (2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 20 [33:06] hours) to volunteer, we're [33:09] looking for volunteers. The wonderful, big [33:12] family is waiting for you with [33:14] open arms. Thank you very much, Madam [33:16] Councillor for District 5. [33:18] Hello, I'm part of the [33:21] Canau committee. There will be a meeting with [33:23] BNL on March 19th. If you have any [33:26] questions, you [33:27] can address them to me or to Ms. [33:30] Marie Rachelle Charlebis, the president [33:32] of BNL. That's all. Thank you very much, ladies [33:35] and gentlemen. [33:37] For the past month, the MRC, as you [33:40] know, is working on our strategy. [33:42] We've done it, we've had our [33:45] Analysis report of our diagnosis. We also [33:47] conducted the socio-economic study, an [33:50] excellent report, and last month, on [33:54] February 21st, we had the opportunity to work on defining the strategic directions, [33:59] objectives, timeline, [34:02] vision, and mission of our RCM. [34:05] This will be a very, very, very valuable document [34:08] to help [34:10] guide the RCM for the [34:12] coming years. [34:16] Furthermore, next Tuesday at 6:00 PM, the RCM [34:21] will present its waste management plan. [34:23] I [34:27] urge all citizens, if you have the time, to [34:28] attend. The waste [34:31] management plan is very interesting; [34:33] it represents innovation. [34:35] All the changes taking place will [34:37] have an impact on how we use waste management, [34:40] but it's also important to be aware of the importance [34:42] of all of this. Again, this is on [34:44] Tuesday, March 12th at 6:00 PM at the RCM. Also, on [34:50] March 19th, I will be participating in the [34:53] Motterigien forum, which focuses on strategies for [34:55] municipalities. In the face of [34:57] climate change, we will [34:59] discuss civil security plans, [35:01] how [35:03] municipalities can adapt to climate change, and make [35:05] recommendations. We will also discuss the [35:10] current and future [35:12] impact of municipal co-fiscality and solutions in [35:15] rural and urban municipal settings. [35:18] We will also look at how to [35:19] make recommendations for [35:21] other municipalities to share [35:23] best practices and develop [35:26] tools for the entire process. The meeting will conclude [35:27] on March 19th. If [35:33] you have children, don't forget that on [35:36] Saturdays, there are [35:38] children's story time sessions at the [35:41] library. Please [35:44] bring your grandchildren. We are [35:46] currently on question period number 12. [35:48] Remember, we [35:50] are recorded. I would ask you to [35:52] state your first and last name, and [35:54] also the organization you [35:55] represent. The floor is now open to you, [35:57] ladies and gentlemen. [35:59] Madam, this is your [36:04] moment. Yes, madam, thank you very much. [36:12] I am here to ask for... [36:15] Permission to have beehives in [36:18] the area. Bees [36:20] are not a [36:23] threat. I found [36:27] a document on the Quebec government website called " [36:29] Beekeeping in Quebec" which gives us [36:33] good guidelines and also [36:37] organizes things like a [36:40] municipality, setting parameters [36:42] for all of this. [36:47] One thing I found very [36:49] interesting is that the beehives [36:51] must be registered with the [36:55] municipality. It [36:58] requires a citizen to [37:01] present the location, which is [37:07] planned, and [37:10] then [37:12] on how [37:23] the organization works. Thank you very much, [37:25] Madam. We will review the [37:27] documents you currently have. [37:29] Our regulations do not grant this [37:31] authorization; it's more for [37:32] green zones and not for white zones. At that point, we [37:35] will review [37:37] the document you have [37:38] from the Quebec government to [37:40] learn a little more about the urban aspect. As long as [37:43] we are in a rural environment, it's to [37:45] ensure that the Council has the correct [37:46] information, and at that point, we can [37:48] take a [37:50] future direction. At this moment, I cannot [37:52] answer you whether you have the authority or not. [37:53] Here, we must give the administration a chance [37:55] and also... A [37:57] presentation to the Council members, okay, [37:59] thank you very much, [38:01] ma'am, it works, it works, okay, good evening everyone, I hope everyone is [38:10] well. I came to [38:13] see about Serge Côé, thank you very much. I [38:16] came to see about [38:18] the park matter. You Z, to provide me with the [38:20] accountant's papers on January 24th, I haven't had any [38:24] news. I wanted to [38:25] know what this is, [38:29] access to information. [38:31] Mr. Maison engaged in the meeting with [38:33] Mr. C, the accountant on March 18th at the [38:36] municipality. These are documents to [38:38] submit the verification to. These are documents to [38:42] come in February, but on March 18th, okay, that's good, evening, thank you very much. Are there any [38:50] questions from the [38:55] room, [38:59] Mr. Gognon? But it can happen, [39:01] a break, it's time-consuming. At that moment, [39:05] I will ask, sir, we have reached [39:07] sector 13, Mr. [39:10] Director General, question period, have [39:12] we received any [39:14] written questions? I had the question from the lady who came, [39:16] you answered, sir, okay, [39:19] thank you very much, ma'am, in your One [39:20] more question, ladies and gentlemen: if [39:22] you are unable to attend, [39:24] you can always contact the [39:25] Director General [39:27] before noon to submit your [39:30] questions, and we will answer them [39:32] directly during the [39:34] council meeting. We have now reached the adjournment [39:35] of the [39:37] assembly. Have a good school break. Please [39:40] be careful and [39:42] aware of temperature changes. [39:45] Thank you very [39:53] much.
