With a new school coming to the St.Raymond area and the existing NDGSchool, located at Girouard and NDG Ave.,having built such a substantial addition,the local French-language school board,the Commission scolaire de Montréal(CSDM), is redrawing school catchmentlines. The lines designate where studentsare assigned by the school board.

School commissioner Marie-José Mas-tromonaco told the Free Press that no onewill be forced to go to the new, as yet un-named St. Raymond school, which is cur-rently under construction at the corner of

Upper Lachine Rd. and Oxford Ave. At-tending the school will be a choice for any-body living between the train tracks and St.Jacques St., she said. The entire NDG dis-trict currently has 3,300 elementary stu-dents and about 2,000 high school stu-dents.

Once the St. Raymond school opens,there will be nine elementary schools inthe district. NDG School is taking wellover a 100 more students than previousyears and the new school will, at capacity,allow for 280 children. The district, Mas-tromonaco noted, is already overpopulatedand, regardless of the newadditions, redistricting is continued on p. 9

Two years ago this month, CinémaNDG’s bid won the non-profit organiza-tion the right to take over the city-ownedEmpress Theatre (also known as CinemaV) and turn it into an independent multi-plex.

Organizers were originally given untilthe end of 2013 to drum up the some $12million needed to realize the project, butthey requested an extension when themoney didn’t materialize in time.

That extension runs out on September30 but, at this point, it’s not clear if the or-ganization is going to make the deadlineand the borough doesn’t seem to have awell-defined contingency plan if that hap-pens.

On September 16, Elaine Ethier, who isheading up the project at Cinéma NDG,told the Free Press: “It is too premature forme to discuss the project at its presentstate.”

Borough mayor Russell Copeman hasindicated during council meetings that ex-tending the deadline any further will notbe an option.

The building, originally constructed in1927, has sat mostly vacant since the 1992fire that shut down Cinema V.

The Empress Cultural Centre, a non-profit organization, tried for decades to geta restoration project off the ground untilthe borough council, then chaired byMichael Applebaum, intervened.

After a bidding contest, the councilvoted in favour of Cinéma NDG’s pro-posal.

NDG-district councillor Peter McQueensaid Ethier, as far as he knows, is still wait-ing for funding to come through and hehopes that she succeeds.

When asked what will happen after Sep-tember 30, borough spokesperson IsabelleLord said “it is still a work in progress.”She said the borough will have a clearer an-swer at the beginning of October.

MTQ Spokesperson said720 signs are there to say

After a Free Press story about the 720east signs that are still directing GirouardAve. drivers to a non-existent on-ramp, aTransport ministry spokesperson con-tacted the newspaper to say the signs arethere to stay. The story ran in the Septem-ber 9 edition (p. 4).

The 720 east signs, located at the inter-sections of de Maisonneuve Blvd. and Up-per Lachine Rd., will be accurate once the

new on-ramp is open further east on St.Jacques St., she said. After the St. JacquesSt. bridge is demolished and rebuilt, a newon-ramp onto the Ville Marie Expresswayis slated to open east of St. Remi St. – onceagain serving as NDG’s fastest route down-town.

Until then, she noted, there are orangedetour signs directing traffic eastbound onSt. Jacques St.

Compared to the thousands of peoplewho enjoyed the two street festivals inMonkland village this summer, there reallyweren’t many complaints, according to theorganizer, Danny Roseman, and NDG-dis-trict councillor Peter McQueen.

However, not everybody was left withsmiles on their faces after the Grand Prixfestival in June and August’s Flavours ofMonkland event.

“The music is so loud, that I have tohave all my windows closed and the housevibrates to the beat,” said a Melrose Ave.resident in a phone interview. “I’m 75years old. I’m handicapped. I walk with acane. I cannot walk very far and there’s nobus service on Monkland. They stop thebus service during the festival and direct usto Somerled. An elderly person can’t walkto Somerled. So there is no transport.”

McQueen said he has received somewritten complaints about the festivals, butthe writing is very similar in each note. Itis possible, he said, that the complaintsare all coming from the same person orgroup of people who are working together.

“There are definitely some people op-posed, but when you start to get emails allwritten in a similar way, it could representdifferent people or it could represent justa couple of very motivated people,” he ex-plained. “They could all be friends orsomething.”

Last year, during the election campaign,he did his door-to-door in the area whilethe Flavours of Monkland festival was infull bloom. He went as far as to ask peopleif they were bothered by the festival and, hesaid, there were no complaints.

“I had 100 people saying, ‘No, we likeit,’” he said. “I never got one complaint. Iwatched for parking problems and therewere none.”

There were some complaints aboutnoise, mobility and handicapped accessi-

bility, and the borough is looking into theseissues, McQueen said. But, overall, he saidthe benefits of the festival outweigh thenegatives so far and he supports theseevents as they bring exposure to the area.He said he is open to hearing complaints,but he needs more evidence before takingstrong action against festivals that attractso many people to Monkland village.

Anthony Colucci, co-owner of CaféHemmingway (6054 Monkland Ave., nearHampton Ave.), said the festival was agreat experience for his new business. Itdidn’t necessarily mean customers wereflowing in during the concerts, street per-formances and sidewalk sales, but he saidit gave his business a lot of exposure. Peo-ple learned about the street and his busi-ness thanks to the festival, he said.

Colucci said he had to pay the Monk-land Merchants Association to have a side-walk kiosk during the events, but it wasworth every penny.

Borough spokesperson Michel Therriensaid the festivals had all the proper permitsand asking vendors to contribute to theevent is acceptable in cases where the or-ganizer went through the permit-applica-tion process.

Roseman said the events are hosted byhis non-profit organization, the MonklandMerchants Association. He has a paid staffand he said he would like, just as othernon-profit directors do, to take home asmall salary to compensate himself for thesix months of effort he puts into theseevents. While he is still crunching thenumbers from this year and waiting forpayments to come in, he said last year’sfestival actually cost him about $6,000 ofhis own money.

Overall, he said he received a total offour complaints, despite attracting about150,000 people to the Flavours of Monk-land festival, but he is more than willing todiscuss concerns with residents and busi-ness owners alike, he said, as he plans on

continuing the annual tradition in theyears to come. The biggest issue, he said,is ensuring he has enough funding to con-tinue hosting the popular street festivals.

“The two festivals combined, there wasabout $220,000 in costs,” he said. “Weraised 80 percent of the money. The streetpays for 20 percent. It’s an uphill battle tofinance it. Overall, it’s been incredible, butwe’re just trying to get more support fromthe different levels of government andsponsorships in order to keep buildingthis thing.”

Libman notso natural a fit

I cannot agree less with Penny Hassan(August 26, p. 18) regarding her promotionof Robert Libman as candidate for the Con-servative Party. Why? Because a vote forLibman is a vote for Harper and I thinkthat another term for that clever conniverwould be catastrophic for us all.

We get evidence of his ways of workingthrough writers such as Colin Kenny (for-mer chair of the senate committee on na-tional security & defence), who recentlywrote about how Harper’s government iscausing prices for chicken and dairy prod-ucts to be roughly double what they are inthe US.

This situation is causing other coun-tries (including Australia and NewZealand) to try to oust Canada from theTrans-Pacific Partnership talks, which willlead to an important free-trade agreement.The reason that Harper clings to this situ-ation is that it will save the governmentmoney, which will allow it to reduce taxesjust before the next election.

Another example of this aim is the spec-tacle of our two foreign policy experts(Harper and Baird) making all sorts ofnoise about events in the Ukraine andMiddle East while restricting our militaryspending to the lowest in years.

Want some more…?John Russ, Harvard Ave.

In an effort to better inform residents ofCôte des Neiges-NDG on the affairs oftheir borough, I will be writing a columnevery two months or so in the Free Press. Iwill be addressing the issues and chal-lenges that we, as a community, face to-gether.

I want to thank the Free Press for mak-ing this space available to me.

The borough council recently adoptedits 2015-2017 capital spending pro-gramme. My administration intends toclose the gap between tax levels and thequality of our streets sidewalks and bikepaths. As promised in the last election, in-vestment in our infrastructures will be atop priority.

This year alone, a record 55 street sec-tions were repaired and repaved. In 2015,our borough will spend $2.8 million, rep-resenting almost 40 percent of our totalcapital investments, on roads and side-walks. The city centre will invest another$6 million on roads in the borough nextyear.

This means that there will be a lot of dif-ferent worksites, and we will need yourunderstanding and cooperation.

I know many of you are frustrated with

the lack of coordination in the major infra-structure works in and around our bor-ough. I have addressed this problem manytimes with Transport Quebec and myneighbouring mayors. Although they haveall offered their collaboration, we must re-main vigilant.

An important proportion of our capitalexpenditures will be devoted to the pro-tection and upkeep of municipal buildingsin the borough.

These investments are in many casesoverdue and are necessary to maintain thelevel of services provided in culture, sportsand leisure and community activities. With75 buildings and installations, it is imper-ative for the borough to ensure their up-keep, thus preventing major unexpectedexpenses.

In sum, it will take some time to bringour municipal infrastructure back up toacceptable levels, but we are making pro -gress.

Residents interested in our borough fi-nances are invited to an information ses-sion at 7 pm on Monday September 22 atour borough offices, 5160 Decarie Blvd.,4th floor. We will present Côte des Neiges-NDG’s budget orientations for the upcom-ing year. Elected officials will be glad to an-swer your questions and take note of yourpreoccupations.

Russell Copeman is the mayorof Côte des Neiges-NDG.

On streets, sidewalks and bike paths

By Isaac Olson

During a public meeting in NDG onSeptember 9, the McGill University HealthCentre (MUHC) board of directors facedsome tough questions from two attendeeswanting to know how people with reducedmobility are supposed to access the incom-ing super-hospital and, once there, navi-gate the mega-sized medical facility.

“We do not have and will not have in theforeseeable future a second handicappedentrance to the Vendôme Metro, whichwill help people that are wheelchair bound,those with limited mobility and those fam-ilies with young children,” began MaureenKiely as she asked what measures will bein place when the hospital opens in 2015.

The second entrance, transportation of-ficials have said, will cost some $70 millionand take at least four years to complete, butthe province has yet to agree to foot the bill.That entrance would include a tunnel un-der the tracks. Until then, there will be a$3.4-million upgrade to the intermodal sta-tion as it faces a predicted 35-percent in-crease in riders by 2017. Currently, the sta-tion sees 11.1 million riders annually.

Kiely said those who have cars or usetaxis won’t have a problem accessing thehospital, but “it is a problem for manyfamilies.” She said the inter-neighbour-hood coalition, known as the ConcertationInter-quartiers (CIQ), is currently circulat-ing a petition that will be submitted to therelevant authorities as there are “many,many people in western Montreal that arevery worried about this.”

MUHC director general and CEO Nor-mand Rinfret replied, “Clearly our agendahas been to push highly on the govern-

ment, municipal as well as provincial, toensure there was going to be the right con-nectivity between the Vendôme Metro sta-tion at the opening time.”

Rinfret said he is happy to see that thereis going to be temporary measures to helpcontrol the congestion at the station. How-ever, he said, it still won’t be handicappedaccessible. There is the potential of in-stalling a shuttle bus to the station, he said,but a decision has not been made.

The second entrance, he said would al-low a handicapped-accessible entrance tothe Metro and the hospital. There is a de-sign made in collaboration with the So-ciété de transport de Montréal and theAgence métropolitaine de transport.

“I hope this will get the priority that itshould,” he said. “We are still putting pres-sure on this, I guarantee you.”

Citing the fact that many people are al-ready going to have “enormous difficulty”getting to the hospital, Bridget Blackaderasked how patients are going to circulatearound such a large facility.

Rinfret said there is going to be handi-cap access and ways of navigating the facil-ity. Imma Franco, the MUHC’s associatedirector for planning of programs andservices, said, “Although it is a very largesite, it is very localized for the differentclientele and patients.”

The necessary services, she said, willbe “co-located.” A parent with a child, shesaid, will go to one floor to get their x-raysand blood drawn. There are very few pa-tients that will have to traverse from blocksA to D. It’s very unlikely that such a casewill happen, she said, but if it does, “ourtransport staff will do that with wheel-chairs and other means.”

Mark Krupa, an NDG-based writer, ac-tor and producer, has not only performedin several blockbuster hits, but he has alsoproduced many award-winning moviesranging from the The Wild Hunt to Rhymesfor Young Ghouls.

Now Krupa has set his sights on pro-ducing a Montreal-based web series calledEchelon: The Series. He described produc-ing a web series as entering a “grey zone”as it is still a relatively new platform toshowcase something that has traditionallybeen beamed to televisions.

“I believe we have the magic ingredi-ents to create the biggest independent ac-tion drama ever attempted for a web se-ries,” explained Krupa. He said he has ateam in place and together they are still ex-ploring how exactly the series will be airedonline, but, regardless, “storytelling re-mains storytelling, and a good story is agood story. We are very confident we candeliver.”

Krupa has turned to crowd sourcingthrough Indiegogo.com to make thisdream a reality and, he said, “our In-diegogo campaign promise is, for every$1,000 raised, we produce one minute of

Echelon.”The series’ Indiegogo page states,

“Every single dollar we raise will be pouredinto the realization of Echelon. That trans-lates into equipment, locations, props,food, manpower, pre/post production,packaging and an international release.”

Donors receive a range of gifts in re-turn, depending on their contributions.For $5,000, for example, a donor will get afull executive-producer credit.

Krupa described Echelon as a “character-driven suspense thriller spiced with a littlemythic drama and a bit of the fantastical.”It is about a pair of victims who hatch a re-venge plan against an elite talent agencythat mentors emerging artists. The agency,

Echelon, is run by “angel investors” whooffer sponsorships with the condition thatartists must fulfill a single request in re-turn for the backing.

“They try to get revenge, but they findout that they are only uncovering the tip ofa very, very dark iceberg,” said Krupa.“They then question how far they are will-ing to go to get revenge, let alone stayalive.”

Borough launches pilot projectto control aphid

According to a September 5 press re-lease, Montreal’s environmental servicesdepartment, in collaboration with the Côtedes Neiges-NDG borough, has launched apilot project aimed at controlling the peskylinden aphid (eucallipterus tiliae).

Although the linden aphid doesn’t reallyinterfere with the trees they invade, thelittle creatures excrete what is described as“honeydew” and that honeydew sticks towhatever it lands on such as cars, side-walks, balconies, etc.

To combat this issue, city officials re-leased more than 12,000 parasitoids

around Old Orchard and Oxford avenuesbetween Terrebonne St. and MonklandAve.

The parasitoids are, according to theFrench-language press release, harmless tohumans and animals, but are the naturalenemies of aphids as they lay eggs inthem. The eggs hatch and the larvae eatthe aphids, the release states. This biolog-ical control project falls within the frame-work of ecological landscape managementput forward by the environmental servicesdepartment and it adheres to the city’s pes-ticide use regulations. – IO/FP

Tucked between Monkland Ave.’s com-mercial strip and Lower Canada College’ssoccer field, the Monkland Tennis Club isdescribed by many of its 700 members asan oasis right in the heart of NDG. Withnine courts, an outdoor pool, bar andrestaurant, the club has been churning outtop-notch players and maintaining a strongfamily community since 1939.

Now members are celebrating 75 yearsof tennis and who better to coordinate thecelebration than Sandy Milroy – a born-and-raised NDGer whose father was afounding member. Years later, Milroy’ssons also play tennis at the club and helooks forward to a future where his grand-kids enjoy the facility.

“The club was founded by, essentially, abunch of people that were playing here atthat time,” said Milroy. “There were al-ready courts here. [Prior to 1939] it used becalled the Westward Athletic Associationand, at some point, the property was goingto be sold. So, the members got together tobuy it and have kept it going ever since.”

The Monkland Tennis Club, located onRoyal Ave. just south of Monkland village,has been home to Canada’s Tennis Hall ofFame members, Davis Cup team mem-bers and several top players on the proand junior levels.

According to a press release, the firstlive tennis TV broadcast in Canada by theCBC was at the 1964 Canadian Open at theMonkland Tennis Club, won by “the im-

mortal Aussie tennis legend Roy Emer-son.

“As a neat historic footnote, currentMonkland member Bob McDevitt was partof the CBC crew for that historic broad-cast.”

Milroy said the club has evolved overthe years as more and more families join.

“There are many more families herenow, though a large portion of the mem-bership has been here for a very longtime,” said Milroy, describing it as compet-itive club that produces top players. “It’sbeen a big part of the Canadian tennislandscape for a really long time.”

To celebrate, there was a cocktail partyon September 12, a dinner and dance partyon September 13 and the club hosted thefinals of its mixed doubles tournament onSeptember 14.

The “Monument aux braves de NDG” was surrounded by temporary fencing earlier this month as thecity’s cultural department did some work on the cement sculpture’s joints, according to boroughspokesperson Isabelle Lord. The monument, which stands in the centre of NDG (Girouard) Park,commemorates those who died during World War I and World War II as well as the Korean War.

needed to help mitigate the issue.The St. Raymond school will likely be

an “international school,” she said, butthat has yet to be confirmed. An interna-tional school, according to the CSDM web-site, is “given the task of forming individ-uals capable of living in a changing world.”

Normally there is an entrance exam but,explained Mastromonaco, students livingin the St. Raymond area will be able to by-pass it. Those same students, she added,have the option of going elsewhere andothers are welcome to attend the school inSt. Raymond, but there will be no bus serv-ice. Students in the area will be encour-aged to walk, which, she added, is better

for the environment.If students who live in the St. Raymond

area still want to attend institutions like theNDG School, the bus service will continuefor as long as there is enough demand. Inthe coming years, if only a few students aremaking the hike to NDG School, the busservice may be discontinued, she said.

“We’re not going to force anybody tochange schools,” she said. “We’re going tolet them finish where they started.”

The new facility will be built for justunder $8 million, according to a CSDMpress release and it will be open for the2015-2016 school year.

The new school will have some 14 class-rooms, a library and gymnasium.

The following news stories are based oninformation from police reports provided by aStation 11 constable in an interview with thereporter.

A disorderly customer’s bad behavior ata local bar led to a drug trafficking bust onSeptember 14 just outside E.B ClubLounge, located on de Maisonneuve Blvd.just west of Prud’homme Ave.

According to Station 11 constable PeterMandelos, E.B Club Lounge’s security

team saw the man, age 21, pushing awoman and, when bouncers intervened,the man refused to leave quietly. The con-frontation soon spilled out into the street.It was about 3 am when police arrived.The police found club security holding theman down with a crowd of bar patronssurrounding them, said Mandelos.

Officers apprehended the suspect, buthe refused to give his full name, said Man-delos. It didn’t take long, with just his nick-

name and a computer database at theirfingertips, to uncover his true identity.

It turns out, Mandelos explained, thatthe man had an outstanding warrant re-lated to conjugal violence. He was arrested,he said, and searched.

During the search, officers found asmall amount of marijuana and enoughneatly prepackaged bags of crack cocaine towarrant a drug trafficking charge.

The man is a Montreal resident, notedMandelos, but he does not live in NDG.

Trudy Blumstein is the student supportcoordinator for Indigenous Access McGilland an advisor for the Social Work andHealth Sciences Programs for Native andNon-Native students, and her husbandJohn Heath is a lifelong NDGer, who haswalked the length and breadth of theneighborhood countless times over theyears.

Blumstein moved to NDG in 1970,when she became an assistant in one ofthe Somerville Group Home (now part ofBatshaw Youth and Family Centres).

She lived in the house and providedrespite for the resident parents on nightsand weekends. While she didn’t grow uphere, Blumstein loves NDG because it “hasalways felt like home. It’s a real commu-nity; a neighbourhood… you get to knowpeople and develop friendships. I like to

shop in the small stores, and hang out inthe cafés.”

Over the years, Blumstein has had apositive impact on NDG. She was a part of“Hampton Net,” a sort of precursor to theEco-quartier, where residents and theirfamilies organized to clean the lanes andstreets around Hampton Ave.

In addition, Blumstein was the directorof religious education at the UnitarianChurch of Montreal (UCM), a place thathas profoundly shaped her sense of com-munity.

“We joined the church because it re-flected our diverse backgrounds [Trudy isJewish and John is Christian] and becausewe wanted to pass on our values to our son.”

Trudy has been active in organizingevents like the Empty Bowls fundraiseragainst hunger and the Fair Trade CraftFair, which grew out of the UCM but have“become a part of NDG.” When I asked herif there was any of her work she wanted tomention, Blumstein told me, “not now, butthere are such great projects in NDG. I am

happy that Head and Hands is here, andthe urban agriculture initiatives are veryexciting. In NDG, you find the kind of peo-ple who inspire you, who are good rolemodels, and who encourage you to becomeengaged in society.” Thanks for your out-standing community work Trudy!

To hear him tell it, Trudy’s husbandJohn Heath is the “real heart of this dy-namic duo. She’s Robin and I’m Batman.”

John is certainly the more recognized ofthe pair. With his Tilly hat and walkingstick, John can be seen rambling the streetsof NDG most every day, year ‘round.

“I try and walk at least 21 hours a weekand often do more.” Born and rais ed inNDG, John grew up on Walkley betweenTerrebonne and Somerled, which was “apretty rough neighborhood, but since wewere kids, we didn’t really know it.”

Since he has partial vision, John likesthe familiarity of NDG; he knows the traf-fic patterns, streets and landmarks verywell, which “makes a big difference.”

Heath also appreciates the ethnocul-tural diversity of NDG. “When I was grow-ing up, most people spoke English or east-ern European languages, but since theQuiet Revolution, you hear more French,Farsi, and Korean – more of everything.”

Regardless of language, John is recog-nized everywhere he goes. One local bar-ber greets him with a distinctive whistle“so I know where I am,” and others withhellos and shouts of “Hi, Mr. John!” as hepasses by. Heath says: “I always liked thepeople here, but when I became a parentand as I get older I appreciate NDG moreand more. It really is the best place to live.”

I couldn’t agree more!Remember, if you know a communitystandout, or would like your event or

activity to appear in a future column, sendme an email at least three weeks in

With noises being described as a high-pitched whine coupled with the roar ofwater falls still infiltrating the neighbour-hood bordering the McGill UniversityHealth Centre (MUHC) construction site,Westmount officials have demanded ameeting with the hospital’s top brass toresolve the issue.

Now officials from both parties are ne-gotiating a solution as some residents ofWestmount are complaining about thenoise. However, NDG-district councillorPeter McQueen said he has not heard anycomplaints directly related to the hospi-tal’s ventilation system or cooling towers.

The noise, hospital officials have said, is

likely related to the facility’s dozens ofchimneys and customized cooling towers.The cooling towers, some of the largest inCanada, are located on the easternmostportion of the site, just north of the St.Jacques St. parking garage.

Two complaints

“We have received complaints from twoWestmount residents,” said SNC-Lavalinspokesperson Diane Rivard. “We are inthe process of balancing the system of thishuge hospital complex. It takes time. Itcannot be done overnight. Right when thefirst person complained about this, westarted looking at mitigation measures but,at the moment, nothing about the systemhas been finalized.”

Rivard said the system will be fully cal-ibrated by the end of September and, dur-ing that time, the firm has hired anacoustic expert to develop mitigation meas-ures. Rivard said SNC-Lavalin has alreadysubmitted a report to Westmount showingthat there is “no evidence that we are notrespecting the by-law. But that doesn’tmean that we aren’t still looking into mit-igation measures.”

Westmount’s District 5 councillor,Christina Smith, said that, just becauseSNC-Lavalin has only received complaintsfrom two people, doesn’t mean there areonly two people upset by the noise. Shesaid people complain in different ways,such as contacting their local provinciallegislator, the city’s Urban Planning de-

partment, its director general or their citycouncillor. The complaints have beenrolling in, she said, and the city is takingthis issue very seriously.

“We are going to have a meeting andwe’re hoping a solution comes out of it,”said Smith.

York St. resident Dorothy Lipovenkosaid the constant, disruptive sound vio-lates the city’s nuisance-noise by-law.

“They turned it on in late Novemberand, with the exception of a one-hour shut-down a couple weeks ago for testing, therehas been no silence at all,” said Lipovenko.“This neighbourhood has never resumedits regular ambiance of noise that we all ex-pect.”

On September 8, the city of Côte St.Luc approved a resolution that requeststhe Quebec provincial legislature restrictthe use of electronic cigarettes in publicspaces.

At the same time, councillors took thefirst step in approving a by-law that willadd the electronic smoking devices to thecity’s already existing tobacco by-law – ban-ning use of the devices in parks and duringpublic events.

“As of now, we have no idea if theseproducts are safe,” said Mayor AnthonyHousefather, noting these by-laws are notdesigned to protect smokers but, instead,those that are around the smoking. “Wehave no idea that these products have nodangerous effects on nearby people.”

Electronic cigarettes, sometimes callede-cigs or e-cigarettes, are battery-poweredvaporizers that simulate tobacco smokingby producing smoke-like substances.Councillor Glenn Nashen argued that,while some contend e-cigarettes help peo-ple quit smoking, the devices can also

serve as a gateway or introduction to it.If Côte St. Luc’s tobacco by-law is

amended to include electronic cigarettes, itwill be the first of its kind in Canada.

Housefather said his first experiencewith e-cigarettes was when The Suburban’seditor, Beryl Wajsman, started smokingone in the mayor’s office. Housefather saidthe moment “reminded me that our by-laws don’t yet cover electronic cigarettes.”

Mayor credits Suburban editor’s e-cig for inspiring the by-law

The former Esso gas station at the corner of Mackle Rd. and Cavendish Blvd. will, if all goes as planned,soon be getting a major facelift. Shell has taken over the property and has asked the city to change thezoning so as to allow for an automatic carwash. Plans also include an IGA convenience store and anew gas station. The zoning change went through the first reading during the September 8 councilmeeting and no councillor spoke against the plan that includes new egresses to safely enter and exit theproperty.

During a September 15 presentation onthe city’s already existing emergency pre-paredness plan that includes strategies forjust about every possible disaster, Côte St.Luc’s director of Public Safety, Jordy Reich-son, announced a new mass-notificationsystem that can, in the case of an emer-gency, reach out to every city resident.

The new system, he said, is an opt-in

service that allows citizens to receive emer-gency alerts via phone call, text message, e-mail and more based on the citizen’s loca-tion and concerns. Citizens, he explained,can customize the service to only sendalerts in certain situations, such as a planecrash, train derailment or water supplycontamination. This new system will allowthe city to reach out to every single residentin eight minutes, he said.

Reichson made the announcement dur-ing a presentation on the city’s emergencypreparedness plan, which includes strate-gies for providing shelter, food and waterfor citizens as well as evacuating the city,managing volunteers and recovery. It isimportant, he said, that the city is ready foranything as disasters can strike at any mo-ment. The plan includes communicationstrategies, access to roads, providing elec-tricity and inspections of property afterdisaster strikes.

‘Whole community approach’

“It’s really a whole-community ap-proach,” said Reichson. “It’s the city. It’sthe citizens. It’s our partners. It’s the pri-vate sector.”

The Lake Megantic derailment, whichtook place over a year ago, was brought upseveral times during the meeting as CôteSt. Luc is surrounded by train tracks. The1998 ice storm was discussed at length, aswas the more recent boil-water advisorythat was issued to over 1 million Montreal-ers. It is important, explained Reichson,that the city have a fast and efficient way toreach out to all of its citizens.

“I think that is very important that CôteSt. Luc residents be aware of the emer-gency plan – a plan that is constantly beingupdated – and to understand what theirroles are in the event of an emergency,”said Mayor Anthony Housefather at thestart of the meeting. “The city can only do

so much. Residents need to also do theirpart, follow directions and understand howto act in emergencies.”

According to a city press release, thecity has added all public phone numbers inCôte St. Luc to the system, such as theones listed in the phone book. Therefore,most Côte St. Luc residents will get noti-fied of an emergency by phone withouthaving to sign up for anything.
