publishing group.Though the establishment recorded nearly pertect results from the Ministry for Health and Social Services in its medical report card of Québec's hospital complexes, published in September 2002.it recorded less prominent results in à more recent investigation made public carly last week.The institution received an overall grade of C+, placing it on an equal footing with cight other provincial hospitals.Of the Montérégie hospitals, onlv the Anna- Laberge in Châteauguay scored higher than the Haut St-Laurent establishment, with a grade of B-.In 2002.the Ormstown hospital carned an A grade for patient satisfaction with regard to the services they benefit from.The report card revealed that patients spent an average of 12.9 hours in the Barric Memorial Hospital's emergency room, with 3.4 per cent of stays exceeding 48 hours.Patients ages 75 years and older accounted for 27.9 per cent of the hospital\u2019s clientele, while the level of admissions after onc visit amounted to 19.1 per cent.Four criteria were used to draw up the 2006 report card.These included the aver age waiting time.the proportion of people waiting two days or more.the proportion of users aged 75 vears and more.and the rate of hospitalization following a visit to the emergency room.\u201cLooking closely at this portrait.the first thing we nouce 1s that the difference between the top establishments and ours is rather shim.\u201d said the director gencral of the Haut St-laurent Health and Socal Services Centre.Guy Deschènes, in à short interview with The Gleaner La Source after the report card's publication.He also underlined the narrow difference in the average emergency stays between institutions at the top of the list.and those that follow closely.However.Deschènes also questions the range of data.which docs not entirely do justice to the current operation of Ormstown\u2019s emergency room.Among other statistics.he notes the hospitalization rate of 19.1 per cent after one visit attributed to the hospital.\u201cHospitals at the top of the list tend to hospitalize patients more than others.The more they hospitalize, the more As they get.Here, the medical approach is different and because of that.this criterion penalizes us.\u201d he explained.Hospital directors do not take the 3.4 per cent rate of emergency room stays exceeding 48 hours lightly.\u201cThis figure is more problematic for us.We should think efforts will be made to improve this situation.\u201d claimed Deschênes.The 2006 report card also made it possible to draw up à comparative evaluation of the Montérégic\u2019s emergency rooms.The Barrie Memorial rates well by comparison to the other institutions which.excepting the Anna-Laberge hospital complex, all scored lower.\u201cThis is a sign that our position is far from catastrophic.\u201d insisted Deschenes.The data used for this report card was obtained by the Ministry for Health and Social Services from the

Chateauguay River, near the United Church, Huntingdon at about 2:45 on Tuesday afternoon .The men had hired a row-boat and had been rowing on the river near the Walker Bridge, when they decided to come into the bank near the bridge.They got out of the boat under difficulty and made their way onto the bank, where they laid down in the sun.The boat was turned over and righted again during the operations of landing on the bank.Later they attempted to return to the boat and two of the men carried their friend to the boat and placed him in it, while one of them fell into the water, but was pulled out by the other.The one in the boat attempted to get out and he fell into the water and stayed there.Several of the workers in the burling dept.of Leach Textiles Ltd.saw what was going on and rushed out to help the men.Mr.A.Lumsden went into the river after the man lying on the bottom, [ 30 years ago | May 5, 1976 21 of 85 TEACHERS WILL QUIT CVR AT END OF TERM More than 20 teachers have handed in their cnd-of-year resignations from the Chateauguay Valley Regional High School staff this year, a number that is at least double the average annual turnover.Of these, at least six plan to leave the province, \u201cFed-up\u201d with salaries and the ongoing contract conflict with government.\u201cWe are losing an awful lot of good teachers\u201d CVR Principal Lloyd Adamson told The Gleaner following last Friday's deadline for resignations.This figure of 20.5 resignations (one is a part-time teacher) represents more than 20 per cent of the staff.LOCALS On Tuesday of last week the roof of the kitchen of the house occupied at Trout River Lines by customs-officer McGibbon was discovered to be on fire.The neighbors flocked to assist and a well being convenient, the fire was extinguished without during much damage.It was insured in the Mutual Company, and at the meeting of the board on Tuesday, the owner of the building, Mr.Patrick Tallon, presented a bill of the cost of repairing the roof, amounting to $80, which was ordered to be paid.Mr.McGibbon had a policy in an American company on his furniture, and expects to be indemnified for the injury done to it by smoke and water.while Miss Allison Stark waded in to help him bring the man out.Mr.Lumsden found the man lying face down on a rock and had much difficulty in bringing him to shore.Mrs.E.Brethour gave the man artificial respiration for a few minutes and then Mr.Irving Laberge continued the aid, but they were unable to restore consciousness.The unconscious man was taken to the Huntingdon County Hospital and treated, but remained unconscious for about three hours.He was given a little nourishment during the evening.This man\u2019s surname is Innes, while the other two are McCormick and McGowan.McCormick and Innes are close friends and McCormick was quite worried about his friend\u2019s condition.While several persons tried to restrain him from going to the hospital, he finally started running quite fast in that direction and upon arriving there, he collapsed on the steps.Both men were kept at the hospital, while McGowan was taken back to the D.V.A.center and put to bed.Apart from those resignations due to retirement and those who have to resign by law because of lack of full qualification and who may be rehired at a later date, teachers have mentioned two main factors in their decisions to leave.\u201cWe are losing several of our staff who live in Montreal because of last winter\u2019s terrible road conditions, and frequency of accidents, one of which killed three teachers before Christmas,\u201d said Adamson.Those who plan to leave Quebec have found better-paying jobs outside the province, in teaching or in other fields.\u201cMost are in the younger age brackets, and have decided to move out in search of better opportunities,\u201d the principal said.Th 66 Chéteauguay St., Huntingdon, Qc, JOS 1HO Tel.: (450) 264-5364 - Fax: (450) 264-9521

recently needed to use the 911 service because I could smell something burning and saw some smoke in my basement.Fortunately, it turned out to be nothing serious.This experience made me realize how lucky we are to have such a group of dedicated firemen and women, who will drop whatever they doing and go the rescue.The 911 service was fast, efficient and reassuring and before I knew it, there must have been a couple of dozen people at my house to do whatever was necessary.They graciously told me that they would rather come out on a call like mine where they didn\u2019t need to do anything.It turns out that they had been out most of the previous night on a fire call.After dark, about a week later, I saw them at the bridges in Dewittville doing a practice/training.These people

Ee ET re De SOIT OV PET EP CU Fo RSS, The Haut St-Laurent will have a farmers\u2019 market ENR AEA LL NE VE ae Soon, it will be possible to buy fresh agricultural produce from several merchants under one roof in the Haut St- Laurent.A new farmers\u2019 market offering local agricultural produce will be opened in the MRC early this summer.A provisional committee was formed to coordinate the establishment and to decide the operating regulations for future site.\u201cThe opening of the farmers\u2019 market is scheduled for next July,\u201d said Carolyn O\u2019Grady, rural and bio-food development advisor for the Haut St-Laurent development centre (CLD).The official site for the market has not yet been selected.This public market in the Haut St- Laurent will bring together several farmers and a variety of their produce under one roof, as well as several artisans and their creations.\u201cA farmers\u2019 market offering agricultural produce gives agricultural producers and market gardeners the chance to meet consumers one on one,\u201d adds O\u2019Grady.The new regional farmers\u2019 market would offer products as diverse as vegetables, fruits, cheeses, meats, breads and pastries, maple products, pies, jams, herbs, spices and other types of foods and even flowers.Crafts could also be sold by local artisans.\u201cHowever, the products to be sold on this site will be 100 per cent produced locally,\u201d affirmed O\u2019 Grady.Consumers will be able to buy produce at the market throughout July, August and September.The site will be open one half- day each week.Ontario The future farmers\u2019 market will take as a model the renowned Jean-Talon market, and others in the Montréal area, as well as those established in Ontario.Passing through Huntingdon to speak at an information meeting on April 24 at the Salle Alfred-Langevin, the executive director of Farmers Markets Ontario, Robert Chorney, explained the factors for success and the various promotional strategies that made these markets a success in Ontario.According to Chorney, the winning recipe for Ontario\u2019s markets is based on tried and true ingredients like a welcoming atmosphere pervading these sites, a neat display of produce, the personalized service offered to customers, the freshness of the produce and the cordial bonds between producers and visitors.Part of the success of these sites also rests on the publicity and marketing efforts agreed upon by the merchants.Nearly 60 people attended this meeting, organized by the CLD in collaboration with the Québec Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.Many farmers were in attendance, as were company representatives and business people.Some elected municipal officials were also present.More than 20 farmers have already expressed interest in participating in the start-up of a new farmers\u2019 market.Agricultural businesses of the Haut St- Laurent will have priority for spaces at the market, but the door will also remain open to producers whose products are not available in the area.A provisional committee was formed at the end of the meeting.\u201cThe committee members come from varied backgrounds, including agri-food production, the craft industry, and trade, business and consumer representatives.Municipal and other socio-economic representatives are also included,\u201d explained O'Grady.The presidency was entrusted to Patricia Whitford, a Godmanchester agricultural producer.She will be assisted by vice-president Francis Jourdain, treasurer Diane McLean and O'Grady as secretary.Maison des Jeunes The Maison des Jeunes\u2019 sex ado workshop will be starting later than scheduled.The training of instructors has been delayed until May 16 in Longueuil.Therefore the Sex Ado Workshop is scheduled to begin May 18 at 4:00 p.m.in Huntingdon.In total there will be 5 short workshops on the following dates: May 18, May 23, May 25, May 30 and June 1.All of the workshops will be held from 4:00-6:00 p.m.In addition to the Sex Ado workshops, upcoming activities ball hockey players are promised one more night to sweat it out at the skate park beside Arthur Pigeon, May 24 at 6:00 p.m.In case of rain the activity will be moved to St.Joseph's Elementary School.Each participant must bring their own equipment, including a Helmet with a grill and a stick.L'equipe Maison des Jeunes Julie Dahmé, Animator Champagne, Animator Michline Caza, Director ee PE a would like to wish -

and many more minor injuries are never even reported.Further, the social cost of agricultural injuries has been estimated at $200-300 million annually by the Canadian Agricultural Injury Surveillance Program (CAISP).\u201cFarm safety is my business\u201d is the theme of this year\u2019s Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW) campaign.The campaign emphasizes the personal and professional responsibilities of farm owners and managers for their own safety as well as for their workers.CASW is delivered by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) and the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) in partnership with Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC).\u201cMost of us know how to do things safely, but sometimes we choose not to,\u201d John Ryan, Farm Credit Canada (FCC) President and CEO, says.\u201cIt is easy to think \u2018It won\u2019t happen to me.\u201d Owner- operators need to do everything in their power to reduce the risk of farm accidents.Owning a farm operation means taking responsibility for farm safety.\u201d Broadly speaking, two out of three farm fatalities (60%) tend to be the owner-operator.The remaining farm fatalities tend to be: a child of the owner-operator (15%); a hired worker (12%); a relative - perhaps a brother or parent (8%); or the owner-operator\u2019s spouse (3%), with the remaining (2%) being other visitors, reveals CAISP studies.In an effort to create more effective farm safety initiatives, FarmSafe Australia recently examined the constraints and reasons why farmers tend not to adhere to farm safety practices.The study revealed the following broad themes: - Farmers\u2019 values and attitudes; - economic and cost-related issues; - shortcomings in education and training; - age and poor design of farm machinery and safety equipment; - characteristics of the work force, work practices and farm environment; - deficiencies in the performance of government departments and other responsible authorities; - inconsistent support from farmer organizations and rural industry groups; and, - competing priorities.The next step was to identify potential initiatives and policies to overcome these constraints when developing farm safety training and materials, included: gh FRESH & FROZEN CUTS VEAL, PORK, BEEF, LAMB CusIoM \"CUTTING & WRAPPING www.boucherevalens.com [Sy - Targeting of the less depressed segments of the farming industry; - coupling high profile awareness and anxiety raising campaigns with the provision of accessible and workable solutions and with reduced or absent financial barriers; - support for safety training and incentives for low cost do-it-yourself farm safety-related projects as part of \u2018rural relief\u2019 packages; - incentives such as insurance \u2018no- claim\u2019 or other bonuses, and government incentives to encourage safety innovations on farms; - marketing of farm safety in a way that links it to the higher ranked priorities of farmers, such as improved productivity and maintenance of the farm family lifestyle; - inclusion of safety as a focus in all industries and sectors which serve agriculture; and, - improving the design of personal protective equipment and increasing its accessibility.The study showed that the more successful injury prevention programs generally implemented a mixture of education, environmental, design, legislative and enforcement strategies.An important challenge in farm safety is to design the right mix of strategies and counter- {0 farm safety needs of farmers such as high productivity.It is equally important to know your audience, how to reach them, their perspective, and economic climate.This is significant considering that in Canada, 61 per cent of farms are owned and operated by one person, 27 per cent are partnerships, 10 per cent are family corporations, and only 2 per cent of farms are non-family corporations, as indicated by Statistics Canada.\u201cAt FCC we are committed to farm safety and believe a solid understanding of safety constraints leads to effective solutions and long-term success,\u201d Ryan says.The CFA along with the FCC, CASA, and AAFC want to remind Canadian farmers that \u201cFarm safety is my business\u201d means that you are responsible for your safety and that of your workers.EXPRESS CASINO 1 5s Receive $10 in Privilege Dollars 4 & $10 for your next visit.Departures Wednesday morning and Thursday evenings.Group departure on request.Schedules & reservation : Michèle (ext.311) orBianca (et 305) 373-8747 Contribution to collective fund of 30,35 per $100 induded.REMAX DEF!

Haut St-Laurent Health and Social Services Centre (CSSS, Centre de santé et de services sociaux) welcomed Barrie Memorial Hospital volunteers on April 20 to thank them for their involvement in the restoration of some of the institution\u2019s wings.Renovation work in the surgery wing, in the rehabilitation unit, in the external clinic and in the archives department was made possible by donations from the Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary amounting to $277,000, and from the Québec Barrie Memorial Hospital Foundation amounting to $850,000.The balance came from the establishment\u2019s own assets.The total bill for the completion of the project amounts to nearly $2 million.Huntingdon deputy, André Chenail, highlighted his attachment at the hospital and, on the same occasion, thanked the Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary and the Foundation members for their engagement with the institution.He also took the opportunity to congratulate the personnel for the quality of the services they offer to the public.The chairman of the board of the CSSS, Milton Reddick, joined Chenail in thanking the Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary and the population for their generosity towards this establishment.Meanwhile, the outgoing president of the Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary, Lynn Caza, thanked the members of her group and invited residents to join the movement and continue this long tradition of support for the hospital.She also thanked the succession of Mrs.Eleanor and Mr.Harold Vinette, which allowed for the realization of this restoration work through an exceptional contribution.The evening ended with annual general assembly of the Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary and the adoption of the new budget estimates for the years 2006-2008.At the annual general assembly last April 20, the group announced that it generously offered the hospital a sum of $250,000 for a second consecutive year.This amount will be used to finance the purchase of equipment and for specific projects.Michelle Greig was elected president of the Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary for 2006-2008, while Janick Tétrault-Moise was elected vice-president.Hospital Foundation golf tournament revived RE Ell EE LL LRT After a five-year lapse, the

Fa miliprix Michel Hohuu Danh Nguyen Palmarès des salles d'urgence des centres hospitaliers du Québec L'hôpital Barrie Memorial au milieu de peloton Patrice Laflamme Lhopital Barric Memorial se trouve en milieu de peloton du palmarès des 88 unités d'urgence de centres hospitaliers du Québec publié par le journal La Presse et le groupe de presse Gesca.Si l'établissement avait enregistré des notes presque parfaites de la part du ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux dans son tout bulletin de santé des centres hospitaliers québécois paru en septembre 2002.il a enregistré des résultats un peu moins performants dans cette enquête rendu public en début de semaine dernière.L'institution s\u2019est vu attribuer une note globale de C plus, sur un pied d'égalité avec huit autres hôpitaux de la province ont aussi reçu cette note.De tous les établissements de la Montérégie, seul le centre hospitalier Anna-Laberge de Châteauguay (B moins) a obtenu une évaluation supérieure à celle du site du Haut Saint- Laurent.En 2002.le centre hospitalier d'Ormstown s'était vu attribuer des À au chapitre de la satisfaction des patients à l\u2019égard des services dont ils bénéficient.Ce bulletin révèle que le nombre d'heures passées pour un patient à la salle d'urgence de l'hôpital Barrie Memorial est de 12,9 heures et que les séjours de 48 heures et plus atteignent 3,40 pour cent.Le pourcentage de la clientèle âgée de 75 ans et plus se situe à 27,90 pour cent tandis que le niveau des admissions après une visite se chiffre à 19,10 pour cent.Quatre critères ont été employés pour dresser ce relevé 2006.II s'agit de la durée moyenne des heures d'attente.de la proportion des personnes qui attendent l'équivalent de deux jours ou plus et de celle d'usagers âgés de 75 ans et plus ainsi que du taux d\u2019hospitalisations apres une présence à la salle d'urgence.«En regardant de près le portrait, la première chose qui saute aux yeux, c'est que la différence entre les premiers établissements et le nôtre est assez mince», indique le directeur général du centre de santé et de services sociaux du Haut Saint- Laurent, Guy Deschênes, dans une brève entrevue accordée au Gleaner/La Source à la suite de la parution de ce bulletin.Il n\u2019a pas manqué de souligner le faible écart entre la durée moyenne des séjours à l'urgence entre les institutions en tête de liste et celles qui suivrent de près.M.Deschênes se questionne toutefois sur la portée de certaines données qui ne rendent pas justice au fonctionnement actuel de l'urgence à Ormstown.Il cite entre autres le taux de 19,10 pour cent d'hospitalisations après une présence à cette unité attribué à l\u2019hôpital.«Les hôpitaux au sommet du palmarès ont tendance à hospitaliser davantage les patients que les autres.Plus ils hospitalisent, plus ils obtiennent des À.Ici, l'approche médicale est différente et à cause à cela, ce critère nous pénalise», indique-t-il.Les dirigeants ne prendront pas à la légère le taux de 3,40 pour cent de la durée des séjours de 48 heures et plus à la salle d'urgence.«C\u2019est un chiffre qui nous apparaît plus problématique.Il y a lieu de penser que des cfforts seront faits pour améliorer le rendement».pense M.Deschénes.Le tableau 2006 à aussi permis de dresser une évaluation comparative des unités d'urgence des hôpitaux montérégiens.Barrie Memorial tire plutôt bien son épingle du jeu face aux autres établissements qui ont obtenu des notes inférieures à la sicnne, à l'exception du centre hospitalier Anna-Laberge.«C\u2019est signe que notre position est loin d'être catastrophique».croit M.Deschènes.Toutes les données utilisées pour ce tableau ont été obtenus par le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux pour l\u2019année 2004-2005.La méthodologie a été établie par quotidien La Presse, qui s'est servi des mêmes critères que ceux employés pour le classement des hôpitaux du Québec quatre ans plus tôt.Financement des recherches sur la sclérose en

sera projeté l\u2019an prochain dans les salles de cinéma du Québec.Une équipe viendra dans la municipalité pour tourner des scènes du film québécois «La lâcheté».Le réalisateur Marc Bisaillon, les acteurs, les techniciens et le personnel de soutien seront sur place du 6 au 18 juin.1 M.Bisaillon, la productrice Christine Falco, et le directeur de production Sébastien Poussard, étaient de passage en ville jeudi en matinée pour une visite du lieu de sépulture de la rue François- Cleyn.Ce qu\u2019ils ont vu les a enchantés.«Entre Drummondville et les Etats- Unis, il s\u2019agit du plus gros et du plus beau cimetière qui nous a été donné de visiter, à cause de la grande quantité d\u2019arbres qui s\u2019y trouvent et de la présence d\u2019un petit pavillon de services.C\u2019est un peu comme si j'avais écrit le film pour qu\u2019il se marie à merveille avec l\u2019endroit», estime M.Bisaillon qui s\u2019est également chargé du scénario.Une entente a été conclue auparavant entre la firme Les Films Camera Oscura et le comité de direction du cimetière pour pouvoir tourner des i sur le site.«La coopération des.gens du comité, dont Donald McCaig, a été exceptionnelle.Nous nous sommes entendus avec eux sur l\u2019utilisation du site tout en préservant le cachet et en respectant l\u2019intégrité des lieux», précise Mme Falco.La compagnie a aussi reçu une lettre d\u2019approbation de la Ville de Huntingdon.«Nous leur faisons totalement confiance», a indiqué pour sa part le président du comité de direction du cimetière, Donald McCaig.II a servi de guide à M.Bisaillon et son groupe ce matin-là.Avant de venir à Huntingdon, le groupe amorcera le tournage à Montréal.Le premier tour de manivelle | sera donné le 24 mai.| S'\u2019inspirant d\u2019une histoire vraie qui s\u2019est déroulée au Québec en 1961, ce film écrit et réalisé par M.Bisaillon, raconte les tribulations d\u2019un fossoyeur mal marié qui s\u2019amourache d\u2019une prostituée qui, de son côté, prépare l\u2019eniève- ment d\u2019une jeune fille.«C\u2019est un thriller psychologique», « Les comédiens Denis Trudel (Octobre), Hélène Froment (Un homme mort) et Geneviève Rioux tiendront les rôles principaux.Gaston Lepage et Marcel Sabourin seront aussi de la distribution.Le film compte 26 personnages parlants et devrait aussi appel à des nombreux figurants.La firme Les Films Camera Oscura,

envers le député provincial de Huntingdon, André Chenail, qu'il accuse de faire preuve de mauvaise foi et de vouloir s\u2019attribuer tout le crédit pour l'annonce de la participation financière du gouvernement du Québec à la remise à neuf des bâtisses du nouveau parc industriel de la Ville, constitué des anciennes usines de Cleyn & Tinker et de Huntingdon Mills.Réagissant à l\u2019article publiée en page une de La Source du 26 avril faisant état de l\u2019accord donné par le gouvernement provincial au plan de rénovation et de réaménagement de bâtiments industriels de la municipalité par le biais du programme de travaux d'infrastructures Canada- Québec, M.Gendron estime que le député fait fausse route sur toute la ligne.«M.Chenail s\u2019est battu contre la subvention demandée

avoir traité directement avec la ministre des Affaires municipales du Québec, Nathalie Normandeau, en vue de la conclusion de I'accord.Une déclaration que le maire a voulu mettre en pièces.«C\u2019est

d\u2019emprunt de 2,5 millions$.M.Chenail n\u2019a joué aucun rôle direct là-dedans.Ce règlement d\u2019emprunt est le résultat de mes efforts, de ceux du conseil et de ceux de la commissaire industrielle, Colette Arsenault», a-t-il fait savoir.Le premier magistrat soutient que lors de cette rencontre du 21 décembre, il a rendu public le versement des subventions promises à

juin, le centre de la petite enfance (CPE) Kaleidoscope de Hinchinbrooke devient le bureau coordonnateur des services de garde en milieu familial dans le Haut Saint-Laurent.L'établissement a été choisie le 28 avril par la ministre de la Famille, des Aînés et de la Condition féminine du Québec, Carole Théberge, pour gérer les services de garde en milieu familial de la MRC.À la suite d\u2019un processus d'analyse rigoureux des 379 candidatures soumises, elle a agréé les 164 bureaux coordonnateurs pour l\u2019ensemble du Québec.Ces ressources sont dorénavant appelés à assurer pleinement la gestion des services de garde en milieu familial sur les territoires qui leur sont désignés.D\u2019ici là, ce sont les centres de la petite enfance qui assument actuellement ce mandat qui continueront de le faire.La directrice du CPE Kaleidoscope, Louise Valin, souligne que le rôle du bureau coordonnateur consistera, entre autres, à offrir aux responsables des services de garde en milieu familial et le soutien pédagogique et technique dont elles ont besoin.«Notre tâche sera de gérer les places et de fournir une série de services dont l\u2019accès aux conseillères pédagogiques», indique-t-elle.Le bureau coordonnateur informera également les parents des places disponibles en milieu familial, ce qui facilitera pour eux la recherche de places.Mme Valin a voulu rassurer les parents qui tiennent à ce que leurs enfants continuent de fréquenter le même service de garde en milieu familial «qui sera soutenu par le bureau coordonnateur», souligne-t- elle.En plus d\u2019assurer la bonne marche de ceux offerts dans le Haut Saint-Laurent, le CPE Kaléidoscope compte établir dans un proche avenir des services de garde en milieu familial dans le territoire autochtone d\u2019Akwasasne.«Des contacts ~ .viennent à peine d\u2019être établis avec la réserve, par l\u2019entremise du ministère des Affaires indiennes.C\u2019est sur la bonne voie», indique Mme Valin.Du côté du CPE Do-Mi-Si-La-Do-Ré, qui possède des installations à Huntingdon et Saint-Antoine-Abbé, ce sont aussi 250 enfants et 42 personnes qui passent sous la responsabilité du nouveau bureau coordonnateur.Contrairement aux deux autres établissements de la MRC, le CPE Abracadabra d\u2019Ormstown n\u2019a pas soumis sa candidature pour recevoir le bureau coordonnateur.L\u2019établissement voit ses 50 enfants et ses huit responsables en milieu familial passer sous le giron du CPE Kaleidoscope.La directrice générale du CPE Kaleidoscope dit s'attendre à ce que les deux autres centres collaborent étroitement pour que les services de garde en milieu familial gardent leur pleine efficacité malgré cette période de transition.pepuis 1850 ou anciens@collegebourget.qc.ca Fête annuelle
