Here are your November news… your executive was VERY busy!!

BELL MOBILITY:

It is confirmed that the tower of Mont Ste-Marie will be in operation on January 2017. All the village of LSM will have a good reception. Unfortunately all our sectors are not included in the improvement of the wireless service, so we will continue as before … false hopes especially for emergency services. We have send a email expressing our views on this important topic for us since must of all our members are in a dead zone with no reception.

GAS STATION:

The project of a gas station at LSM for gasoline and also a electric recharging station is taking its course. More news soon.

LOCAL BUSINESS IN LAC-SAINTE-MARIE:

It’s finish. Thank you Jenny! LIST of local business for 2017 is here: Take a look:http://www.lac-sainte-marie.com/en/our_enterprises.php

FISHING TOURNAMENT:

It’s a go with Mark Proulx… more news once the committee had it’s first meeting.

NAUTICAL SAFETY:

53% of our members voted by email or telephone. 57% of our members are indifferent (neutral) to this proposal. Among those who had an opinion … 12 voted YES (50%) and 12 voted NO (50%). For the executive, the result of this vote is inconclusive. As president, I contacted the regional park to hear their views on this proposal. The park told us that it had already applied for two patrol visits for the summer of 2017. We will ask for an additional visit or that the second visit by the patrol be from Bowman’s boat launch instead of Lac Campion which is further north.

We are thinking of installing next summer a 4ft by 4ft metal sign similar to this one which is not official yet at the entry point of Newton Bay. enseigne_baienewton

 

BOAT WASHING PROJECT IN LSM:

The «REGROUPEMENT POUR LA PROTECTION DE L’EAU DE LA VALLÉE DE LA GATINEAU» will renew the free washing stations next year because some were very busy (ex: in Gracefield) and others much less (ex: Low). Locally, it may be that the new LSM youth center will want to run a boat washing station at Lac Ste-Marie for 2017. We cross our fingers.
