The total of the offenses amounts to $2,500.

The Fu Lam restaurant at Center Laval, at 1600 boulevard Le Corbusier, was notably sanctioned since the premises were not free of all species of animals, including rodents, insects or their excrement. The fine amounted to $1000.

This is a repeat offense for the place which was sanctioned by the MAPAQ in April.

Le Jardin des Saules, a private residence for seniors, was instead fined $1,000 because the premises were not designed, built and maintained in such a way as not to contaminate the products. This is also a repeat offense for this place.

The third location targeted by MAPAQ is the Pho Dzung restaurant, located at 1298, boulevard Curé-Labelle. The offense occurred in August 2022 and the fine is $500. MAPAQ deemed that the premises, equipment and materials used for the preparation and storage of the products were not clean.

Remember that a dozen Laval restaurants have been fined since the start of the year.

These total an amount of $3500.

Poissonnerie Sami, a fish shop located at 1550 Daniel-Johnson Boulevard, was fined the largest amounting to $2,000. This is due to a deficiency in storage or any other operation that would be likely to affect food hygiene.

For its part, the ChoNeslya Bar, located at 3725 Sainte-Rose Boulevard, was first fined $1,000 because it “held a heat-alterable product without cooling it without delay and without maintaining it constantly at an internal and ambient temperature not exceeding 4°C until its delivery to the consumer”,  according to the MAPAQ website.

A second offence was noted due to unclean premises, equipment and materials used in the preparation and storage of products. The cost this time was of $500.

Still, according to the MAPAQ website, the ChoNeslya Bar has ceased operations since it was fined a second time on March 6.

This new store concept will be located at 777 Le Corbusier Boulevard. The store will be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since no on-site employee is needed.

Customers simply need to install the mobile app on their smartphone and then create an account using a credit card and an ID. The same application will unlock the doors of the premises, then consumers can complete their purchases at one of the self-service checkouts.

Many products will be available to customers, including a variety of bread and muffins, milk, yogurt, butter, cheeses, ice cream, prepared sandwiches, prepared salads, bacon, fruits and vegetables, as well as sweets.

The markets of the Aisle 24 chain also offer some household products, such as soaps, tissues, toilet paper, cleansers, soaps, shampoos, personal health products and medicines.

Project delayed

The opening of Aisle 24 in Place Montmorency could have already taken place.

“Unfortunately, the condo project of the contractor Montoni [where the market will be located] has taken a lot of delay in their construction, which has a direct impact on us, specifies Jessika Venne, Quebec franchisee of the chain. We can’t give a date, but we’re hoping for spring 2023, May if all goes well!’’

For clarification, the Laval branch will be 1,500 square feet in size and be located on the complex’s ground floor. Many security cameras will be installed to ensure the security of the premises and avoid the risk of theft.

In addition, the restocking and cleaning of Aisle 24 is normally done a minimum of three times a week.

The victim was initially going there as part of an exchange of goods.

The person was hit in the lower body, and taken to a hospital. The SPL confirmed there’s no fear for the life of the victim despite serious.

The police received a first call in connection with the conflict at 6:40 p.m. because of the gunshots heard. Once there, the SPL arrested a 34-year-old suspect, who was still being held on the morning of Dec. 6.

The SPL is still looking for another suspect linked with the events.

Trading Place

A neutral meeting area was inaugurated in November 2021, at the SPL Headquarters, which is located at 2911, Chomedey Boulevard.

Available at all times and filmed 24 hours a day, the meeting area allows citizens to trade goods safely.

At the time of that zone’s inauguration, the SPL was already considering the creation of at least two other exchange areas on the territory, in particular in Chomedey and Pont-Viau.

It was the first time that event took place in Laval.

Three matches per day were scheduled between the teams of Stephen F. Austin, Quinnipiac, Montana State, UNCG, MTSU, and Hofstra.

“We know Montreal and Laval are basketball fans,” said Emilio Zaga Mendez, brand manager at Evenko. “We hope it becomes a recurring event every year.”

MTSU Stands Out

All six teams played three matches during the weekend.

MTSU was the only perfect team, winning its three matches. It first defeated Hofstra by a score of 64-54, then registered a convincing 75-63 victory over Stephen F. Austin the next day. The team concluded its weekend by winning a close 72-71 battle against Montana State.

Quinnipac and Hofstra finished the weekend with two wins and one loss. Hofstra also signed a 72-70 win in the game between the two teams, despite a late comeback from Quinnipac. It was also the last game of the event.

The other three universities competing, UNCG (1-2), Stephen F. Austin (1-2) and Montana State (0-3), all when back home with negative records.

Those were sanctioned games by the NCAA. They will thus influence the qualification of each of those teams for the post-season tournament.

The first pedestrian was travelling from east to west, at 7656, des Laurentides Boulevard, which is located between Riopelle and Rémillard streets, in Auteuil. The driver was heading south when the collision occurred.

“Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers were attempted when help arrived, but the death of the victim was confirmed on the spot,” confirmed the Service de police de Laval (SPL) spokesperson, Stéphanie Beshara. “The victim was a 61-year-old man.”

Critical Condition

The second incident took place on Cartier Boulevard.

A 37-year-old woman was crossing Cartier Boulevard to get to that terminus of the same name. However, she was hit by a vehicle travelling east.

The SPL said the victim’s in serious condition, and that we fear for her life. The driver, in her 40s, was treated for a nervous shock.

For both cases, the SPL favours the thesis of accidental events.

He mentioned that the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which mainly affects young children, had already peaked a few days ago, and that its circulation is decreasing. The effect of that slowdown should be reflected in pediatric care units in the coming weeks. On the other side, the influenza’s peak has still not arrived.

“It’s a virus in strong progression,” Boileau said. “All indicators of the flu season started much faster than usual. There’s high activity, and it’s on its way to even higher.”

He added that December is likely to be tough on that side, and he expects a peak by the end of 2022.

It’s a similar case for the COVID-19 situation, which is gaining momentum again in Quebec. That is largely due to the increased presence of the BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 variants, which have become the dominant strains in the province.

No Measure for Now

Despite the difficult month that awaits Quebecers, Boileau confirmed he will not issue new recommendations for health measures.

He still invites all citizens to get a dose of vaccine against the various viruses, including the influenza, which was made available free of charge to the entire population a little over a week ago.

That’s particularly recommended for people aged 60 and over, pregnant women, people with chronic illnesses, and parents of children under six months.

Among the other possible actions, Boileau noted the fact of staying at home when flu symptoms are appearing, wearing a mask in busy environments, and limiting the exposure of young children by reducing outings and visits.

As for the mask in schools, he doesn’t believe it’s necessary to force everyone to wear it. However, he recommends it for all those wishing to do so, as well as students and staff members with symptoms, such as a sore throat or cough.

Most of the medalists were participants of the 55^e Finale des Jeux du Québec – Laval 2022 (Quebec Games). That evening also made it possible to recognize the dedication of all organizers of the event.

“They’ve worked for more than three years to brilliantly welcome sports delegations from all regions of the province, and promote our municipality,” said member of the executive committee and responsible for leisure and sports files at the City of Laval, Nicholas Borne, by press release.

Members of the board of directors and organizing committee of the provincial competition received a personalized gift during this evening.

For their part, the young athletes of the 22 sports disciplines of the Quebec Games were honoured. Nine gold medals (international level) were awarded, followed by 15 silver (national level) and 82 bronze (provincial level).

Pierre-Marchand Prize

The Pierre-Marchand prize was awarded to triathlete Émile Pichette.

Pichette tried triathlon for the first time in 2021 to keep in shape for the alpine ski season, despite the pandemic. During that first summer, he participated in two triathlons, without obtaining performances comparable to those he reached on the ski slopes.

“He remained motivated, and his perseverance finally allowed him to qualify for the Quebec Games in 2022, after having reached the standards of the three triathlon disciplines,” specified the City. “His evolution continued during those Games, when he obtained a better result than what he had achieved in the Laval triathlon.”

Pichette also participated in four competitions during the summer, finishing with a second place in his last triathlon, in Valleyfield.

Alexandre-Despatie Scholarship

The Alexandre-Despatie scholarship, aimed at rewarding a high-level athlete, whose commitment and performance are directly linked to the City of Laval’s Physical Activity Policy, was awarded to boxer Marie-Bathoul Al- Ahmadieh.

In addition to being a provincial champion, the Laval resident was selected to represent the national junior boxing team on several occasions.

In recent months, she has won a gold medal with Team Canada at the Brandenburg Box Cup, in Germany, in addition to being named Boxer of the Tournament.

Winner of the silver medal at the Golden Girl Boxing Championship, in Sweden, she also repeated the feat at the Bornemissza Memorial Tournament, presented in Hungary.

Still on the rise, Al-Ahmadieh currently ranks first in the Canadian rankings, in the Women Jr, 57 kg category. (N.P.)

That financial assistance will be given to more than 6.5 million taxpayers.

The amount will be $600 for people whose individual income does not exceed $50,000. It will gradually decrease for those with an income slightly above $50,000.

It will be $400 for the $54,000 to $100,000 range. Again, there will be a distribution, which will be gradually reduced to $104,000.

That amount will be adjusted, according to income for 2021. Also, it must be noted that it’s non-taxable, and will be remitted by direct deposit, or cheque by the end of 2022.

Revenu Québec specifies that citizens don’t have to do anything in order to receive the money.

Those who are yet to file their 2021 tax return have until June 30, 2023 to do so, and thus take advantage of that new measure.

People who received last-resort financial assistance on Dec. 31, 2021, and benefit from the automatic payment of the TQS component of the solidarity tax credit, don’t have to file an income tax return to be eligible for the cheque. (N.P.)

Clavel also expressed herself on social networks.

“I am sick,” Clavel wrote on Facebook. “I have a 40-degree fever since yesterday afternoon. I’m lucky to have a promoter who cares about my health. Unlike basketball, I can’t bench if I’m not feeling good. Boxing is dangerous.”

For his part, Michel maintained that Clavel’s affected by influenza, via his Twitter account.

“Following the recommendation of Doctor Francis Fontaine concerning the state of health of Clavel, we’re forced to postpone the unification fight,” the tweet says.

The promoter added that more details about the event would be released today.

Tomorrow’s bout was set to oppose her against Nery Plata in a WBC and WBA title unification fight. Five other fights were scheduled for the event.
