Elements of investigation suggests that other people may have been victims, and investigators would like to get in touch with them.

Facts

On August 13, Benoit Hotte was at parc Bernard-Landry, formerly parc Prairie, located in Laval-Des-Rapides.

During the day, he would have put his hand in his pants while looking at a young girl, and then would have taken them down in front of her.

The accused appeared a first time on August 15 at Laval’s courthouse, on charges of indecent action and exhibitionism.

Laval had previously lost 5-0 at the stadium of parc Paul-Marcel-Maheu, in the first game of that best-of-three series.

The Pirates were entering a new cycle after three consecutive seasons with a positive record. This season, they had a rather difficult year on the field. The team went 14-28, good for fourth and second-to-last in the West Division.

Things haven’t improved in the last part of the regular schedule. Laval’s team finished the season losing eight of its last 10 games, including the last five.

Individually

Offensively, Gabriel Laroche led the Pirates in batting average (.508) and home runs (four). Frédéric Achard-Groleau is the one who had the most hits (38) and RBIs (26).

No pitcher on the team concluded the 2022 season with more than three wins.

The park is located in the very centre of the city, on one of its most important boulevards, “the most beautiful”, said Romanian-born microbiologist Vania Atudorei.

A youth centre is located very close to the place, and right in front of the large hospital of the region.

Other Details

Laval Park is 2360 square meters. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of this twinning, the municipal authorities of Botosani have planted 15,000 flowers, and 1,100 shrubs are planted there.

“At all entrances and exits of the city, the municipality has installed road signs recalling this international twinning,” Atudorei said.

Atudorei’s also the president of the Romanian Association of Laval, and has been living on Île Jésus for more than 30 years.

Important Gesture

Let’s recall that in Quebec, the Romanian community numbers around 55,000 people.

“It’s a tribute to the ethnic diversity of Laval, the third largest city in Quebec [and tenth in Canada], in the current context where 30 per cent of its population comes from cultural communities,” Atudorei concluded.

Founded between a plain of Romanian Moldavia and the plateau of Suceava, Botosanie had a population of 106,847 inhabitants in 2011, as indicated on the Wikipedia page of Romania’s northeastern municipality.

For the first three weeks of June, it was possible to rend a boat on weekends, while since June 24, it’s possible every day.

The Saint-Jean Baptiste Day also marked the opening of rental centres in Bois-des-Filion (669, Gérard Street) and Saint-Eustache (53, 25^th Avenue).

In collaboration with partner cities, Éco-Nature will operate this summer those three reception buildings on the North Shore, in the wake of the recreational tourism project ERRE écomobilité.

Aiming to provide new access to the river while promoting the sites of interest of each of the participating municipalities, those drop-off points will help to reduce the pressure on Sainte-Rose’s site, the main gateway to the Parc de Rivière-des-Milles-Îles, which welcomes more than 130,000 visitors every year.

Novelty

This season, Éco-Nature and its partners will hold the Propulse ton été event on the rental sites of Boisbriand (June 18), Bois-des-Filion (July 3) and Saint-Eustache (July 9), with kiosks, animation, a family zone, games, prizes to win and discounts on boat rental for the day and on future visits.

Moreover, guided family fishing, grass fishing, initiation to kayaking and paddle boarding activities, as well as dusk kayak tours resumed the first weekend of June, while the immersive day camp Aventuriers de nature has welcomed young explorers aged 6 to 14 since June 27.
