Mont-Bellevue Neighbourhood Watch
If there’s something that shouldn’t be seasonal, it’s how
neighbours can help each other by keeping an eye out for
suspicious activity.
It has been clearly demonstrated that neighbourhood watch
programs reduce thefts and other crimes. But for this to be
effective, there must be well-established cooperation among
neighbours. The Neighbourhood Watch committee is there to
support neighbours who want to get organized to establish a
direct channel of communication with various services, including
the police department, through the community safety division,
and the city, through the Borough of Mont-Bellevue.
The Mont-Bellevue Neighbourhood Watch committee
invites anyone interested in getting involved or seeking
more information to attend its meetings. An officer from the
community safety division attends the meetings that are held
at the Précieux-Sang church located at 785, rue Thibault in
Sherbrooke.

YOUTH CENTER
For nearly 19 years now, the Maison des jeunes
Azimut Nord has been working with kids aged 12
to 18. Our dynamic and qualified team has developed
an expertise enabling its members to develop significant
connections with teenagers, helping them become active,
critical, and responsible citizens. Through various prevention
and promotional activities created by and for young people we
have succeeded in attaining this central objective. We also try
to foster the social and emotional development of young people
through various social activities. Also, to help these adults of
tomorrow understand and take their place in society as early
as possible, the Maison des jeunes Azimut Nord is always proud
to be involved in the community!

Pride, loyalty, and perseverance
The Army Cadet program offers challenges, friendship, and
adventure. It aims to develop in youth the attributes of good
citizenship and leadership, and promote physical fitness. All of
this is carried out in an environment that develops the ability
to meet many challenges, thanks to the cooperation of the
Canadian Forces.
The Cadet program is the largest youth organization in
Canada. Sponsored by the federal government, it is a civilian
movement in which young people are not enlisted as members
of the military. Activities, instruction, and optional activities
may include: Adventure camping, marching, precision
shooting, biathlon, military music, climbing, as well as map
and compass work in the woods.
Annual review: Saturday, May 11
