At the Municipal office, we too are experiencing the busyness and some of our many ongoing files date back more than ten years. One in particular that I would like to highlight could very soon become a reality and constitutes a considerable move forward for the Municipality of Ormstown and the entire Haut-Saint-Laurent region. This is the bicycle path which after being contested in various ways may soon go ahead. Collaboration among the MRC, the majority of mayors in the region and the Howick, Très Saint-Sacrement and Ormstown Municipal Councils has made it possible to resolve all the issues raised over the last 15 years regarding this project. As of this fall or at the latest the spring of 2014, everyone in Ormstown and the MRC as a whole can enjoy this new service and finally become part of the Quebec network of bike paths. Pres. – Planning & Heritage Advisory Committee: René Allen In closing, you probably already know that all Quebec municipalities will hold elections this coming November 3rd. We are counting on our citizens’ energy and commitment to submit their candidatures for mayor or councilor for the municipality of Ormstown. With summer well underway, now is the perfect time to think about how you could participate in the future of your community.
