A new freestyle ski club type slopestyle, the Union Club Mont-Orignal, has seen the light of day at the sliding centre of Lac-Etchemin.

This initiative, born from a collaboration between the Union group Ski and Mount-Moose, will allow young skiers and lovers of snow parks to develop their passion and skills acrobatics in complete safety, thanks to the guidance of a team of qualified coaches.

The pioneer in this field and a member of the Union group Ski, Jeremie Duchaine points out that the slopestyle is a discipline recognized in the olympics since 2014 and that school programs or clubs were launched in various regions of Quebec.

“It was a long time that we wanted to develop such a program at the Mount-Moose, in collaboration with the people of the community. It is a mountain which has a long history of snow parks and is a forerunner in the field. I think it will be very interesting for the skiers of the region,” he says.

Skiers registered with the new club will use mainly the area of the snow park, including the modules, rails and other obstacles of the kind, but not one dedicated to the bordercross.

François Morin, of St. Leon, will be the first coach of the new Union Club Mont-Orignal.

An open day will take place this Saturday the 6th of January. The interested can learn free of charge to the sport and register for the season, which runs from 13 January to 1 April.

François Morin, of St. Leon, will be the main coach of the club. This last and one other coach will be present at the Mont-Moose every Saturday to give their advice.

The sport caters primarily to boys and girls aged 10 to 17 years of age. In the event that the number of entries received is higher than expected, additional coaches could be added. The club has not ruled out the possibility of holding further training sessions on Sunday.

In addition to training, members may participate as volunteers at the world Cup Jamboree Videotron (march 25) and “Step up” Tour (march 29-April 1) in Quebec city.

Partners sought

The Union Club Mont-Orignal wish to be associated with different financial partners, which will help keep the registration costs as low as possible.

“We would like to raise $ 5,000 per winter. We could even baptize the club in the name of the sponsor or main partner. Such a partnership would also bring coaches of the first plan, as well as professional athletes at the Mount-Moose, in addition to enabling access to development camps. We could help those who wish to take part in major competitions or even organize the Mount-Moose,” he says.

Businesses and organizations interested can contact Jeremie Duchaine to [email protected] or at 418 573-2814.

The coffee House, located in Saint-Georges, has permanently closed its doors. The owner, Alexandra Poulin announced the news on Facebook last December 21,.

Ms. Poulin has explained the reasons of this choice “heartbreaking”. “As I am a girl of passion, and for me, it is essential to vibrate in what one does, I had to make clear that I’m what you could call a bohemian who ends up unfortunately not turn itself off when it is locked between four walls. Adding to this the financial stress that will eventually weigh a ton of bricks, so I resolved to close up shop,” she said, noting that it will continue to maintain the page Facebook of The House in the form of a blog.

It claims to be at peace with this decision and be proud of what it has accomplished. “I am touched to have been able to provide any comfort in your pregnancy and your motherhood, and I hope that I will have left a trace in the memory of the children that I met”, she added.

The small House had opened its doors on October 14, 2016. The place had been designed for young families and women in maternity leave. In addition to the beverages, The House offered various activities, such as yoga, prenatal classes and had a corner where children could play.

Recall that the company had won the leg of Gold, and the Shank of the youth Wing during the 29th Gala de l’entreprise beauceronne.

A total of 1438 raccompagnements have been made by volunteers in the course of the 32nd edition of Operation red Nose (ORN) in the Beauce-Etchemins.

This number is slightly lower than last year, while 1447 transport have been made in 2016. However, the ONR was held for 15 nights, compared to 14 in 2017. In addition, 288 teams and 1070 volunteers took part in the most recent edition.

It is in the sector Boiler that there has been the most raccompagnements, 929. In all, 174 teams and 642 attendance volunteers have been recorded. In Beauce-Nord, there were 388 transport operations carried out with 174 teams and 642 attendance volunteers. As to the Etchemins, 121 raccompagnements have been completed by 31 teams. The sector has been able to count on the participation of 134 volunteers during 14 nights of service.

These figures are to say to the coordinator of Operation red Nose Beauce-Etchemin, Steeve Labbe, that this edition was a success. “We have obtained results very close to those of last year with a day less,’ he explains.

The latter has also noticed a trend that has emerged in recent years. “More and more, the end of the week before Christmas becomes the busiest. We beat our record of raccompagnements the weekend of 15 and 16 December. However, a point that does not change, we have made 110 transportation on 31 December from midnight less a quarter. We could have done more if we had more volunteers, because everyone asked for the service at the same time,” added Mr. Labbé.

On these 110 raccompagnements, 75 have been made in the area of Boiler, while 25 were held in Beauce-Nord and 10 in les Etchemins.

In closing, the convener thanked both the volunteers who participated in Operation red Nose that those who have used the service, as well as all the partners involved. “We will meet for the 33rd edition in the region as of November 30, 2018,” concludes Steeve Labbe.

The third edition of the evening of the day of the Year in Saint-Georges will have attracted more than 600 visitors to the 31 December in the backyard of the centre sportif Lacroix-Dutil.

Last year, over 3,000 people had gathered at the same place from 21h to midnight. Chairman of the Committee of the feasts of St. George, an organization that held the rally, Serge Thomassin directly points the freezing temperatures for the low participation.

“It was around – 30 degrees. It has made all the difference. There have been a few more people at the approach of midnight, but I understand that people have chosen to stay home in this cold weather-there”, says he.

Despite all that, the feast proceeded as planned with the show of the group Beat Trip Coverband and his six musicians, who have also performed several rigodons. After the countdown and the fireworks, they went back up on stage until 00h45.

The fireworks were launched at the stroke of midnight.

The visitors also had the opportunity to shoot the portrait in the photobooth under the big igloo. Two other igloos had been set up so that the public can warm up. Different booths were also selling food and drinks to the revelers.

“We had narrowed the site so that people will not scatter too much. This is a beautiful family celebration and the show was excellent. We will make an assessment to see if we can improve things next year”, said Serge Thomassin.

He adds that the event could be transferred in the future Space Carpe Diem near the gateways. The first phase of work will take place next spring.

“The feast would be easier to arrange with the permanent infrastructure and the space could accommodate more visitors. If this happens, it will not be before 2019,” says Thomassin.
