Up for adoption

PHOTO COURTESY ANIMATCH We've all heard the expression, “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” Meet Molly, whose family thought that the pandemic would be the perfect time to get a puppy. But with small children and a busy lifestyle, it didn't work out. Molly is an adolescent with puppy behaviors, and families with small children aren't for her. She treats people like springboards, and mouths and gnaws at them. She requires an experienced guardian and would do best in an a

PHOTO COURTESY CASCA Say hi to Bowie (AKA Bugs) who was born January 21, 2019. One of the sweetest cats you will ever meet! Bug was originally a TNR (trap-neuter-release) but we soon realized that he had potential to be a house cat. We have come to find out that Bug has some hearing and vision issues; it doesn’t affect his health in any way but means he is more sensitive to vibrations and it takes him a few seconds to recognize who is there. This is one of the main reasons h

Legion news

By Rod L. Hodgson PHOTO COURTESY ROD HODGSON On the occasion of the death of a member of the Royal Family related in the first degree to the Sovereign, all Legion Branches are advised to half-mast the Canada flag from now until the day of the funeral or memorial service, April 17. Last Friday morning, April 9, the Canadian flag outside of Legion Br. #115 was to be lowered as requested by Royal Canadian Legion Dominion and Provincial Commands to honour the memory of those brav

Open letter to Hudson Mayor Jamie Nicholls Dear Mr. Nicholls, My husband and I moved from rural Ontario to become residents of the Town of Hudson a little over 10 years ago. We always appreciate the continued work of its town council members on the behalf of its citizens. Both of us have enjoyed Hudson as a town very much, not in small measure due to its wonderful public walks along the shores of the Ottawa River (and primarily that which connects Jack Layton Park to Sandy

Leader with vision Dear Editor, The recent article on Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Mayor Paola Hawa was a great read (The Journal, April 8). What an inspiring leader with a progressive vision for her community. It’s a shame she can’t be mayor of Hudson as well! I think a lot of us here in Hudson thought we were electing leaders like Ms. Hawa during the last election. We had high hopes for the eager new faces who won our votes, people whom we thought would bring fresh ideas to th

Destroying the environment to generate profit Dear Editor, On the morning of April 11, we and our neighbours participated in an event organized by the Sandy Beach Wetland Protection Group. We are all disappointed in the failure of Hudson council to save the Sandy Beach area from private development. As you know, Sandy Beach is a valuable ecological zone, almost the only bit of public shoreline left in Hudson. It is also a much-valued recreational area, visited daily by many

Saint-Lazare mayor tries to have it both ways Dear Editor, I want to congratulate the Saint-Lazare council for the adoption of By-law 1095 which serves to protect the deep interior forests. This by-law is very important not only to protect trees, but also to maintain biodiversity, protect green corridors and to ensure the sustainability of our underground water sources. But I have great concerns with the message Mayor Robert Grimaudo pushed during the council meeting. A resid

The kids are not alright! Dear Editor, Though I appreciate the kudos you gave to the young people of Westwood Senior High School in The Journal’s April 8 issue, I feel it necessary to point out ways in which our kids are far from being alright. In short, they are suffocating, they are anxious, depressed and many (teenagers especially) are entertaining suicidal thoughts. Our little ones (starting in Grade 1) are obliged to wear masks all day. My seven-year-old son came home fr

Final row of townhouses in Ste. Anne’s north sector part of original development plan

By John Jantak PHOTO BY JOHN JANTAK Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Mayor Paola Hawa said the vegetation that was removed to allow for the construction of the final row of town houses on Chemin Sainte-Marie will be replaced. The recent start of construction on the final townhouse condominium units as part of the Terra condo project on Chemin Sainte-Marie in the north sector of Ste. Anne’s prompted one resident to ask why a new row of houses were being built. The question was submitte
