A new territorial plan revising shoreline areas of Deux-Montagnes which are most at risk of being flooded by the Rivière-des-Mille-Îles has left officials of the city and even some residents bewildered.

In a variation on that oft-quoted phrase made famous by the late and much maligned U.S. president Richard M. Nixon, the voters of Deux-Montagnes won’t have Denis Joannette “to kick around anymore,” because this was probably Joannette’s last election, according to the defeated mayoralty candidate.

The Town of Rosemère’s newly-elected municipal council was officially sworn into office last Tuesday evening during a reception held at the municipal library. It was attended by relatives and friends of the elected officials, as well as a few invited residents.
For the occasion, the works of a number of local artists were displayed, including many by Tex Dawson who was on hand to wish the returning mayor and her slate of councillors all the best.

(NSN) Elections in two out of three key municipalities on the North Shore recently saw incumbent administrations returned easily to office, but in a third municipality a few independents will be sitting for the next four years with re-elected incumbents.

With little if any evidence of campaign posters to be seen in Deux-Montagnes last week despite an abundance of candidates, former city councillor Denis Joannette who is seeking the mayoralty made an election pledge designed to appeal to many families – the refurbishing of the Central Park chalet.

With more than 800 gathered signatures to back his and his team’s attempt to gain office at Deux-Montagnes city hall, mayoral hopeful Denis Martin and his Deux-Montagnes Autrement candidates filed their candidacy papers on Sept. 23 with an optimistic outlook about their chances.

Among the pledges that incumbent Rosemère mayor Madeleine Leduc is making leading towards the Nov. 3 election day, she says she will follow up and implement certain key measures which came out of the Forum 55-plus consultation for Rosemère’s senior citizens which took place last March.
