OPENING OF THE PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL IN ODANAK
We are pleased to inform you that the public swimming pool of Odanak will open on June 24th. The opening hours will be from Tuesday to Saturday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The pool will be free for everyone and accessible in priority to the people of Odanak, Pierreville and Saint-François-du-Lac.
Due to the sanitary measures put in place, please note that the operation will be different this year:
- The swimming pool is accessible through the outside fence and not through the building.
- When you arrive, you must report to the docking station and disinfect your hands.
- Access to the building (toilets, showers and cabins) is limited to one family at a time via the door on the pool side only.
- Each person must disinfect their hands when entering and leaving the building.
- There is no canteen this year. Swimmers are allowed to bring their own food and soft drinks.
- No pool equipment, tables or chairs are provided. Swimmers may bring their own folding chairs.
- The pool management reserves the right to limit the number of swimmers to ensure that the rules of social distancing are respected.
NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR GLASS CONTAINERS ARE ALLOWED.
Please also note that exceptionally, there will be no swimming or aquafitness classes for the 2020 season.
RÉOUVERTURE DE L’ÉGLISE ET HORAIRE DES MESSES (In French only)
Voici un message de la part de M. Pierre Houle, curé :
« Pour la plus grande joie de plusieurs, nous pouvons enfin envisager la réouverture de nos églises à compter du 27 juin, pour nos messes de fin de semaine. Veuillez toutefois noter qu’il n’y aura pas de messe le samedi soir à l’église Saint-François pour un temps indéterminé. Les messes sur semaine, dans nos trois églises, seront également suspendues pour un temps. L’horaire des messes sera donc le suivant:
- Odanak : samedi à 16h
- St-François : dimanche à 9h30
- Ste-Marguerite-d’Youville (église Notre-Dame-de-Pierreville) : dimanche à 11h
Évidemment, pour éviter la propagation du Coronavirus et l’arrivée d’une seconde vague de confinement à l’automne, il nous faudra respecter les normes fixées par nos évêques, en accord avec la Santé publique. Notamment limiter le nombre de personnes présentes à nos rassemblements (maximum 50 personnes, mais possiblement un peu moins à Odanak), se désinfecter les mains en entrant et garder la distanciation physique de 2 mètres entre les personnes. Le port du masque est fortement recommandé. Même les personnes âgées de plus de 70 ans peuvent accéder à l’église.
Ne pourront toutefois entrer dans nos églises les personnes qui reviennent de voyage, celles qui présentent des symptômes de la Covid-19, de même que celles qui ont récemment été en contact avec une personne présentant des symptômes.
Mentionnons également que les baptêmes, les mariages et les funérailles pourront aussi être célébrés dans nos église, moyennant le respect des normes mentionnées plus haut.
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer à nouveau à l’occasion de l’une ou l’autre de nos célébrations ! »R

NOTICE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PAKESSO STREET
Plumbing installation work on Waban-Aki street will begin this Friday, May 29 and will last until July 17, 2020. Major obstacles on the street are therefore to be expected during this period. The contractor will give access as much as possible, to the residences at the end of each day. Residents will be notified in advance by the contractor in the event their entrance will be unaccessible so that the resident can move their vehicle in anticipation of the work.
Waban-Aki street will be partially obstructed as the contractor will break up the paving. However, residents of addresses 1 to 79 will always have access to their residence. The road will be reopened and accessible for the weekend.
Thank you for your understanding!
