completed by the end of August. The road is now 99 per cent complete, with only two small items left to finish: minor landscap- ing and the installation of a water fountain and park bench that was donated by the Lavictoire family.

The St-Joseph Street project was award- ed to STP Construction on December 13, 2016. Construction on the street began in the spring of 2017 and was substantially
