Pourquoi ne pas être la meilleure version de nous-mêmes et profiter pleinement de la vie ?» a lancé la Dre Filion avec passion, invitant les participants à envisager la luminothérapie comme un outil puissant pour leur santé mentale et physique. Son nouveau livre, Les secrets de la luminothérapie, couvre l’ensemble des sujets abordés lors de la conférence. Il comprend des chapitres dédiés aux jeunes, aux personnes âgées, et aux femmes, incluant des sections sur la ménopause, le syndrome prémenstruel et la dépression postpartum. Un autre chapitre est destiné aux travailleurs de nuit. Le livre propose également des techniques pour renforcer la résilience en général.

The last elections for the English-language school boards were held on Sept. 26, 2021. These elections were a resumption of the ones that were supposed to take place on Nov. 1, 2020, but were suspended after the nomination period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, many positions on the boards of commissioners were filled without opposition. In 2021, 17 positions were filled in 8 English-language school boards. There is no overall voter turnout rate for the 2021 elections, as most presidency positions were filled without opposition. In fact, the overall turnout rate is calculated based on the number of people voting to elect the board presidents. In the 2014 elections, the turnout rate was 16.88%.
