Une bourse de 1500$ pour un étudiant
Un élève de l’École secondaire catholique La Citadelle a réussi à obtenir une bourse de 1500 $. En effet, Mikaël Ladouceur, qui avait participé à l’Expo- sciences des cinq Comtés unis en 2011 et 2012, s’est vu décerner une bourse de la part d’Expo-sciences. L’étudiant étudiera la biologie à l’Université d’Ottawa en septembre. Expo-sciences est un organisme à but non lucratif géré par une équipe d’enseignants bénévoles et de parents. L’objectif de l’organisation est d’encourager les élèves à explorer certains des nombreux domaines de la science et à aider les élèves à développer la pensée critique créatrice et le raisonnement déductif. En photo on retrouve Mikaël et le président de la foire Expo-sciences Jason Marshall. — photo fournie
Pitt and Second property might become community hub
Bourgon Construction is conducting a feasibility study to explore whether a business and community hub on the corner of Pitt and Second Streets can meet the needs of select businesses and organizations in the area. Community hubs play a critical role in building economic and social cohesion in communities, as highlighted in the Community Hubs in Ontario: A Strategic Framework & Action Plan report recently released by the Ontario government.
A hub can anchor organizations together and its model is most attractive for small start-ups, professionals, charities, not-for- profit organizations and other community and service groups who have specific space needs but need to carefully manage costs. The First On Secondmodel would feature a fully accessible building with shared facilities and services, allowing users to lease only the space they need and provide an efficient way to share amenities and equipment used less than full-time. The study is in its initial stages and will
be carried out this summer. Alyssa Blais, the former executive director of the Agapè Centre, has been hired by Bourgon to oversee the work. “We want to create spaces designed for the community that are welcoming and inclusive,” said Blais. “Having a broad range of partners and services from a variety of sectors of the economy under one roof can transform the way services are delivered and received.” Work to clean up the site is underway and
new signs will identify the First On Second project. “We are aiming to create a new kind of shared facility that will strike a balance between sustainable rents and inspiring spaces, appropriate for both the energy level we need from start-ups to move our economy forward and for all the essential services our local organizations provide the community,” said Chris Markell, owner of Bourgon Construction.
