Le maire s’inquiète des lacunes dans le service 911 gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca Rockland
Lors d’une assemblée tenue samedi, le maire Guibord a mentionné qu’il y avait des plaintes à l’effet que le service 911 n’était pas toujours fourni dans les deux langues officielles. Il faisait référence à un incident ailleurs dans la région où une femme francophone, qui parlait très peu d’anglais, a composé le 911 afin de rapporter un incendie et qui a dû “Councillor Blais’ donation is an excel- lent opportunity for students from Orléans and Cumberland to pursue higher education,” stated Lacelle in a press release. “I’m grateful for this opportunity as the bursary has allowed me to achieve my academic goals.” At Blais’ request, OC Transpo analyzed routes that were ending their runs at Lebreton Flats but deadheading to their next route at either Tunney’s Pasture or Lincoln Fields. As a result of the analyses 61 routes will now continue along the Transitway to Lincoln Fields, making all requested stops including Tunney’s, and an additional 9 trips will stop at Tunney’s Pasture. ”This is the common sense approach the residents of Orléans and Cumberland are looking for fromOC Transpo,” stated Blais. “The addition of 70 trips to Tunney’s Pas- ture at no cost to bus riders or taxpayers is another example of better bus service being delivered to Orléans and Cumberland residents.”
parler à un répartiteur unilingue anglo- phone. La conseillère Diane Choinière a noté qu’elle a entendu des rapports des problèmes avec le service. Le chef du service des incendies Pierre Sabourin a souligné que le service est main- tenant offert dans le cadre d’une entente entre les comtés unis et la Police Provinciale de l’Ontario. Lacelle is in her first-year of study at Carleton University and is pursuing a BachelorofArtsdegreeinCognitiveScience Cognition and Computation. ”In the 21st century economy, our ability to compete globally will be determined by the skills and qualifications of our workforce,” stated Blais. “Students like Sarah will ensure that Canada thrives in a globalized environment and remains the best country on the planet in which to live, work and raise a family.” Blais established the bursary at Carleton University following his commitment in the 2006 election for a trustee’s seat on the Ottawa Catholic School Board to refuse the 150 per-cent raise that the board later approved. “The pursuit of higher education is a dream many of us share,” says Blais. “Through my donation to Carleton, students from our community will be given a hand up towards achieving their dream of a university degree.” The $5000 donation to Carleton Univer- sity was matched dollar for dollar by the provincial government through the Onta- rio Trust for Student Support for a total value of $10,000. The annual bursary will continue in perpetuity due to the earned interest on the donation.
Quand le système a débuté, les appels étaient traités par un centre à Belleville. « Les gens là-bas étaient bilingues », a relaté M. Sabourin. Parfois, des appels de cette région sont acheminés au centre de com- munications de la PPO à Thunder Bay. Les membres du conseil de Clarence- Rockland ont exprimé aussi l’inquiétude que le personnel au centre 911 ne vérifie pas toujours l’emplacement d’un incen- die. M. Sabourin a noté que cela peut être une faiblesse du système de relais de télé- phones portatifs. Un signal de téléphone cellulaire peut « sauter » à la tour de récep- tion disponible la plus proche et, des fois, un appel de l’est de l’Ontario pourrait arriver à un centre d’appel à l’extérieur de la région. La Ville d’Ottawa a son propre système de répartiteurs bilingues pour traiter les appels pour le service d’incendie. Le conseiller René Campeau a suggéré que Clarence-Rockland considère un con- trat avec les pompiers d’Ottawa. Le directeur général, Pierre Tessier, a informé le conseil que l’administration réexaminera toutes les options possibles afin de garantir un service 911 efficace et bilingue pour Clarence-Rockland. «Nous voulons s’assurer que notre niveau de ser- vice n’est pas compromis,» a-t-il dit.
Le maire de Clarence-Rockland, Marcel Guibord, s’inquiète que le service 911 dans l’est de l’Ontario n’est pas toujours disponible en français. M. Guibord veut que le dossier soit éla- boré au sein des comtés unis de Prescott-Russell.

Clarence-Rockland council still wants to know if there are any municipal buildings still remain with asbestos insulation of any kind hidden behind their walls. Last month council had approved a $16,000 contract proposal with Levac Robichaud for a study to determine if asbestos insulation or any materials that contained asbestos was inside any public buildings in Clarence-Rockland. Emphasis of the study would be on older buildings but it will cover all municipal buildings. The company was not able to get started on the study in December. Council voted during its Jan. 16 public session to bank the money in a reserve fund with the understanding that the company will do the study during the coming weeks.
