The event we’ve been waiting for!Last year we held a contest for young people to create the logo for our reunion. Children in Day Camps could participate during the summer of 2010.
Armed with the instructions provided, they drew on their inspirations to transcribe the vision they had of
M e m p h r é e n Mouvement. The youngsters were given a few key words and an explanation of the mission of the reunion in order to help them get
started. The creativity of our youngsters was so inspired it wasn’t easy for us to choose our finalists.
We chose 4 candidates whose entries shared certain traits in common as the winners of our contest.
Armed with their representations and the repetition of certain elements, we were able to draft many different sketches.
Through this process our logo took on its final shape. To see it for yourself you will have to attend our 5@7on May 26, 2011, so get out your agenda . . .

Devoirs actifs
Faced with low participation and logistical problems encountered during the evening sports initiative, organizers in Stanstead put forth an alternative that wil l better help them meet their objectives.
Les soirées sportives will give young people in Stanstead the opportunity to benefit from participation in organized activities. In order to accommodate the most people possible, the program includes transport, (a major challenge given the vastness of this territory).
After consider ing many di fferent approaches and suggestions, the original program finally took shape in the form of devoir actifs. The objective: to accompany the students, who so desire, from the school to the CCL. After having finished their homework they will have access to recreational activities.
A considerable accomplishment given that it is known that young people who work this way can help each other and reinforce, by the same token, their own self-esteem.
In conjunction with sports activities, the goal to get young people moving and to persevere at school is attained. Presently, the 8 participants are predominantly girls, but Mylène Bernier, of the CCL, is confident that the number of young people participating will rise in the near future.
Coup de pédale
«Quand on partait de bon matinQuand on partait sur les cheminsA bicycletteNous étions quelques bons copainsY avait Fernand y avait FirminY avait Francis et SébastienEt puis Paulette. ( À bicyclette - Yves Montand).»
This passage has become the mantra of young people in Potton. In affect the biking project started on the “Pump Track , ” s i tua ted in the pa rk in Mansonville. In order to offer instruction, Mayor Jacques Marcoux will personally teach two sessions, one for ages 5-12, and another for ages 11-17.
During the course of these sessions Mr. Marcoux will explain what a « pump track » is and all the details inherent in its proper use.
As well as learning all sorts of tricks, these sessions will give children the opportunity to become familiar with the mechanical maintenance of a bicycle and how to keep it functioning properly, and safely, on the road.
So, this summer the youth group will have the opportunity to go trail riding throughout the area!
What a wonderful collective initiative that, once again, offers a way to keep our kids moving, and more importantly, in a safe environment.
Jeunes Leaders
Our Young Leaders are increasingly finding their place in the schools of the MRC. Proof of their efforts lies in the praise afforded them by teachers and administrators.
To this affect, Saint Jean de Bosco organized a ceremony of recognition w i t h s n a c k s a n d Yv a n D e m e r s addressing the audience.
In Sainte Marguerite, there were 45 youths who received training and who will sign a contract of engagement.
Ayer’s Cliff can now identify their Young Leaders by the tee-shirts that they have designed themselves.
At Baluchon, the Young Leaders will host the «Olympiades de fin d’année».
Our Young Leaders are claiming their place in elementary schools. In the case of secondary schools, Alexander Galt is o ffer ing in terested students the opportunity to participate in the activities « Midi Actifs ».
It is our hope to see children carry forth their newly acquired expertise in school projects, extracurricular activities, and community involvement. Isn’t this the greatest value of recognition for a child?
Ça se passe chez nous!Ça se passe chez nous!
