Autoroute de la Bravoure - Highway of Bravery

(English version at the end of this article)
Le député de la circonscription provinciale de Chauveau, Gérard Deltell, déposera à l'Assemblée Nationale une proposition qui vise à changer le nom de l'autoroute Henri-IV à Québec pour «autoroute de la Bravoure».

La proposition qui fait son chemin dans la communauté n'a pas de difficulté à recueillir des appuis. Les gens du milieu sont très favorables à l'idée de reconnaître la bravoure et le courage des soldats en mission et de leurs familles qui ont à vivre la séparation et, quelquefois, le deuil.

L'autoroute en question mène directement à la base militaire de Valcartier, située aussi dans la circonscription de Chauveau. C'est d'autant plus approprié de reconnaître la bravoure de ces courageuses et courageux en renommant ainsi la voie qu'ils ont à emprunter pour s'y rendre.

Vous pouvez vous présenter au bureau du député Gérard Deltell pour signifier votre appui par une signature, d'ici le début de novembre: 359, rue Racine à Québec (arrondissement de la Haute-Saint-Charles), téléphone (418) 842-3330, gdeltell-chau@assnat.qc.ca

Sur Facebook, on peut aussi manifester son accord en donnant son appui à la cause «Autoroute de la Bravoure».

___

Gérard Deltell, MNA of the Chauveau riding, will submit before the National Assembly a proposition in order to change the name of the present Highway Henri IV in Québec City into "Highway of Bravery" (Autoroute de la Bravoure).

The proposition already goes around in the community and easily collects support among the population of the riding. People are very supportive of the idea. Chauveau residents agree that the soldiers' bravery and courage - and that of their families who live the separation and the mourning - should be recognized.

The expressway conveniently leads to Valcartier CFB, also situated in the Chauveau riding, which makes it even more appropriate that its name be changed to Highway of Bravery, in recognition of the people travelling on it.

You can express your support to the proposition by signing the support form, at Gérard Deltell's office: 359 Racine Street, Québec City (borough of Haute-Saint-Charles), phone (418) 842-3330, gdeltell-chau@assnat.qc.ca.

Waska currently in boosting process and looking for new board members

Waska, autonomie et services techniques communautaires, a Quebec City non-profit organization, is currently in a vigorous boosting process! The board of directors is working hard on a new business plan in order to widen the organization's action spectrum and boost its operation strength.

Basically, Waska helps individuals and non-profit organizations gain empowerment, i.e. bring them to set themselves free from the dependency to public funding and charity, to generate their own revenues. Also, Waska implements a system of community dialogue, exchange and solidarity in order to link up NPOs, various public social workers, small businesses and the population in a way to promote social and commercial relations that help the community live.

Waska has given itself this mandate right from the beginning in 1982, when it was founded in a classroom of the formerly called Technical Pavilion in St. Foy, Quebec, now the Marie-Rollet Professional Training Centre.

In April of 2008, Waska opened a workshop room at 125 Racine Street in Quebec City, in the heart of the Loretteville Quarter (Borough of the Haute-Saint-Charles). Last March 1st, the organization decided to close the location to allow itself more room to manoeuvre, a leeway to carry out its revival plan and establish connections with new business contacts.

The new projects undertaken by Waska will soon be published right here and will allow the organization to reinforce its humanitarian endeavours towards the community, making people happy already for the past 27 years.

Waska president by interim, Christian Tanguay (photo above), invites all persons involved in humanitarian endeavours to join our board of directors in the upcoming election. To be part of Waska means building pillars of the community, reducing its social/economic burden, and help goodwill individuals regain their dignity. You may contact Mr. Tanguay at waskatechnicien@gmail.com or call him at (418) 407-1425.

Whether you are in Québec City or elsewhere, our membership network is awaiting you! We are inviting any person interested in contributing with concrete gestures, ideas, or contacts to the pursuit of Waska's mission. Annual membership fee is $10 for individuals and $20 for non-profit organizations. It allows you to benefit from high-quality services and to partake in social activities related to the organization's mission. You can register directly with Mr. Tanguay or by contacting the Executive Secretary, Mr. Jean-François Néron at (418) 847-4784 or waskaquebec@gmail.com.

Welcome to all!
