Little known fact!
Luskville has a St. Vincent de Paul second hand shop at 23A Ch. du Village!
That's right beside the Catholic church high up on the hill-- St. Dominiques -- you can see it from the highway -- and just across and down a bit from the elementary school, Notre Dame de la Joie.
Usually open on Saturday mornings,and sometimes open on Tuesday afternoons 1--3 pm, the shop is kind of hard to find but very well worth it, with very very low priced clothing which is, in general, very very high quality.
There is also a donation box in which you can leave good clothes, shoes and small house wares.
Please, no large furniture or broken and out of date electronics.
Toys and games and music and skates welcome.
Saturday May 7th:
There will be a large community yard sale at the St. Vincent site, including BBQ food and snacks for sale, and a table run by the 6th graders from Notre Dame to raise funds for their graduating year's trip.
Call Lorraine Cousineau for more information on this event or for any questions regarding the St. Vincent: 819 455 2543.
Volunteers are always sought!

Quyon Waterfront Revitalisation Project from Pontiac Journal
Life long volunteer gets community Revitalisation under way.
Kate Aley
Quyon – Rolly Bernier was never someone to ‘blow his own trumpet’, much preferring to play guitar on stage. But on February 12th 2011, Bernier was called up on stage to be honoured as a lifelong volunteer at a banquet held at the Quyon Lions Club hall.
“He just won’t, he can’t say no; it’s not in his vocabulary,” related Betty Kennedy, MC for the evening. “He’s someone we think represents the best of us.”
Quyon Lions Club president Glen Leach described Bernier’s 20 years of involvement from parades, parties, and playing Santa Claus. Charlene Graham of the Quyon Lionettes made Bernier an honorary member. Plaques were presented by Eddie McCann of the Municipality of Pontiac , MNA Charlotte L’Ecuyer and Gerry Phillippe for MP Laurence Cannon.
Bill Hamilton, owner of Mountainview Turf Farms and a long time volunteer himself, brought the room to another focus of the evening: a renewed call to government and community to show support for the exciting developments planned for the waterfront area of Quyon dubbed the Waterfront Revitalization Project. “Based on current costs, Phase One will cost 1.3 to 1.5 million. We as a group are committed to raising half the Municipalities share, and our funds now stand at $30 000 tonight.”
Improvements to the dock area will coincide with the new ferry project. A historic boardwalk with information signs, benches and lights will lead visitors to the entirely rebuilt Lions Club, which will serve as a function room and community centre as well. An enlarged and refurbished children’s playground by the new building will be named after Bernier.
