Quyon ferry news

As some of you may have heard on local radio and television, or read in the local papers, the new Quyon Ferry will indeed be delayed for another year. The new ferry will not be put into service until 2014.

The ferry construction, by Magnalum Inc., is continuing on schedule and the various sections and components will be transported to the ferry location at Quyon in February, for final assembly.

The tenders for the dock construction and the dredging came in significantly higher than the funds that were allotted, which were based on the estimates.

Due to time constraints for in-water works, permits, etc., there was no possible way to secure the additional funding required and complete the construction of the docks and the dredging for the 2013 season.

I know there were people and businesses counting on the new service in 2013 and we certainly apologize to them for this delay. But, unfortunately it is completely beyond our control and I can assure you that there is no one more disappointed and affected than we, the ferry staff.

It will be business as usual in 2013. As in the past, we will be operating our two existing ferries.

50 km/h zone, ch de la Montagne

14 décembre 2012, Le Droit

À PRÈS DE 100 KM/H DANS UNE ZONE DE 50
Une femme de 46 ans un peu trop pressée a vu son permis de conduire être suspendu, récemment, par les policiers de la MRC des Collines-de-l’Outaouais. Elle a été interceptée à 99 km/h, dans une zone de 50 km/h, sur le chemin de la Montagne, dans le secteur Luskville. Ironiquement, la mère de famille était en route vers le bureau de la Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec, puisque son fils avait un rendez-vous pour obtenir son permis de conduire. La dame a reçu une contravention de 628 $, en plus de voir 10 points d’inaptitude s’ajouter à son dossier. Un autre membre de famille a dû se déplacer pour venir chercher le duo. Fiston devra donc patienter avant de pouvoir prendre le volant.

NEARLY 100 KM/H IN A 50 ZONE
A 46-year-old woman going a little too fast had her driver's licence suspended recently by MRC des Collines police. She was caught doing 99 km/h in a 50 km/h zone, on chemin de la Montagne, in the Luskville sector. Ironically, the mother was en route to the Office of the SAAQ, where her son had an appointment to get his driver's licence. The woman was fined $628 and 10 demerit points. Another member of the family had to come to pick up the two. Son will have to wait before taking the wheel.
