Jessica Million - Main Street
May Days are finally here!
Last month, I took a trip back to the “Home Country”
of England to visit family and the place of my roots.
Ironically, my parents come from a northern town
in the county of Durham, which is only about 30
miles from Doncaster, England. Who would ever have
imagined I would be taking over a real estate business,
here in Quebec with the same name as a town in England! To explore and discover
the heritage of my ancestors, was a wonderful experience and it was absolutely
amazing how easily bonds and kinship were instantly made with relatives I had
never met. How fortunate I am to have been able to do this. My family is first
generation newcomers to Canada and most of “my mam’s” and father’s family are
still over there. It was a great experience. I am so happy to have made the journey,
as it could be the last time I will ever see most of them. It also helped me to realize
how happy I am that I live here, in Canada. I can honestly say that I love Quebec
and the Quebecois! I am so thrilled to live in the Laurentian’s mountains in Ste.
Agathe-des-Monts.

Mont Tremblant Police in Action
Surprise Suspects: On April 26, police were called to the scene of a bar fight in
downtown Mont Tremblant. Officers were dispatched and the two instigators were
arrested as they were leaving the bar and taken to the police station. While being
formally identified, police found the individuals to be subjects being sought by
Immigration Canada and arrangements were made to have them placed into their
custody.
Contraband Seizure: Shortly before noon on April 27, police made an unexpected
drug seizure during a routine check of the Highway Safety Code. The officers
observed contraband cigarettes in the interior of the vehicle, which led to a more
thorough search of the vehicle, resulting in a find of 126 grams of marijuana and 4.8
grams of hashish. The passenger, who was initially misidentified, was arrested on
the spot and was the subject of several arrest warrants in the North Shore and
Montreal areas. Jean-Francois Huc appeared at the St. Jérôme courthouse on April
29 to resister his plea to charges of “impersonation.”
