Un passageaurait dû se lire comme suit : « Monsieur Thomas Thériault était chez samère qui habite sur… ».Deux autres erreurs se sont également retrouvées en page 3 de l’éditionde septembre 2006. Les articles intitulés « L’école en partenariat avec sacommunauté » et « Conciliation famille, travail, activités physiques : toutun sport! » n’étaient pas des articles de la journaliste Kristina Jensen. Eneffet, le premier texte était une synthèse d’un rapport de recherche rédigépar une équipe de l’Université de Sherbrooke, sous la direction de M. PaulPrévost, alors que le deuxième texte nous avait été généreusement donné parle ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport.Nous prions nos lecteurs de bien vouloir nous excuser pour ces erreursqui se sont, bien malgré nous, glissées dans l’édition de septembre 2006.An error slipped by us at the beginning of paragraph 2 of the articleentitled «Bandid des parterres - Lawn Ornament Bandit» in the September2006 edition. The passage should have read «Mr. Thomas Thériault was athis mother’s house on Montée de la Source when...»Two other errors occurred during the same edition when the articlesentitled «L’école en partenariat avec sa communauté» and «Conciliationfamille, travail, activités physiques : tout un sport!» were inadvertedly attributedto our Editor, Kristina Jensen. In fact, the first text was a synthesisof a research report writen by a team based at the University of Sherbrooke,under the directon of Mr. Paul Prévost. The second text, was provided tothe Echo for publication by the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sport.Our apologies to our readers for these oversights.L’ÉCHO de CANTLEY, octobre 2006 3
