JPPS CHILDREN?S CENTRE OPENS

The JPPS Children's Centre, at 5838 Westminster Ave. in Côte St. Luc, officially opened to preschoolers Dec. 7. Côte St. Luc mayor Anthony Housefather, council members and those associated with the JPPS- Bialik family ?celebrated the existence of a brand new, state-of-the-art building in which to guide children's first steps on their journey of learning,? says a JPPS announcement.

CSL SNOW REMOVAL

Côte St. Luc informed motorists of rules ?to ensure that snow removal is done in a safe, timely and effective way. Residents are called upon to do their part to help make their roads safe this winter? so that ?once precipitation has stopped, the accumulated snow along the edge of these roadways is removed by our snow-blowing equipment.? Some elements: ??The city of Côte St. Luc puts temporary no parking signs on many streets before our snow clearing operation. The goal is to prevent delays in snow clearing caused by vehicles parked on city streets.? ??If you see a temporary no parking sign near your parked vehicle, please move your vehicle. If you don't, your vehicle may be towed to an adjacent street and you will be fined $97. If your vehicle is towed, you can call 514-485-6960 to find out where it was moved.? ??If you see temporary no parking signs on your street, you might want to consider parking your car overnight at a nearby city parking lot. Call Côte St. Luc public security at 514-485-6960 to find the parking lot closest to your home. (City parking lots may not be used overnight in normal times.)?
