As the city councillor responsible for Local Commerce, I have enjoyed interacting with business owners in our community. On May 4 I held the city’s first ever Real Estate Exchange.

We had a nice turnout for the first meeting.

Thank to Bialik High School student interns Noah Hoffman and Evan Levy and their moms Heidi Cheung and Ilana Popliger for their support. Noah and Even are just completing Grade 9 so they are on board to continue this project for at least the next two years and I hope they will add more students to the group. They are helping me develop a database and reaching out to real estate agents with a questionnaire. How is the housing market in CSL? What can we do to help you? What challenges are you facing? These are some of the queries we have sent out.

Leslie Singerman gets ready to make a point.

Mayor Mitchell Brownstein and Councillors Lior Azerad, Steven Erdelyi and Andee Shuster were on hand. There was a lot of interest in our Master Plan, which when adopted will result in a lot more housing for sale. The mayor said it will, in fact, result in a 30 percent growth in our population. Councillor Erdelyi said we hope to also have a train station or two in the city.

Heidi Witt raised concerns about condominiums that do not allow dogs. This, she added, stands in the way of many people from completing a purchase. Other real estate agents echoed her concerns. We discussed a wide variety of other issues. Councillor Azerad spoke of the many sponsorship opportunities for real estate agents. Marc Ezerzer and Hagai Brener from KW Prestige sponsor our Golf Classic annually. Heidi Witt just supported the Knights of Pythias/CSL Cats Committee.

Lior Azerad, Steven Erdelyi, Michael White, Mayor Brownstein, Andeee Shuster, Steven White and myself.

I also took the opportunity to honor my constituent Michael White (www.whiteinc.ca) . He started Michael White Realties Inc in 1978, a real estate brokerage company that specializes in industrial and commercial real estate. Helping business owners rent to, rent for, sell to or sell for properties in the Greater Montreal Area. He has run his own boutique business for nearly 60 years. Michael isfinally giving up his Brokerage Licence and his AEO designation (Agency Executive Officer) and turning it over to his son Steven White , after working with him for 25 years. The business is still running strong with its office in Saint-Laurent and 10 active real estate Brokers and four staff.

Listen to my podcast with Michael and Steven White. 

Thanks to all of the real estate agents who joined us. If you’d like to be part of this initiative please e-mail me at [email protected].

En tant que conseiller municipal chargé du commerce local, j'ai beaucoup apprécié les échanges avec les chefs d'entreprise de notre communauté. Le 4 mai, j'ai organisé la toute première bourse immobilière de la ville.

Je tiens à remercier Noah Hoffman et Evan Levy, élèves stagiaires du lycée Bialik, ainsi que leurs mères, Heidi Cheung et Ilana Popliger, pour leur soutien. Noah et Evan viennent de terminer leur 9e année et sont prêts à poursuivre ce projet pendant au moins deux ans. J'espère qu'ils seront rejoints par d'autres élèves. Ils m'aident à créer une base de données et à contacter des agents immobiliers à l'aide d'un questionnaire. Comment se porte le marché immobilier à CSL ? Que pouvons-nous faire pour vous aider ? Quels sont les défis auxquels vous êtes confrontés ? Voici quelques-unes des questions que nous avons posées.

Le maire Mitchell Brownstein et les conseillers Lior Azerad, Steven Erdelyi et Andee Shuster étaient présents. Notre plan d’urbanisme  a suscité beaucoup d'intérêt. Une fois adopté, il permettra de mettre en vente un nombre beaucoup plus important de logements. Le maire a déclaré qu'il entraînerait en fait une augmentation de 30 % de notre population. Le conseiller Erdelyi a ajouté que nous espérons également avoir une ou deux gares dans la ville

Heidi Witt a fait part de ses préoccupations concernant les immeubles en copropriété qui n'acceptent pas les chiens. Elle a ajouté que cela empêchait de nombreuses personnes d'acheter un logement. D'autres agents immobiliers ont fait écho à ses préoccupations. Nous avons discuté d'un large éventail d'autres questions. Le conseiller Azerad a évoqué les nombreuses possibilités de parrainage pour les agents immobiliers. Marc Ezerzer et Hagai Brener, de KW Prestige, parrainent chaque année notre tournoi de golf. Heidi Witt vient de soutenir le comité Knights of Pythias/Comit. Chats CSL.

J'ai également profité de l'occasion pour rendre hommage à mon électeur Michael White (www.whiteinc.ca). Il a fondé Michael White Realties Inc en 1978, une société de courtage immobilier spécialisée dans l'immobilier industriel et commercial. Il aide les propriétaires d'entreprises à louer, louer, vendre ou vendre des propriétés dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal. Il dirige sa propre entreprise depuis près de 60 ans. Michael abandonne finalement sa licence de courtier et son titre d'AEO (Agency Executive Officer) et passe le relais à son fils Steven White, après avoir travaillé avec lui pendant 25 ans. L'entreprise continue de prospérer avec son bureau à Saint-Laurent, ses 10 courtiers immobiliers actifs et ses quatre employés. Après avoir exercé cette activité pendant si longtemps, avec une entreprise toujours florissante et une santé toujours aussi bonne à 83 ans, j'ai pensé que cela pourrait faire l'objet d'une interview intéressante pour l'une de vos vidéos ou l'un de vos podcasts.

Merci à tous les agents immobiliers qui se sont joints à nous. Si vous souhaitez participer à cette initiative, veuillez m'envoyer un courriel à [email protected].

The City of Côte Saint-Luc is pleased to invite all real estate agents active in our community to the first Côte Saint-Luc  Real Estate Exchange, taking place on Sunday, May 4 (9:30 am to 11 am) in the Council Chamber at City Hall (5801 Boulevard Cavendish, Second Floor).

This gathering will be an opportunity to exchange ideas, share insights, and strengthen connections within our local real estate network. As the City Councillor responsible for Local Commerce, I have been working towards this initiative for some time. Two Bialik High School students, Noah Hoffman and Evan Levy, recently began the process of helping me create a real estate sales rep database as well as undertaking a survey.

Councillor Lior Azerad, who handles the sponsorship portfolio, will join me

Real estate agents interested in attending are asked to RSVP with Kathy Nasr at [email protected] or at 514-485-6945 by Wed. April 30

See the flyer below and we look forward to meeting with you and seeing how we can work together.
 

La Ville de Côte Saint-Luc a le plaisir d’inviter tous les courtiers immobiliers actifs dans notre
communauté à la Première Rencontre Immobilière de Côte Saint-Luc, qui se tiendra le dimanche 4 mai 9 h 30 à 11 h dans la salle du conseil de l’hôtel de ville 5801, boulevard Cavendish, 2e étage

Cette rencontre sera une occasion idéale pour échanger des idées, partager vos observations sur le
marché et renforcer les liens entre les acteurs du secteur immobilier local,

En tant que conseiller municipal responsable du commerce local, je travaille sur cette initiative depuis un certain temps. Deux élèves du lycée Bialik, Noah Hoffman et Evan Levy, ont récemment commencé à m'aider à créer une base de données de représentants commerciaux en immobilier et à réaliser une enquête.

Le conseiller municipal Lior Azerad, qui gère le portefeuille des parrainages, se joindra à moi. Les agents immobiliers intéressés à participer sont priés de confirmer leur présence auprès de Kathy Nasr à l'adresse [email protected] ou au 514-485-6945 avant le mercredi 30 avril.

Consultez le dépliant ci-dessous. Nous sommes impatients de vous rencontrer et de voir comment nous pouvons travailler ensemble.

Two years ago Glenn Spence’s Mtl Bagel and Mtl Yardie were recognized as Côte Saint-Luc’s Business of the Month. More recently, Mtl Yardie was voted Best of Montreal by The Suburban Newspaper in their annual poll for best ethnic food.

Glenn Spence showcases his Best of Montreal Award.

The other day Spence reached out. He has been following my restaurant reels on Instagram at www.instagram.com/mikecohencsl and he invited me to sample his  cuisine. Watch my short Instagram video with him below and please follow me.

A native of Jamaica, Spence learned the trade working at Fairmount Bagel. Twelve years ago he opened Mtl Bagel, which immediately became a favorite spot in the community. Here they offer 15 different flavors of bagels, as well as a variety of sandwiches, sides, drinks and snacks. Always fresh, they are cooked in a wood oven. There are breakfast and lunch specials. Mtl Bagel also has a wholesale division. 

Spence rented the storefront next door and immediately doubled his space in size. On May 2, 2023, Mtl Yardie opened as a mainly take-out spot for traditional Jamaican cuisine. Since then he has added some indoor seating. 

A homemade drink.

I joined Spence for lunch and since (believe it or not) this one of the first times I can remember eating at a Jamaican restaurant I let him surprise me. He started me off with a drink known as a Jamaican Sorrel. It is dark red, a little sour, with a raspberry-like flavour and made from the petals of sorrel plant, also known as hibiscus. And cinnamon. You can order by the glass (or plastic cup) or bring a bottle home. Spence manufactures these wine-like bottles on site. There are also a number of island sodas in the fridge.

Sindonie and Jillian bring our mixed plates.

Spence’s choice for me was the mixed plate: oxtail, fried chicken, rice, vegetables and a piece of macaroni pie. Not only was this a masterpiece, but it was prepared precisely how I asked: not spicy at all. The oxtail fell off the bone and the chicken was fresh and juicy. It is made from halal meat.

Spence credits his executive chef Carlton for coming up with a balanced and popular menu. “People are coming to us from all over,” he said. “We recently had a family drive all the way from Ottawa for dinner and they took plenty of items back home What I hear from so many clients who come here for the first time is that they begin to crave it after that.”

The delicious black cake.

For dessert, Spence wanted me to try his black cake: chocolate with dried fruits soaked in rum and wine for at least six months. It was quite decadent. He also cut me a slice of traditional chocolate cake. Make this double decadent!

There are plenty of items for me to try next time: the jerk chicken, burgers, curry goat, ackee and salt fish, roti lobster, steamed snapper, salmon steak, maple salmon, ginger lobster, fried dumplings, chicken wings, pumpkin vegetable soup, porridge of the day and a variety of Jamaican patties (chicken, beef and veggie). The latter are also kept in a freezer for take-out orders.

“Take-out and delivery is strong,” Spence says. “It is the perfect and healthy full course meal you can take home and have for lunch or supper.”

Mtl Yardie is located at 5450 Westminster and open daily from 10 am to 8 pm. You can take advantage of home delivery and take-out. Just log on to www.mtlyardie.ca or call 514-482-5252

I am pleased to report that our CSL Public Library has received a  $21,000 grant from  the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP).   Mount Royal Liberal MP Anthony Housefather made the announcement formally on Monday night at City Hall. He had encouraged us to apply.

Anthony Housefather presents the confirmation letter to Director of Library Services Janine West and council.

The grant will be used to support Tales & Travel Memories, an innovative library program that provides services directly to people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias, and their caregivers. It was developed in 2013 by Mary Beth Reidner, a librarian whose husband had been diagnosed with dementia. Since then, the program has been offered in many North American libraries as well as many institutions caring for patients with dementia.

The program will be offered weekly, in six or eight  week sessions starting in late August and each meeting will take participants on an imaginary trip to another country using library materials such as highly illustrated adult and children’s books, music, souvenirs and other objects, folktales and stories, interesting facts and video about each destination. From now until late August time will be spent planning, purchasing materials for each kit, and promoting the program.

The program will be open to eight to 10 seniors suffering from dementia as well as their caregivers. (Caregiver attendance is required). Three to four sessions would be offered to reach as many seniors as possible.

The program will  be guided by a Katie Bezaire, the Seniors’ Services librarian. We are also hoping to enlist the support of the Alzheimer’s Society or the Alzheimer’s Group Inc. Volunteers also play a vital role in this project. They contribute to the planning, assist with the creation of the travel kits, help with the food and assist at each program offering personalized attention.

The sessions encourage participation, conversation and the sharing of memories providing stimulation for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia and it also provides an activity for caregivers.

According to a research study in Tales and Travel is an effective program. Caregivers and volunteers observe increased social interaction, increased cognitive interaction, and various types of cognitive engagement, including verbalization, memory recall, reading ability, and emotional engagement. Caregivers also report improved relationships with their loved ones as a result of the program.

The grant money will be used to purchase materials for each country kit, training and support from one of the Alzheimer’s support organizations, promotion and staff time.

The NHSP  is a federal grants and contributions program that funds projects that empower seniors in their communities and contribute to improving seniors’ health and well-being. The program provides funding for projects that make a difference in the lives of seniors and in their communities. Seniors lead and inspire projects to make a difference in the lives of others and in their communitie

New Horizons for Seniors Programs promote seniors’ volunteerism, mentorship and civic leadership.  The goal is to inspire goodwill, sharing and friendship in our communities.  Our government is providing a wide range of opportunities for seniors to participate in meaningful activities that nurture their personal growth and foster community prosperity. These projects help seniors keep active, stay connected, share their knowledge and continue to enhance their skills to face the challenges of our rapidly evolving society.

Thanks to our Director of Library Services Janine West for all of her work on the dossier. More to come.

A brand new kosher deli, Fin Gourmet sur l’Avenue, held its grand opening this week on The Avenue in Côte Saint-Luc District 2, which I represent.

The ribbon cutting.

When the apartment building on The Avenue opened seven years ago, the ground floor was zoned commercial. Last year an orthodontist opened shop and now we have a  fabulous spot offering a wide array of kosher cuisine. It should help fill part of the void left by the closure of the J &R Kosher deli.

My Bialik High School Local Commerce interns share in the celebration.

The husband and wife team of Edmond and Veronique Abecassis are the owners. Their son Brandon, a general contractor for Jackson Construction, built the interior. Bhavik Patel and Chelsea Delena are the chefs.

Some of the goods for sale.

I was delighted to attend the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony in the company of Mount Royal Liberal MP Anthony Housefather and five members of my Local Commerce Student Committee, Avery Hannon, Noah Galambos, Jeremy Nashen, Alexa Omer and Liana Levary from Bialik High School. Bravo to landlord Emile Badea for choosing an excellent tenant.  Here you can explore an exciting array of offerings that are sure to delight your palate and satisfy your cravings. From in-house meals crafted with love to convenient grab-and-go options,  they have something for everyone.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

•      Packaged Grab & Go Meals: Perfectly portioned and ready to enjoy wherever you are.
•      Cold Cuts & Exclusive Meat Cuts: A curated selection of fine kosher meats, including artisanal cold cuts and exclusive cuts you won’t find anywhere else.
•      Frozen Packaged Food: Stock up on high-quality, frozen delights that are perfect for quick and easy meals.
•      Baked Goods & Big Cakes: From everyday treats to special occasion cakes, our bakery will satisfy your sweet tooth.
•      Charcuterie & Pâté: Gourmet selections for your charcuterie boards or sophisticated snacks.
•      Spices & Nuts: Enhance your culinary creations with our diverse range of spices and premium nuts.
•      Packaged Olives: A variety of olives, perfectly packed to complement your meals or as a savory snack.

“We’re passionate about offering only the finest ingredients and products to our community,” said Veronique.

There was a such a superb selection of ready to eat and freshly made items,  including chicken shawarma,  bbq wings, roasted potatoes, green beans, chicken wings, chicken fingers, chicken schnitzel, chicken burgers, general tao chicken, sweet and sour meatballs, fried rice, noodles, spring rolls, fish balls, quiche, sandwiches and spring rolls.  They had fresh challahs and rolls and some delicious chocolates. In addition, there was kosher chicken, minced meat, lamb rack and more.

For more information call 514-369-2522. Their website will be online soon.

Soon after the last election two years ago, Mayor Mitchell Brownstein handed me the Local Commerce portfolio. Since that time I have been interacting with a lot of our local business leaders and launched our Spotlight on Local Merchants feature.

Noah and Avery attended the most recent public council meeting.

Recently I reached out to Avi Satov, Co-Head of School at JPPS-Bialik to ask if any of his students were interested in doing some community service with me.   Two Grade 9 students, Noah Galambos and Avery Hannon, stepped forward. Noah is one of my constituents. They have jumped into this new role with great enthusiasm.

Noah, Avery and perhaps some others who might join the team have an initial mandate to visit our three main shopping centres – Quartier Cavendish, Decarie Square and the Côte St. Luc Shopping Centre. They will initially do surveys with shoppers, finding out what they like and dislike about the venues.  Once this task is completed, they will return to the same locations and talk to the business owners. All of this will be written about in a report I will share with council and the public.  The goal will be for Noah and Avery to continue visiting other merchants.

I wish to thank these young men for getting involved. And they both told me they intend to well exceed their required community hours.

Deux étudiants de Bialik se joignent à mon initiative sur le commerce local

Peu après les dernières élections, il y a deux ans, le maire Mitchell Brownstein m'a confié le portefeuille du commerce local. Depuis lors, je me suis entretenu avec de nombreux chefs d'entreprise locaux et j'ai lancé notre rubrique "Spotlight on Local Merchants" (Pleins feux sur les commerçants locaux).

Récemment, j'ai contacté Avi Satov, codirecteur de l'école JPPS-Bialik, pour lui demander si l'un de ses élèves était intéressé par un travail d'intérêt général avec moi.   Deux élèves de 9e année, Noah Galambos et Avery Hannon, se sont manifestés. Noah est l'un de mes électeurs. Ils se sont lancés dans ce nouveau rôle avec beaucoup d'enthousiasme.

Noah, Avery et peut-être d'autres qui pourraient se joindre à l'équipe ont pour mandat initial de visiter nos trois principaux centres commerciaux - le Quartier Cavendish, le Decarie Square et le Centre commercial Côte Saint-Luc. Dans un premier temps, ils mèneront des enquêtes auprès des clients pour savoir ce qu'ils aiment et ce qu'ils n'aiment pas dans ces lieux.  Une fois cette tâche accomplie, ils retourneront aux mêmes endroits et s'entretiendront avec les propriétaires des commerces. Tout cela fera l'objet d'un rapport que je communiquerai au conseil et au public.  L'objectif est que Noah et Avery continuent à rendre visite à d'autres commerçants.

Je tiens à remercier ces jeunes gens de s'être impliqués. Ils m'ont tous deux dit qu'ils avaient l'intention de dépasser largement le nombre d'heures de travail d'intérêt général qu'ils doivent effectuer.

Aaron Bitton has big plans for the office building at the corner of Cavendish and Kildare. Via his family’s company, Holand Leasing, he has already submitted two zoning amendment requests to city council to add a pharmacy and a café.  A public consultation meeting was held on July 11 and nobody showed up. Those changes will be formally adopted on August 14.

Aaron Bitton with me in front of the building.

Aaron, 31,  grew up in Côte Saint-Luc and his father Gad raised the family here and remains in the same house. Gad is the ultimate success story. His group of car dealerships and real estate holdings continue to grow. Aaron had been living in Israel for a decade. When he returned home with his wife  Dalia and their five children last fall he was tasked with a number of projects including this building in the heart of my District 2.

For years the building housed Police Station 9. The Royal Bank remains anchor tenant.  Aaron has his sights set on attracting medical and dental clinics, massage therapists, music studios, professionals and a daycare. While there is no present-day zoning for the latter, a trial run has been in place for months. Hebrew Academy’s daycare has been parked here temporarily after a pipe burst in its headquarters. I  accompanied Aaron to the building recently. Drop off was scattered between 7:30 am and 9 am. There is an entrance via the back parking lot, so if this comes to council a lot of the obvious questions will already have answers.

The café will have an outdoor entrance and a terrasse. Aaron hopes work can begin on this soon. I believe this will be a wonderful addition to the neighbourhood. As for the pharmacy, I did express some concern about this given the fact we have one of the best in the business across the street. Pharmaprix Cavendish is expertly run by the husband and wife team of David Banon and Sarah Ettedgui and serves the community well. Aaron has assured council he is looking to add a very small pharmacy that will there to handle prescriptions for the medical clinics he hopes to attract.

Aaron would also like to see if he can lure  clinics for blood tests and radiology. Family Physician Dr. Norman Sabin, a regular council meeting attendee who practices out of the Queen Elizabeth Health Centre, said he’d relocate to the Cavendish/Kildare building if such services would be offered.

As for parking, there are 96 indoor and 76 outdoor. Unquestionably, with thousands of people living within easy walking distance, potential medical clinics would not necessarily require people to arrive via a vehicle.

“Last year one of our major tenants left after having been here for 10 years,” Aaron explained. “That left us with a 75 percent vacancy rate. We intend to fill all of those spots in a way that the neighbourhood benefits as well.”

For the Côte Saint-Luc Local Commerce Committee, the Spotlight on Local Merchants for May 2023 shines on Bijü at Quartier Cavendish. This very popular kiosk has been located across from Pharmaprix since 2009 offering jewelry and watch repair, including battery changes on the spot.

Samara Nemeroff, Stephane Znaty, his mom Mireille, the Mayor and Council.

Owner Stephane Znaty, assisted by his mother Mireille and Samara Nemeroff, always greets customers with a smile. Bijü specializes in high-end hand-crafted diamond with platinum or gold jewelry to the every day silver jewelry piece as well as fashion jewelry. From custom designs to importing / exporting hand selected jewelry, Bijü’s primary goal is always focused on quality, price and th latest trends. Stephane will even remodel jewelry, all from the comfort of his private workshop.

Bijü is open from 10 am to 6 pm Monday to Thursday and 10 am to 5 pm Friday through Sunday.

Mai 2023: Stéphane Znaty de Bijü

Le Comité de commerce local de Côte Saint-Luc est heureux de reconnaître la bijouterie Bijü, au Quartier Cavendish pour le mois de mai 2023. Ce kiosque très populaire est situé en face de Pharmaprix depuis 2009 et offre des services de réparation de bijoux et de montres, y compris le changement de piles sur place.

Le propriétaire Stéphane Znaty, assisté de sa mère Mireille et de Samara Nemeroff, accueille toujours les clients avec le sourire. Bijü se spécialise dans les bijoux haut de gamme en diamant, en platine ou en or, ainsi que dans les bijoux en argent et les bijoux de mode. De la création sur mesure à l’importation/exportation de bijoux sélectionnés à la main, l’objectif principal de Bijü est toujours la qualité, le prix et les dernières tendances. Stéphane peut même remodeler des bijoux, le tout dans le confort de son atelier privé.

Bijü est ouvert de 10 h à 18 h du lundi au jeudi et de 10 h à 17 h du vendredi au dimanche.

King David Residence

We are also happy to recognize   the King David Residence. As the Spotlight on Local Merchants recipient for October 2022, Residence Le King David, located at the corner of Trent and Baily, has been providing excellent service and care to seniors for over 45 years through an all-inclusive assisted living program including 3 Kosher meals a day, housekeeping, laundry services and a walk-in infirmary.

Founded in 1975, the King David staff includes many members with 20-30 years experience working at the residence who have built strong roots. The King David offers different sizes and styles of apartments for singles or couples and in-house care packages as needed. They partner with the CLSC or private caregivers providing flexibility and choice if a resident needs extra services.

Councillor Erdelyi presents the certificate at King David.

Côte Saint-Luc District 4 Councillor Steven Erdelyi believes that Le King David is an excellent example for all merchants. “The team led by Executive Director Anna Mylonas and Operations Manager Rosemarie Williams become part of the extended family of those living at the residence,” he said. “Le King David offers an opportunity for its residents to live life to the fullest in a beautiful and friendly environment.”

“It is a pleasure to see and greet our residents each and every day. I am happy to see them get the support they need here to get better,” said Anna Mylonas, Executive Director of Le King David. “Our mission is to help our residents live a happy, vibrant and fulfilled lifestyle.”

You can read the full profile here.

Le Comité de commerce local de Côte Saint-Luc est heureux de reconnaître la Résidence Le King David.

En tant que récipiendaire du prix Marchand local pour le mois d’octobre 2022, la Résidence Le King David, située à l’angle des rues Trent et Baily, offre d’excellents services et soins aux aînés depuis plus de 45 ans grâce à un programme d’aide à la vie autonome, qui comprend trois repas casher par jour, l’entretien ménager, les services de buanderie et une infirmerie sans rendez-vous.

Le personnel de la résidence Le King David, fondée en 1975, comprend de nombreux membres ayant de 20 à 30 ans d’expérience à la résidence et ils y ont forgé de solides racines. Le King David offre des appartements de tailles et de styles différents pour les célibataires ou les couples et, au besoin, un forfait de soins maison. La résidence fonctionne en partenariat avec le CLSC ou avec des aides-soignants privés, ce qui lui permet d’offrir une certaine souplesse et diverses options si un résident a besoin de services supplémentaires.

Le conseiller du district 4 de Côte Saint-Luc, Steven Erdelyi, estime que Le King David est un excellent exemple pour tous les commerçants. « L’équipe dirigée par la directrice générale Anna Mylonas et la directrice des opérations Rosemarie Williams fait partie de la famille élargie des personnes qui vivent à la résidence, dit-il. Le King David offre à ses résidents la possibilité de vivre pleinement leur vie dans un bel environnement convivial. »

« Chaque jour, c’est un plaisir de voir et d’accueillir nos résidents. Je suis heureuse qu’ils obtiennent ici le soutien dont ils ont besoin ici pour aller mieux, a déclaré Anna Mylonas, directrice générale du King David. Notre mission est d’aider nos résidents à vivre une vie heureuse, dynamique et épanouie. »

« Nos résidents se sentent en sécurité ici, et avec un peu d’aide, ils vivent de manière indépendante et fonctionnent mieux que s’ils étaient seuls, a déclaré Rosemarie Williams, directrice des opérations. Nous aimons les voir sourire, cela nous donne un sentiment d’accomplissement et nous avons hâte de venir travailler chaque jour. »

I wish to share with constituents a series of workshops related to our Master Plan and Zoning By-law Revision. It’s about an opportunity to dig deep into important urban planning issues and share your opinion. We’re organizing four workshops including the following one next week.

Workshop 1: Home-Based Businesses and Local Commerce

Date: Wednesday, November 2, 7pm to 9pm

Location: 5801 Cavendish, City Hall Council Chamber

This related to one of my portfolios on council. Commercial activity is a fundamental part of any thriving city. With the three large commercial centres undergoing major transformation over the next few years and changes in the world of retail, we need to consider what kinds of commercial activity are relevant, desirable, and accessible for our residents in commercial zones and in homes. On the latter point, especially since the pandemic, more people are working full-time at home. As for people who run complete business operations from their residence, this has always been somewhat of a gray zone. Going forward we will make the rules more clear.

To register, complete the webform at:

https://cotesaintluc.org/engage/2022/05/20/master-plan-and-zoning-by-law-revision/

The form is in the Workshops tab. Hope to see you there!
