Rush hour at the new School park.

What do Entrelacs school kids, volunteers and sponsors have
in common ?

First of all, our kids learn according to the latin expression "non scolae sed vitae discimus" (meaning : We learn not for school but for life.) All year round.

Secondly, our volunteers permanently support our local institutions and activities like the first Christmas Market we had on December 9, the Salon des Artisans in June, the church, etc.,with never ending enthusiasm.

Thirdly, the sponsors spend their skills, time or money for whatever is needed, with the same enthusiasm.

But all have to be motivated first.

Entrelacs gave on December 14th, day of the inauguration of the School park, a good example of the cycle from motivation to engagement and then, to thankful acceptance.

The Council took the opportunity of the municipal annual cocktail for the volunteers to make this day memorable by launching officially the (partly) realised new Parc Ecole, and recognizing the involvement of all financial partners and sponsors for their engagement in 2007.

At this occasion, Mrs. Francine Lebeau, General Manager of the Samares School Board, found the right words for the inauguration of the School park in Entrelacs. She got warm applause for her speech, but also for the generous contribution of the School Board to the project.

Entrelacs Mayor, Ric Garland, opened another door to Entrelacs community life by awarding 2 prices in recognition of volunteer work, named in memoriam of Marcel Baril, who died early in 2005.

The Prix Hommage Marcel-Baril in recognition of a lifetime dedicated to community work was remitted to Mrs. Étiennette Lévesque.

The Prix Marcel-Baril Bénévole de l'année 2007 went to Mrs. Claudette Dionne, especially for her engagement with projects related to the elderly people of Entrelacs.
