Important change to the Bingo program

Dear Bingo players,

Following a significant decline in the number of players, the economic impact forces us to make changes to the Bingo program. So, starting Sunday, November 6, 2022, we will attempt a trial period of only one Bingo per month (offered the first Monday of the month) but with the opportunity to win more prizes

Message from the new Executive Director

October 11th 2022

Dear listeners,

First of all, it is with great pleasure that I address you as the new General Manager of TVC22. Obviously, the pandemic, the departures of key members of the team, including Stéphanie Simard, Nicole Charbonneau and all the others, have together had a great impact on the organization. So to all of them, I sincerely thank them on behalf of the administrative committee and the members of TVC22.

Now, with your support, that of Videotron, CACTUS, other sponsors, we will make new discoveries; developers of new projects and programs; then, we will innovate to deliver a quality product that meets your needs and expectations, while aiming to ensure the organization’s mission in a responsible manner. That said, I invite you to share your ideas and comments by writing to [email protected].

Finally, since TVC22 is a non-profit organization, having like many other needs a boost to recover from the pandemic, I also invite you to contact us to help, either by offering volunteer time, service in kind, or sponsorships.

Clarence-Rockland mourn passing of late Mayor Guy Desjardins

Thursday July 8th, the Municipality of Clarence-Rockland came together to pay their respects to their late mayor, Mr Guy Desjardins who died from a long-term illness on Saturday.

A somber gathering of local and regional political representatives, as well as first responders and city workers stood in silence outside of the Town Hall as beloved Mayor Guy Desjardins departed the City of Clarence-Rockland for the last time on Thursday morning.

The procession made their way down Laurier Street, as onlookers bowed their heads in a final salute, before heading to Clarence Creek ahead of the funeral service, attended by close friends and family in St-Pascal.

Broadcasted live through the City’s social media channels, Mayor Desjardins’ son, Jason Desjardins, and Clarence-Rockland CEO Helen Collier spoke of both his professional achievements and the man behind the title.

Mayor Desjardins, who spoke last year of his battle with Stage 4 cancer, took a 3-month leave of absence three weeks ago but passed away last Saturday July 3rd.

The video from the funeral service can be found on the City of Clarence-Rockland’s facebook page and clips from the procession are available on TVC22’s social media pages.

The team at TVC22 give our sincere condolences to Mr Mayor’s family. May Guy rest in peace.

Leave of absence for Clarence-Rockland Mayor

The mayor of the City of Clarence-Rockland, Mr. Guy Desjardins, has taken a leave of absence due to health reasons starting Tuesday 22nd of June.

During the City’s Municipal Council meeting on Monday June 21, Clarence-Rockland Councilors confirmed that Mr. Desjardins, who has been the local mayor since 2014, would be taking a 3-month leave of absence.

The duties of Mayor Desjardins, who has previously spoken about being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer last year, will be undertaken by Councilor for Ward 7 (Hammond), Mr. Michel Levert.

Mr. Levert takes on the role of mayor pro tempore, also known as “pro-mayor”, until either Mr. Desjardins’ return or the Councilor for Hammond’s turn is over and Councilor Diane Choinière (Ward 8, Bourget) assumes the responsibilities.

The whole team at TVC22 wish the Mayor the best of health and a speedy recovery.

Departure of TVC22 General Manager

TVC22 announces that as of today, Ms. Stéphanie Simard, General Manager of the Clarence-Rockland Community Television station, is stepping down as director of the organization to take new challenges as the Executive Director of Unique FM, a radio station in Ottawa which broadcasts a francophone community radio format on the frequency of 94.5 FM.

The position of general manager of TVC22 will be assumed on an interim basis by Mr. Patrick Pagé, who has a strong knowledge in the field of visual production. He was also a teacher in the field at the Cité collégiale. In addition, Patrick has been working in the vicinity of TVC22 for 5 years; he knows the community and its needs having worked as a volunteer in several organizations in the region. It is with dynamism and passion that Patrick undertakes his new role.

The Board of Directors and the employees wish to thank Ms. Simard for her great contribution to TVC22 over the past six years. She was able to restructure the station, professionally administer the coordination of multiple projects, increase the reputation of TVC22 in the community and its surrounding and competently represent the organization to other municipal and regional entities. We wish her the best in her new role.

Time to start focusing on second doses, says Dr. Paul

As the Eastern Ontario Health Unit expects to have vaccinated close to 75% of the eligible population by the end of the week, Dr. Paul Roumeliotis says it’s time to start administering second doses, but cautions against reducing restrictions too fast.

More to follow.
