MONTREAL After Quebec public health authorities told graduating students and parents that proms will not happen this year and graduation ceremonies should be held virtually or in class bubbles, some students and parents are asking why. We have waited five years to graduate, said graduating Kuper Academy student Taya Jacobs. All the rules are being lifted and now the new rules don’t make sense. We are willing to follow certain measures that make sense, but to be told no prom and a graduation with no parents doesn’t make any sense. We should be treated like young adults.
Traffic at Woodland/HWY 20 at 3:30 p.m. â May 20, 2021
The Ãle-aux-Tourtes bridge is closed indefinitely causing traffic mayhem from Pointe-Claire to St-Lazare.
Transport Minister, Francois Bonnardel revealed that dozens of steel rods installed to reinforce the structure were damaged during maintenance work. One of the rods severed on April 30th, at which point one lane was closed causing traffic havoc on Highway 20. Last week a second lane closed after a second rod was discovered to be damaged on May 12, worsening the situation. Bonnardel said that âMistakes can happen. I donât want to blame anyone for human error.â
At rush hour on Thursday, the MTQ announced a complete closure causing incredible traffic delays. Inspections this week revealed that about 40 rods were in dangerous condition.
