An action plan designed to prevent and combat illiteracy in Longueuil was unveiled by members of a group called Concertation Alphabétisation Longueuil (CAL), at a conference held at Notre-Dame de Longueuil school November 1.
Accompanied by the Députée for Taillon, Marie Malavoy, and the Chairperson of Commission Scolaire Marie-Victorin, Lucie Désilets, were members of CAL, represented by Lorraine Chiasson of L’Écrit Tôt in Saint-Hubert, Lynne Renée Houle from Alphabétisation IOTA, Suzanne Daneau of La Boîte à lettres in Longueuil and Sonia Desbiens of Fablier.
The action plan consists of three levels of intervention, including prevention, conventional professional intervention and a more pro-active style of intervention where the person requiring services would be assisted or accompanied to the appropriate venue.

RAPID's "Saturday Mornings in the Park" a Great Time for All!
This summer, a small group of special needs families from Montreal's south shore area experienced a rare opportunity to share fun activities and exchange ideas.
Moving between a variety of parks in St. Lambert and Greenfield Park, the group was organized by parents from RAPID and also benefited from contributions from volunteers and an animator provided by the ARSDI (L'Association de la Rive-Sud pour la Déficience Intellectuelle).
With new and familiar faces in attendance most every week, organizers are hoping to continue to build on this success to benefit more families in the future.
This activity could even branch into a number of offshoots, if the demand is there, including possibly a Saturday afternoon respite-style program where parents could leave their kids for two or three hours and/or a "traveling" Saturday in the Park schedule which would visit different locations around the south shore.
Some of the people in attendance came from as far away as Chateauguay and Carignan, as well as other areas of the south shore, such as St. Bruno, Longueuil, Brossard, Greenfield Park and St. Lambert.
