HEROINE WITHOUT A HELMET

written by Nancy Snipper

Are we women drawn to helping others whom we don't even know, no matter the danger you might put yourself in? Do you create your your own dare? Think of your experiences, your drives that plunged you into the unknown. What happened? Did you have to sacrifice pieces of friendships by doing it? Did others disdain you for your courage that they did not have?

Has the terrible visited your health, and the journey into deterioration gets worse every day as does the pain? Are you still working on climbing up that daunting mountain to make your health better? Do you despair when you slip back down a bit?

Has hope gotten you through the day or simply that you do not know what will happen to you that day. You are a heroine with little protection, and that defines you: valiant, strongly independent and full of tears to shed fears that do nothing to shield you from anything. You see, you are a heroine without a helmet. Embrace it, as you are a rare remarkable human being; you just don’t know

Hommage à Yolande Simard Perrault (1939-2019)

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE

Pour diffusion immédiate

Montréal, le 9 juillet 2019 - Notre chère, fidèle et grande collaboratrice Yolande Simard Perrault nous a quittés la semaine dernière. Fascinée par le fleuve, par l'énergie et la richesse du territoire, témoin de son histoire humaine et géologique, Yolande Simard Perrault a amoureusement vanté les mérites et les charmes incontestables de nos régions. Originaire de Charlevoix, cette femme plus grande que nature a fait comprendre à Pierre Perrault, avec qui elle s'est fiancée sous l'ardeur du soleil, toute la poésie de ce lieu et, surtout, de ses habitants. Sans elle, Pour la suite du monde, cette œuvre phare dans la cinématographie québécoise, n'aurait sans doute jamais vu le jour. La Trilogie de l'île-aux-Coudres est donc teintée de l'attachement et du respect profond de Yolande, d'abord, puis de Pierre, envers ce territoire qui les a tant marqués, tant inspirés. On retient aussi de Yolande sa soif de connaissances, effectuant même un retour aux études à l'âge de 45 ans afin de poursuivre sa passion pour l'archéologie. C'était une chercheuse, une fouilleuse qui a toujours été fascinée par le sol qu'elle foulait.

Récemment, deux documentaires ont pu faire découvrir la personnalité lumineuse de Yolande : L'avenir du passé, Pierre et Yolande Perrault de Mina Rad, présenté au Festival International du Film sur l'Art (FIFA) plus tôt cette année, et La fille du cratère, réalisé par les documentaristes Nadine Beaudet et Danic Champoux présenté en première mondiale aux Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma (RVQC). Grâce au prix Pierre-et-Yolande-Perrault, remis au meilleur premier ou deuxième long métrage documentaire québécois dans le cadre des RVQC, leur legs se poursuit en soulignant le talent des créateurs d'ici. Récemment, de magnifiques œuvres se sont vues récompensées de ce prestigieux prix, notamment L'autre Rio d'Émilie Beaulieu-Guérette, Sur la lune de nickel de François Jacob, Les Terres lointaines de Félix Lamarche, La démolition familiale de Patrick Damien, Le cosaque et la gitane de Nadine Beaudet et Transatlantique de Félix Dufour-Laperrière.

« Ma chère et immense Yolande, au destin façonné par tes rêves et ta détermination, tu as su, comme toujours, rendre la vie passionnante et riche de rencontres, jusqu'à la dernière journée. J'ai eu la chance d'être l'une de tes nombreuses amies et de te côtoyer durant plusieurs années. Tu as tant donné au cinéma québécois et particulièrement aux Rendez-vous avec la création de ce prix destiné à la relève. Ce prix qui porte ton nom et celui de ton grand amour, Pierre Perrault, gardera ta mémoire bien vivante. Merci pour tout ma chère amie, merci pour la grande et belle inspiration. Tu seras dans nos cœurs à jamais. Je suis triste aujourd'hui, mais aussi heureuse que tu sois partie comme tu as toujours vécu : avec force et simplicité », confie Ségolène Roederer, directrice générale de Québec Cinéma.

Amoureuse de la langue vernaculaire, de ses couleurs et de ses accents, Yolande a toujours défendu l'apport des régions et leur unicité. À présent, celle qui se décrivait comme une « rêveuse raisonnante » a rejoint son époux, vingt ans après son départ. Sa force et son intelligence en ont fait une femme aux convictions profondes, marquant au passage chaque personne qui a eu le bonheur de croiser son chemin.

MUELLER REPORT

You need to see this line in Mueller's report.

“If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit

obstruction of justice, we would so state.

Based on the facts and applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment.”

EVELYNE BOUTIQUE DRESSES WOMEN AND KIDDIES’ BEAUTIFULLY IN ALL CANADIAN-MADE APPAREL

Canadian clothing designed with authenticity and originality

Evelyne Shannon Drouin is passionate about fashion, but not just any kind. The clothing she sells in her beautiful store is made in Canada. Although each item in the collections of 17 brands offers its own unique style, each shares the same attributes. The material is natural; the item must be highly original and a Canadian-made creation. In fact, she sells brands from Quebec, BC and Ontario.

“We go for distinct styles. Most of our clothings is made from natural fibres. This feels lovely against the skin. We have classic cuts that fit, flatter and enhance the client’s silhouette. There is something for every body type. We want our clients to come and shop here for one-of-a kind clothes and accessories    that make them feel good and lifts their mood.”

Variety in Canadian Clothing Content

Walking into her store, I felt a cocoon of calm settling over me. The notably distinct clothing designs had their own natural allure. The classic, the dainty and the different delighted my eye and had its ‘wow’ effect’ on me.  I looked forward to wearing a creation that was completely made in Canada and cut locally with care and love

“People should know that our clothes do not come from any sweat shop. Nothing is made overseas. Everything is ethically and locally made and most items are made from natural fibers.”

Dynamic Designers

I discovered that natural neutral colours are key to sophistication and subtlety.

I loved the long-sleeved dress shirt sporting gentle blue stripes. Then again, a colourful blouse and a polka dot number beckoned me. 

Everything is unique, and because of the high standards of quality, the collections are timeless keepers. Whether it be a pant suit, a print dress or a stand-out top, you’ll discover this store has widespread product. Evelyne coyly showcased some items. She herself was wearing a  pant suit designed by Birds of North.

Cards and Bibs

Moving to the left area of the boutique, my eye caught a catchy corner of greeting cards. You’ll find some whimsical post cards with wonderful phrases on the front – each referring to different situations. Of course everything is hand-made in the maple-leaf nation. 

Take a look at the cute baby bibs and kiddie clothes near the cards. 

Talk about style for toddlers!

Foodie and Spice Connoisseurs

Brimming in gifts, the store has widespread product appeal. There’s a variety of bitters within the collection of mixology. Syrups and La Pincée – a line of mixed spices, peppers and fresh ground herbs in single jars certainly make an original gift. Also on the foodie table are attractive containers for butter, garlic, salt and sundry containers.  Foodie accessories abound here.

 Enjoy meandering and discovering the pot-pourri of Canadian-made goodie

How about adding colourful comfort to your home? The throws and pillows add variety pop, not to mention snooze comfort.

Jewellery… Simple and stunning

Finally, the extraordinary jewellery is beautiful to behold, it has a quiet dazzle factor. The glittering pair of gold quartz earrings yanked my chain. Long earrings with slither thin lace had its own exotica, as did the wonderful wood pendants of the necklaces. Organic and original, they seemed to embody Evelyne’s philosophy of natural simplicity. These treasures are also framed on the wall, so look up and  down at the showcase to find what suits you.
