France Bonneville, who had gone through several difficult stages after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, had promised to give back to the next now that she is in remission. 56 golfers accepted his invitation, on September 17 at the Beaurivage golf club, to participate in a mini-tournament for the benefit of the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation. France was therefore able to donate the profits from the event ($ 4,305) to the Foundation, which places people with the disease and their families at the heart of its mission through research and innovation, support and awareness.

60 years of marriage
Congratulation to Louise Briand and Joseph Dumais (photo) of Saint-Pascal-de-Kamouraska, who are celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary today. The couple, married on October 7, 1961 at the church of Saint-Pascal, lived for 59 years in the family house before selling it and moving, in spring 2020, to Résidences Labrie, of the Ébèn Group, still in Saint-Pascal. . Born on the same date (July 20), but having a difference of 4 years (78 and 82), Louise and Joseph had three children (Bernard, Éric and Pascale Dumais), have seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. . “Jos”, as everyone calls him, was a carpenter and shareholder in Construction Dumais et Pelletier, in Saint-Pascal, until his retirement. Louise was a stay-at-home mom while holding various positions (cook, housekeeper) in addition to volunteering for several organizations. Today, the two “accomplices” are still in great shape and do not appear their ages (photo). “Jos” still takes care of his “woodlot” and Louise does crafts, sewing and excellent desserts, I am told. They will be surprised to see each other this morning in The newspaper of Quebec, which they devour from the first hour to start the day well.
