Bon matin, West Island — 2026-02-27

Bon matin, West Island — your local hospital just became an indoor swimming pool nobody asked for. Operating rooms at Lakeshore General flooded yesterday, because apparently our infrastructure thinks March is the perfect time for an impromptu water feature, according to CTV News Montreal. While they sort out this soggy mess, you might want to double-check any upcoming procedures aren't scheduled for the aquatic wing.

Weekend warriors, brace yourselves: Highway 520 eastbound shuts down completely Friday and Saturday nights (10 PM-8 AM) between Hickmore and the 40 for Cavendish overpass work. Your best bet? Take the service road or just stay home with a good bottle of wine. At least our orange cone collection is getting some premium real estate this weekend.

The lakefront path between Pointe-Claire Village and Terra Cotta is having a moment — crisp air, fewer crowds, and those stunning views of Lac Saint-Louis that remind you why you live here. Perfect for a morning coffee walk or an after-work reset before the real cold hits. Bundle up and reclaim your backyard before everyone else remembers how gorgeous it is.

The kind of overcast Tuesday where even the geese at Pointe-Claire Village are questioning their life choices.
