Pontiac-Kitigan Zibi remains Liberal with Sophie Chatel
Social Sharing Pontiac-Kitigan Zibi voters have chosen to stay with Sophie Chatel, CBC News projects. The Liberals have now won the last four elections in the area, which has gone NDP and Conservative before. Chatel was previously an accountant who worked at the federal finance department and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The very large riding stretches from Gatineau north to the border with Abitibi-Baie-James-Nunavik-Eeyou — which runs north to Labrador — and from the Highway 105 area west to the Dumoine River. Formerly known as Pontiac, the regular independent boundary review after the 2021 census added Kitigan Zibi to its name to represent the Algonquin community at its centre. There were also some geographical changes in its south. Six candidates ran this time.

Man accused of inappropriately touching young girl in lazy river at Orlando resort
The Brief ORLANDO, Fla. - A man was taken to jail after he allegedly groped a young girl at an Orlando, Florida resort on Monday. William Chatel, 72, of Rhode Island, was arrested on a felony charge of lewd/lascivious molestation of a victim 12 years old or under, according to an Orange County Sheriff's Office arrest report. What we know On Monday, March 10, deputies responded to the Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek located at 9560 Via Encinas about a man allegedly touching people in the lazy river pool. When they arrived, they spoke with the victim's mother, who reported that a man, later identified as Chatel, had inappropriately touched her 12-year-old daughter's buttocks while she was in the water. The girl then approached her mother "in tears and hysterical," according to the report. The girl explained that she first encountered Chatel on Sunday when she felt something touch her lower back and right side. Upon realizing it was an "elderly male," she attempted to avoid him for the rest of the time they were in the lazy river. She returned to the lazy river pool on Monday and saw Chatel again, and tried to avoid him when the incident happened, authorities said.

Following the investigation, Chatel was arrested and booked into the Orange County jail. At the time of Chatel's arrest, the resort informed law enforcement that it was unable to issue a trespass warning immediately. However, they intended to do so as early as Tuesday, March 11, once senior management approved it. Based on the facts of the case, the resort planned to request that a court order be issued, prohibiting Chatel from returning to the property, according to the affidavit. FOX 35 News has reached out to the resort regarding the incident. We're waiting to hear back. What we don't know Deputies were shown several videos that allegedly captured Chatel approaching young girls in the lazy river who were alone. In the videos, he appeared to "swim up to them and reach/paddle underwater toward the children," according to the affidavit. Detectives said they were made aware of a possible second victim of inappropriate contact by Chatel in the pool, which was also reported to authorities. It is currently unclear whether Chatel is facing additional charges related to that incident.
