Mirabel Mayor Patrick Charbonneau died suddenly on July 1, 2025 at the age of 46. (City of Mirabel) The mayor of Mirabel, Patrick Charbonneau, died suddenly in the last few hours.

At the end of April, Charbonneau announced that he would be seeking a second term in the November elections. At the time, he said he wanted to continue the work he had already begun, this time with the benefit of the experience he had gained over the past few years. As recently as June 4, he presented three new candidates to represent his party, Action Mirabel. His colleague Guillaume Tremblay, mayor of Mascouche, posted a message on his Facebook page, describing him as 'a man dedicated to his community. He handled his city's affairs with enthusiasm and passion.' 'Patrick, you are leaving us far too soon. It is a harsh reminder that we must enjoy life every moment. Bon voyage, my friend!' wrote Tremblay. In its press release, the City of Mirabel announced that it would pay 'a heartfelt tribute to Patrick Charbonneau, a man respected and loved by all. His dedication, passion for his community and leadership had a profound impact on the people of Mirabel and the city's employees. In these difficult times, Mirabel expresses its solidarity and sincere support to his family, loved ones and all those who knew him. The flags on municipal buildings will be flown at half-mast.' Details regarding the funeral will be announced at a later date. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on July 1, 2025.

Nova Scotia RCMP were searching for vehicle before deadly weekend crash
HANTSPORT — Nova Scotia RCMP were searching for a possible impaired driver in a vehicle that was involved hours later in a highway collision that killed five people over the weekend, police confirmed Monday. RCMP Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay said in an interview that the vehicle was the same blue Honda Civic that crashed Saturday night on Highway 101 near Falmouth, N.S. Tremblay said an extensive search for the car, that involved a number of officers in Kings and West Hants counties, was unsuccessful. 'We are looking for information from the public to establish the whereabouts of the vehicle between the time of the collision and the time of the possible impaired driver report and prior to that as well,' he said. Tremblay said police received a call about a possible impaired driver around 7:20 p.m., and the crash occurred around 11:12 p.m. The vehicle was last seen at a restaurant on Highway 1 near the 11600 block in Grand Pre, N.S. 'It's the same vehicle that was involved in the report at 7:20 p.m,' Tremblay confirmed. Investigators said in a news release Monday that physical evidence gathered at the scene of the crash indicates the Civic was travelling in the opposite direction of traffic in the eastbound lanes when it collided with a Nissan Sentra about 1.5 kms from Exit 7. Tremblay said the highway is twinned in that area although the distance between the lanes is narrow with a fence. 'The vehicle (Civic) was travelling westbound, but to my knowledge at this time we don't have information to indicate that they actually crossed the median,' he said. The driver and passenger of the Civic, a 43-year-old man and 45-year-old woman from Falmouth, were both pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the driver of the Sentra, a 45-year-old woman from Oxford, N.S., and a 58-year-old male passenger from Nappan, N.S., were also declared dead at the crash site. Two other passengers in the Nissan, a 50-year-old man and 29-year-old man, were taken to hospital. The 50-year-old from Oxford was later pronounced dead. The 29-year-old man, who is from British Columbia, was listed in critical condition. Tremblay had no update on the man's condition on Monday. He said the province's medical examiner is involved in the investigation, but cautioned that it could be some time before any toxicology reports will be available to police.
