The Serour Brothers to share their remarkable story at Gardenview

-

Montreal, June 5,  2023 – On the eve of their appearance at the Ottawa Natural Bodybuilding Championship later this month, the  Serour brothers  will visit their former elementary school, Gardenview (700 Brunet)  in St. Laurent on Tuesday, June 13 (9:10 am)  to talk about the importance of keeping in good physical condition and staying in school.

The Serour Brothers.

Liam 22, Jordan, 20 and Adam, 18 are excited to be headed to the nation’s capital  and  fulfill a lifelong dream of theirs  to  be stepping on to the bodybuilding stage together. They each had a unique introduction to fitness and bodybuilding,  but have pushed through any and all obstacles as brothers.  Their dad, immigration specialist and politician Richard Serour, is better known to some radio listeners via his alter-ego Ricky Cyr from a number of years ago on CJAD. Mom Gabrielle Azran Serour is an attorney and as her husband notes: “She prepares most of their meals. It’s like feeding three hungry lions; but it’s a labor of love on behalf of the lioness!”

 Each of the brothers has a different story.

“I grew up playing sports but always had trouble with my weight,” says  Liam. “At my worst, I was 230 pounds at five foot seven. I knew a change had to be made. My main driving factor was to prove to the world and myself that I could be the person I've always known I could be – a champion!  So, I am proud to say that in November 2021, I lost 60 pounds and won at the Popeye's Classic in classic physique. This lit a fire under  me and I knew from this point on that my purpose was to set an example to others – there is nothing that you cannot accomplish!!”


As for Jordan,  as a young child he loved martial arts but was always too weak to achieve any of his goals. “It was clear to me that I first had to build the physique of my dreams,” he said. “After consistently training for five years, I am proud to announce that I have surpassed beyond what 14-year-old Jordan thought could be possible and I am only beginning to reach my potential.”

Added Adam: “Naturally, seeing my two big brothers encouraged me to start hitting the gym and to be the biggest of the three. I have been training for the last three years alongside them. At times I doubt myself because of how young I am. It’s crazy that I am hopping on stage in my underwear to show off my muscles yet I can barely get into a club. But my brothers always remind me to believe in myself.”

The brothers note that the underlying factor that has led to their combined success in bodybuilding, martial arts, academic achievements, and all other challenges life has thrown their way, has always been their brotherhood.

“Our parents taught us at a young age that real success is measured, not in dollars, but in love and family!” says  Liam. “We were taught to not only talk the talk, but to walk the walk! To inspire by example! What started as a friendly competition amongst brothers, has evolved into something much bigger.”

The brothers are excited to talk about The Serour Shredding Challenge. In a nutshell, they are in the midst of organizing a transformation challenge in which people can sign up, receive a training plan, and gain access to their group chat where they will answer questions. The goal is to transform your body to the best of your abilities in eight weeks

“What makes this opportunity so unique is that the challenge corresponds to our competition prep,” says Jordan. “Thus, we’re all doing it together. “

At the end of the challenge, the top three  biggest transformations will receive prizes.

EMSB Chair takes aim at Language Minister’s talking out of both sides of his mouth about English public schools

Montreal, May 14, 2024 – The English Montreal School Board takes strong exception to comments made by Minister of the French Language, Jean-François Roberge, which unjustifiably take aim at English school boards. Mr. Roberge’s comments last week are particularly stunning since, when he was Minister of Education in the previous CAQ mandate, his administration issued a directive for the EMSB to reduce the number of hours devoted to French instruction in  immersion program schools. “Whether Mr. Roberge is ignorant of the facts, or disingenuous, such statements are unbecoming and undignified of an elected official, much less a minister,” said EMSB Chair Joe Ortona. “Has his position   changed? Was he not even aware  of what letter he signed?”  Mr. Roberge claimed that CEGEPs are struggling to apply Bill 96, Quebec’s language law. He went on to say that English school boards need to work harder to improve the quality of French of their elementary and high school grad...

EMSB very pleased with partial stay on Bill 96

Montréal, April  18,  2024 - The English Montreal School Board (EMSB) is very pleased with a Québec Superior Court decision that provides a partial stay of provisions of Bill 96 and the Charter of the French Language. This ruling also benefits other English language boards and the Quebec English School Boards Association. EMSB Chair Joe Ortona notes that the  Superior Court stayed parts of the law that would require English school boards to communicate exclusively in French when writing with key institutions of the English-speaking community, such as the Quebec English School Boards Association or the English Parents’ Committee Association of Quebec.  The EMSB had challenged the application of amendments to the Charter of the French Language adopted in 2002 that the government only brought into force in June 2023, without any consultation of the English-language community. “This is a significant win, of which the EMSB should be proud,” said Mr. Ortona. “While we off...
