WORD OF THE MAYORDear residents,A few residents areblocking the road workon Scott, Lac Chevreuiland Braemar roads.While everything isfinally in place tobegin the repairs ofthese three roads,a handful of resi -dents still refuse to sign the servitudesnecessary for the work; an authorizationalready obtained from the vast majorityof the affected population.
These people not only endanger thetiming of these projects, but their veryexecution. In the face of this incompre-hensible stubbornness, the municipalitywill have no choice but to proceedagainst them by way of expropriation tobegin the work, with all the delays, risksand costs that this involves.
In fact, these people were also askingfor the roads to be repaired. We invitethem to immediately sign the requestedservitudes. If they persist in their
stubbornness, we hope that theywill have the honesty to informtheir fellow residents - especiallythose who have to frequent theseroads daily - so that everyone isaware of the reasons for the
delay in launching thesethree projects.If the hard-earned grantsfor these projects (morethan 2 million dollars)were to be compro mi -sed by such a delay,
these few people would be fullyresponsible to the population.We hope that these protesters willunderstand common sense and, in theinterest of all, fulfill their duties ascitizens.As usual, you can send me yourcomments, suggestions or questions bye-mail at [email protected] call me at 514 941-2224. I will be happy to discuss these with you.Thank you.
Your MayorScott Pearce
The municipality of the Township of Gore offers its most sincere
condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Yvon Lacasse who left us
tragically. Know that we will always be there to provide our support and
solidarity in this difficult ordeal.
