The Mayor
Municipality of the Village of North Hatley

Mr. Mayor,

I am writing to you on behalf of Action North Hatley.

The August 2015 edition of “News from Council” contains a serious misrepresentation of the position of Action North Hatley, and requires correction on your part.

The answer to Question 4 makes the claim that “Action North Hatley has taken a public position against any project taking place within the flood zone.” This is false and misleading, and harmful to the reputation of Action North Hatley and its members. The initial flyer distributed by Action North Hatley, in May 2014, and reproduced on its website, clearly states the following: “While we totally agree that additional living space in the heart of the village would be of benefit to all, we feel strongly that the type of units and the scale of the project need to be the subject of careful reflection and should meet the approval of a major part of the community.” This has been the position of Action North Hatley from the very beginning and continues to be its position.

We ask that steps be taken to correct and apologize for the misleading information you have provided, in a timely fashion, and that the correction and apology be circulated in a manner likely to reach all those who received the original August 2015 edition of “News from Council.”

Sincerely,

Paul St-Pierre
