À titre de service public, FANHCA invite les citoyens de North Hatley à consulter le site du Ministère de la Sécurité publique (voir le lien) pour tout ce qui concerne les cas d’inondation dans des zones à risque. Le site regorge d’informations pertinentes sur ce qu’il y a à faire avant, pendant et après de tels événements. Mieux vaut être informé avant d’avoir déjà les deux pieds dans l’eau.

As a public service, FANHCA invites the citizens of North Hatley to consult the Quebec Ministry of Public Security’s web page (see link) regarding flooding in risk areas. There is a lot of relevant information about what is to be done before, during and after a flood. Better to be informed before such an event.

As debate regarding flood risk vs. development in North Hatley arrives as predictably as spring itself, I am sharing this story from CBC yesterday.  Perhaps the forward-thinking Mayor Normand Marnacci should be invited to North Hatley as another wise voice to bear on the folly of the current proposed project in North Hatley’s own flood zone.
