Agglomeration Council Refuses Reasonable Request

The mayor of Grosse Isle, Christopher Clark, wants to negotiate an agreement so that the residents under his administration ca have leisure activities that are offered by the Municipality of the Magdalen Islands without discrimination. At the regular assembly of the Agglomeration Council, he spoke of a reasonable request. The residents of Grosse Isle must assume an additional billing of 25 percent, for registration for the activities offered by the islands municipality, in order to pay for their part in the maintenance of the used infrastructures, which is normal admitted Marsha Lapierre. The problem is that the youth of their village have no equality benefits for this extra 25%, as other youth of the territory, at the moment of registration. Ms. Lapierre wishes that the arenas must become regional infrastructures, much the same as the swimming pool, so that everyone will be treated on the same equal footing.

The Islands Municipality has declared open to the inclusion of the arenas, in the regional infrastructures of leisure generated by the agglomeration council. It’s director-general Hubert Poirier, recalls that a proposition in this sense has already been rejected by the transition committee at the moment of the de-merging municipality of Grosse Ile.
