Lorette council defies referendum on sewage lagoon project
The RM of Tache council voted to raise a $1.1 million project cost by $496,000 for relocating a sewage lagoon near Landmark, despite a October referendum opposing the plan. The Lorette tax association and residents say the existing lagoon can be fixed for $85,000, and question legality under the Municipal Act and a previous order. Local critics warn the vote sets a dangerous precedent and undermines democracy.
