A hidden cost from the 2019 Flooding could be falling on the shoulders of the affected municipalities. Whitewater Region Chief Administrative Officer-Clerk Robert Tremblay says the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is telling junior government the job of preparing new flood plain mapping could be a local responsibility.
The Whitewater Region CAO says Queen’s Park shouldn’t be skirting its responsibilities, as so many factors relating to flood-plain planning depend on the Province having the mapping in place.
