Citizens' evening and “Protecting your residence against climatic hazards” conference

The passage of Hurricane Debby left in its path major quantities of precipitation on the Rosemère territory, causing back-up and flooding problems.

The Town would like to revisit these events at an information evening on Monday, November 25 at the Memorial Community Centre (202 De la Grande-Côte Road):

• Post-mortem of the torrential rains of August 9, 2024, presented by Mayor Eric Westram (from 6:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.)
  
  
• Conference on “Protecting your home against climatic hazards” by an expert from the consulting engineering firm JFSA (from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.)
