HAWKESBURY’S ÎLE CHENAIL EROSION PROBLEM UNDER STUDY " $ 5 6 " - * 5 4  r  / & 8 4

Hawkesbury council wants to have a report on the shoreline erosion situation along Île Chenail before next spring. Council voted approval during its Septem- ber 14 teleconference for a recommendation from Councillor Yves Paquette to award a contract for the Île Chenail shoreline erosion TUVEZUP-BTDFMMFT&OHJOFFSJOH"TTPDJBUFT Ltd. of Hawkesbury. The decision was based on a proposed estimate from Lascelles last October on how much a shoreline erosion study might cost. The Lascelles estimate was for $39,500. Council had allocated $40,000 in the 2020 budget for the study but then the COVID-19 pandemic struck, forcing town council and staff to focus on maintaining municipal services and putting a temporary hold on some municipal projects.

The town’s recreation director is not available at present to canvass for two more competitive bid proposals for the study so the town recreation and facili- ties committee recommended in a report to council postponing the study to next year and putting the money allocated in the budget into a reserve fund until then.
