Trestle Cove Island file: The Town of Brome Lake retains Cain Lamarre law firm

Brome Lake, September 2, 2025 – The Town of Brome Lake was informed in December 2024 of a non-compliant intervention on trees located on Trestle Cove Island, a property owned by the Town. Following this event, an internal investigation was initiated with the employees involved in the file, and a few exchanges took place with the contractor hired by the landowner to carry out the work.

In early spring, the Town sent a letter to the landowner and the contractor indicating that illegal work had been carried out on municipal property. The Town then mandated a specialized firm to assess the damage, and the report was submitted at the beginning of the summer.

Since the position of the landowner differs from that of the Town regarding the scope of the permit issued, the Municipality has retained the law firm Cain Lamarre to represent it in this matter and to take the appropriate legal measures.

Regardless of the issue, the Town of Brome Lake always takes rigorous action when it observes an infringement of its environment. It will continue to take the necessary steps to defend the public interest and ensure compliance with its regulations.

No further comments will be made on this matter.
