MONTREAL – Officials in some Quebec municipalities ravaged by past flooding say they fear possible financial repercussions for residents as the province prepares to introduce new flood maps that would greatly expand areas deemed at risk Five years ago, when a dike gave way in Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac the rush of water forced more than 6,000 people from their homes Residents have since struggled to rebuild their lives in the town just west of Montreal but Mayor François Robillard says the new flood zone maps are sparking more frustration because it’s going to have an effect on their daily lives,” he said in an interview Quebec’s current flood maps designate two risk zones for river and coastal areas — flooding is expected either within 20 years or somewhere between 20 and 100 years Under the new system expected to be rolled out in 2025 there will be four categories of risk: low Each category has its own rules regarding construction and renovation a property owner in a very high-risk area would not be allowed to build a new house on the property or rebuild a house that had been destroyed by flooding Robillard says the preliminary maps he has seen put 2,000 of his town’s homes in flood zones The drastic shift has residents in his town of about 20,000 residents scrambling to understand the impact such designations will have on their properties so from that moment the government authorized everyone all the people in Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac who were affected to rebuild without the restrictions of a flood zone,” he said “If they’d known that four-and-a-half years later that we were going to declare a flood zone … people wouldn’t necessarily have invested here,” Robillard said “They might have taken the government’s money and reinvested it elsewhere,” he said calling the government’s change of course “nonsense.” The Quebec Environment Department did not respond to a request for comment In June, the department estimated that under the new maps, more than three times as many Quebecers would find themselves living in at-risk zones — from the current 22,000 homes to 77,000 the department said the figure would likely be revised downward Just west of Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac on Lake of Two Mountains Pointe-Calumet is also protected by a dike It has not flooded since the 1970s and Mayor Sonia Fontaine says it has not previously been considered a flood zone the updated flood maps would put over 97 per cent of the territory in a flood zone Fontaine accused the province of leaving people in the dark and fearful that their property values are about to drop people don’t know what to do with their homes here,” she said adding that the impact is being felt even before the new maps come into effect people who can’t sell their homes today.” Both Fontaine and Robillard want the government to remove proposed flood zone designations for their municipalities and create a separate category for municipalities that are protected by dikes Frustration over flood maps has taken a darker turn in the lower Laurentians region of the province the Coalition Avenir Québec member for Mirabel announced in October she was closing her riding office for safety reasons Someone firing what police described as a pellet gun had shattered a window in the office and D’Amours suggested anger over her government’s plan to update flood zone maps as a possible motive In 2019 an ice jam on the Chaudière River burst free sending water and chunks of ice through the heart of its historic downtown said 59 buildings in Beauceville are currently located in flood zones “What we’re afraid of is that it’s going to increase with the new maps,” he said adding that even a low-risk designation could have a negative effect on their mortgages and insurance who specializes in climate-resilient infrastructure at University of Waterloo’s Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation said poor communication and a lack of readily accessible information has contributed to the outcry in Quebec Quebecers should not be getting such information only from the provincial and municipal governments but also from insurance companies and mortgage providers Eyquem pointed out that dikes can be breached and the risk to towns like Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac and Pointe-Calumet shouldn’t be ignored Although the new mapping system is a positive step forward Canada lags far behind such countries as the United States and the United Kingdom in countrywide mapping adding that the new Quebec maps do not even account for heavy rainfall which will be an increasing source of flooding due to climate

The club owners offered Kylie a massive bottle of Moet & Chandon splayed with Happy Birthday Kylie, a fitting gift given her newfound legality in Montreal. She told me the treatment was surprising. “I didn’t think [adulthood] would feel any different, but now, everyone’s going up to me and being like ‘Do you want a drink?’ and I’m like, ‘This is so weird!’" she said. “But it’s cool, it’s fun, it’s different.” Her life might be a series of choreographed public appearances, but there has to be a secret to staying collected in a family under the microscope. How can young women channel that same type of confidence? “To make me feel confident, I always change up my look and experiment doing new things, whether it’s blue contacts, a new hairstyle, or different clothes,” she said. “New clothes make me feel confident to just be different. If you’re different, flaunt it.” In a skin-tight bold-patterned long sleeve dress, the girl definitely takes her own advice. I felt myself holding my breath anticipating her collapse in those signature black strappy stilettos. This was a 90-degree afternoon at a sandy beach, after all, and while the Jenner-Kardashian clan is known to take a fashion risk or 12, I almost wished she'd throw on a pair of Havaianas like the rest of us…if at least for safety’s sake! But this birthday party, or perhaps profitable marketing strategy for both the Jennerdashian empire and club owner Olivier Primeau, didn’t serve much as an attempt for her to get to know her fans. Her guests danced around the DJ booth, relishing in the festivities and writing birthday wishes on a truck-sized card below. A glance upwards showed Kylie, in a white crop top and matching high-waisted skirt, taking selfies on an elevated platform. Far above the dancing crowd, she was alone.
