Tensions ran high at Rosemère’s latest municipal council meeting as frustrated citizens voiced their concerns over a range of issues
from rising commercial taxes to the ongoing $276 million lawsuit related to the former golf course
Mayor Eric Westram and the council faced repeated criticism
with many residents expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of transparency and clarity in the town’s decision-making.
Mayor Westram opened the meeting by acknowledging School Perseverance Day
with council members wearing green to mark the occasion
the tone quickly shifted during the first question period
as residents wasted no time addressing their grievances.
asking about an evaluation related to his property
He wanted to know what the Urban Planning Advisory Committee (CCU) had recommended to the council regarding his home
The response was that he would need to submit a formal access-to-information request to find out—an answer that didn’t sit well with him or others in attendance.
“It’s a little strange that we pay the CCU for evaluations on our homes but then we don’t have direct access to the information gained from those evaluations once the CCU was done with their work,” Fee said
questioning why a homeowner needed to go through a formal request to obtain information about their own property.
Concerns Over the Golf Course Lawsuit and City Spending
Cardinal returned to the microphone later to demand answers about the ongoing lawsuit regarding the golf course land
a topic that has remained a major point of contention in Rosemère
She wanted to know what legal fees the town was expecting to pay as they prepared their defense.
The mayor responded that the council is aware of the situation’s gravity and is prioritizing it accordingly
his response did little to ease concerns.
“It’s gonna be us that pays for that,” Cardinal said
exasperated over the potential financial burden on taxpayers if the town loses the case.
Another citizen shifted the conversation toward commercial tax increases
highlighting how some small businesses in town are seeing hikes as high as 15%
who had also spoken at the previous meeting about a long-standing sign on his property that the city ordered him to remove
challenged the mayor’s attempt to compare Rosemère’s tax rates to those of nearby cities.
and it’s nowhere near the same rise in taxes,” he said
dismissing the mayor’s argument outright.
it was clear that tensions between the citizens and the council were only growing
Many in attendance felt the town’s financial priorities were inconsistent and lacked clear justification.
frustrations boiled over as resident Daniel Robinson stepped up and called for drastic action
He accused the council of being ineffective
and incapable of making clear decisions.
How can anything get done when you can’t agree on anything?” Robinson exclaimed.
suggesting that the town needed an early election to establish stronger leadership.
“We are paying for decisions which you guys can’t even agree on!” he said.
particularly regarding investments in infrastructure such as bike paths
Some residents argued that the existing paths are barely used and questioned why additional millions were being allocated to new ones.
multiple citizens voiced their frustrations—even from their seats
The meeting veered close to chaos before resident Louise Allard stepped up
urging everyone to keep the discussion respectful.
Many citizens left with the sense that their concerns had not been adequately addressed
The disconnect between the town’s decision-makers and its residents seems to be widening
with no clear resolution in sight.
With municipal elections still months away
it seems as if many of the people of Rosemère are growing increasingly impatient
demanding leadership that listens—and more importantly

The final moments of a bride-to-be were captured on camera just before the helicopter she was travelling to her wedding in crashed
Rosemere do Nascimento Silva tragically never made it to her big day in December 2016, after horror struck in the skies above Brazil
The 32-year-old, from the city of Sao Paolo, had planned to make a memorable entrance to her wedding with Udirley Damasceno
She intended to swoop into the venue in Osasco, in Greater São Paulo, in a Robinson 44 helicopter alongside her brother
But the chopper horrifically plummeted to the ground just a mile away from the wedding venue
as Rosemere's future husband waited for her at the altar
which were recording what should have been a magical moment
The chilling clip shows Rosemere and her sibling smiling arm in arm, while the camera also pans to pilot Peterson Pinheiro and photographer Nayla Cristina Neves - who was six months pregnant at the time - who were also onboard
The footage, which recently resurfaced on social media
appears to show the helicopter suddenly becoming surrounded by fog
before alarms begin to ring out and the passengers jubilation quickly turns to panic
Rosemere's groom had no idea about the mode of transport his bride was using on the day
and neither did the 300 guests attending their nuptials
Wedding organiser Carlos Eduardo Batista said in wake of the crash: "All brides have a dream
and hers was to arrive by helicopter to their wedding without anyone knowing."
The wreckage of the aircraft was found in a forest area a short time after the alarm was raised when the bride and her brother didn't show up at the ceremony
is said to have been in a state of complete shock after being informed of Rosemere's death and the circumstances
which was supposed to take just 15 minutes
is believed to have ended in tragedy due to the poor visibility
Sao Paolo police, as well as specialists in aeronautics, believe that the chopper likely hit a tree due to the rain
According to Brazilian news outlet G1 Globo
the pilot had good visibility when the helicopter initially took off at around 4pm on that fateful day
But after about 21 minutes of being in the air
the weather took a turn for the worst and the aircraft appeared to become enveloped by fog
The publiciation said: "From the video
the pilot has difficulty finding the place where the wedding would be held
and also trying to keep the aircraft stable."
