MONTREAL - More than 100 residents gathered outside the Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough hall in Montreal on Monday evening, demanding faster action from elected officials at the borough’s first council meeting since hundreds of homes in the city’s West Island flooded in June.
The turnout reflected growing frustration among homeowners who say they have spent tens of thousands of dollars repairing flood damage only to see their homes flood again. Many fear rising insurance costs, declining property values and whether rebuilding again makes financial sense.
