Decimated Flower Beds and Grass: Mud Everywhere

The lack of irrigation last summer causing the drying out of newly laid lawns, and the snow removal tractor's off-trail excursions mean that, with the arrival of spring, many areas on the Rockhill grounds have turned to mud, giving it the appearance of a construction site, rather than a property about which the Montreal Heritage Council said in 2013:

"The CPM considers it important that a landscaping management plan be implemented (...) in order to preserve the landscape qualities of the place in the medium and long term."

and about the "Contribution to the project for conservation of Mont-Royal":

"The layout should take more into account the fact that part of the site is located in the buffer zone surrounding the Oratory Woods."

(see l'avis de Réaménagement des espaces extérieurs - Appartements Rockhill)

In the face of such a disaster, one can only denounce the administration's lack of concern for Rockhill's green vocation. We demand that Minto take its ecological responsibilities seriously and dismiss contractors who are negligent with respect to landscaping!
