The elected officials of the MRCVG denounce SOPFEU's decision
The Council of MRC Vallée-de-la-Gatineau is offended by the actions of the Board of Directors of the Société de protection des forêts contre le feu (SOPFEU). The mayors ask that the status of Maniwaki as a main base be maintained and that all activities currently carried out there be kept. Unanimously, the elected officials of the Gatineau Valley have mandated the MRCVG warden, Chantal Lamarche, to set up an emergency committee. This outcry has been noted among elected officials, but also among the population and the business community to avoid any restructuring that would abolish or provide for the relocation of positions currently established in Maniwaki.
