Claude Larochelle investirait 800 M$ pour prévenir les inondations
AI Article Summary

Claude Larochelle, mayoral candidate in Laval, pledges to invest at least $800 million in modernizing sewer and rainwater systems to prevent flooding. He plans to establish sponge parks, a Laval Blue Fund, and plant 100,000 trees to improve water absorption and enhance ecological resilience. The focus is on public safety and updating aging infrastructure in response to climate challenges.
