Letter from Jean Pierre Landry on the pool project: reaction of the former mayor of Mansfield

Following the interview given by Jean-Pierre Landry, a resident of Campbell’s Bay and municipal councillor, the former mayor of the municipality of Mansfield, Richard Romain, reacted to comments criticizing the proposed swimming pool.

According to Richard Romain, this project has been abandoned in the past and elected officials should work to realize the project as currently proposed. He feels that this is a unique opportunity for the MRC Pontiac to put in place a structure that could benefit the entire population.

Unlike Jean-Pierre Landry, Richard Romain believes that the location of the project in Fort-Coulonge / Mansfield area will be an important asset and will benefit the entire region.

Jean-Pierre Landry, of Campbell’s Bay, published a letter two weeks ago in local newspapers where he said that the project lacked transparency and also criticized the MRC Warden Jane Toller.

Richard Romain is convinced that the project is well managed and that in his opinion, it is deplorable to have such a division since all the mayors of the MRC have already voted in favor of the project.
