Mayor Stéphane Boyer said the $100 million federal nature grant intended for a park linking Laval and the North Shore was misused, according to a recent investigation.
The federal government had pledged the $100 million in 2025 to protect and conserve nature in Quebec, earmarking it for a large park connecting the two regions.
A La Presse investigation alleges the funds were diverted to purposes other than the intended nature protection and conservation, impacting the park project.
