La Possession Mayor considers curfew to address local incivility

The Mayor of La Possession, Erick Fontaine, is considering the implementation of a curfew in response to repeated acts of incivility in the Kanopée and Moulin Joli neighborhoods. Following a meeting with law enforcement, social landlords, and municipal services, Fontaine announced several immediate measures to restore public tranquility.

Proposed actions include the rapid deployment of surveillance cameras in specific locations, the introduction of security agents in certain buildings, and revised hours for the municipal police to allow for later evening interventions. Fontaine noted that the current urban environment, characterized by high-density housing with insufficient public facilities and parking, contributes to local conflicts and an unhealthy social climate.
