Environmental work causes buzz about Dorval Municipal Golf Course fate

DORVAL — Stakes that have appeared on the Dorval Municipal Golf Course have created a buzz of speculation that digging could begin soon.

However, an attorney representing an ad hoc organization to save the course says the stakes actually represent a positive step for people who want the course to remain.

Ricardo Hrtschan says they are there because an environmental survey is taking place as part of the end-of-lease terms.

“If any work started we would immediately request an injunction,” he said.

Dorval learned almost one year ago that the airport is ending its lease with the city and planning to expand onto the course land.
