A city-funded study into finding a permanent solution for Rigaud's Chemin du Bas de la Rivière has been delayed because of COVID-19.

A 52-year-old man was stabbed to death following a break and enter into a residence in Hudson, near Rigaud in the Montérégie region.

A Monday night meeting that was organized for the adoption of Rigaud's 2020 budget turned into a shouting match between disenchanted residents and the city's mayor, Hans Gruenwald Jr.

So far, auditors have visited homes on Pointe Seguin Road, one of the worst-hit areas in Rigaud, where residents are still dealing with the consequences of the spring flooding.

The emergency measure, which was implemented on April 26 amid massive spring flooding, came to an end on Monday.

Gruenwald claims the he and other municipalities affected by the historic 2019 flooding are not getting the same funding for housing flood victims as they did in 2017. 

Flood-weary Quebecers remain on guard as water levels remain high in several regions across the province on Saturday.

The Galipeault Bridge, which links Île-Perrot to Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, remains closed due to high water levels until further notice.

In the town, 172 homes remain occupied despite the order.

"I am asking all Quebecers: when you're asked to leave, it's for your safety," Legault said. "We will take care of your assets later."
