Correction: Lac‑Mégantic Railway Bypass Servitude

Summary#

This is an erratum published March 4, 2023 that corrects the French text of a previous notice under the Expropriation Act about the Lac-Mégantic Railway bypass. The correction replaces the second paragraph of article 1 in the French version of the notice first published February 18, 2023.

What it does#

• Replaces the second paragraph of article 1 in the French version of the earlier notice with the corrected French wording that lists the parcels covered by the servitude (right of way).
• Identifies the specific parcels by lot numbers: 3 396 663, 6 419 471, 3 743 281, and 6 303 262 (cadastre of Québec, land registration division of Frontenac).
• Says those lots are shown on sheets 6 and 7 of plan M2022-10869, filed with the archives of Public Works and Government Services and prepared by surveyor Maxime Bourgeois on December 21, 2022, under minute number 11780. That plan is attached to the notice.

Who's affected#

• The current owners or registered interests in lots 3 396 663, 6 419 471, 3 743 281, and 6 303 262 in the cadastre of Québec (Frontenac).
• Parties tracking the Lac-Mégantic Railway bypass expropriation, such as local officials, lawyers, and land surveyors.
• It is unclear from the notice whether the correction changes any legal rights or amounts of compensation; the item only fixes the French wording.

Why it matters#

• Accurate wording matters for land records. The corrected French paragraph ensures the official notice matches the survey plan and the parcels described.
• Landowners or anyone dealing with property titles need the exact legal description to confirm whether a right of way affects a specific parcel.
• This is a routine correction to the official record rather than a new decision about which land is affected.
