Erratum: Lac‑Mégantic Railway Right‑of‑Way

Summary#

This is an erratum from the DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND GOVERNMENT SERVICES, published in the Canada Gazette on March 4, 2023. It corrects the French wording of a previous notice under the Expropriation Act to make clear which land parcels are covered by a servitude (right of way) for the Lac‑Mégantic railway bypass.

What it does#

• Replaces the second paragraph of article 1 of the French version of the earlier notice (published on February 18, 2023) with a corrected paragraph that identifies the affected parcels.
• Lists the parcels by their cadastral numbers: 3 396 663, 6 419 471, 3 743 281, and 6 303 262 (cadastre du Québec, circonscription foncière de Frontenac).
• Points to the survey plan where those parcels are shown: sheets 6 and 7 of plan M2022-10869.
• Notes the plan was prepared by Maxime Bourgeois, land surveyor, on December 21, 2022, recorded under minutes number 11780, and that the plan is attached to the notice in the department’s archives.

Who's affected#

• The owners or occupants of the specific lots listed above (3 396 663, 6 419 471, 3 743 281, 6 303 262) are the most directly affected.
• People following the Lac‑Mégantic railway bypass project, local officials, and nearby residents may also take interest.
• The notice does not name individual owners or give street addresses, so the exact people affected must be identified from the cadastral numbers and the referenced plan.

Why it matters#

• The erratum fixes the official French description of which properties are subject to the servitude.
• Accurate wording and precise lot numbers matter because they determine which properties are legally affected by the right of way.
• Clear records help property owners, the department, and local authorities avoid confusion about who is included in the expropriation-related servitude.
