Just behind the fortress bulk of the Montfort Hospital, a short walk from the lights and roar of Montreal Road, a forested village appears — almost magically — on a hillside.
...Van der Roest was alarmed one day this past week when a tree-cutting crew appeared on the neighbouring vacant property facing Montreal Road and began clearing a path in the forest for a drilling machine.
...Both van der Roest and her neighbours, Al Crosby and Suzanne Parent, are worried the drilling, blasting and excavation will have a severe impact on the quality of their drinking water, if not on the entire underground aquifer.
