The Ville de Longueuil (the city of Longueuil) ordered to pay $30,000 for damaging or destroying at least one bobolink nest

On June 12, 2025, the Court of Quebec ordered the Ville de Longueuil to pay a fine of $30,000 for violating the Species at Risk Act. The charge stems from mowing that damaged or destroyed at least one bobolink nest. This decision was made after Environment and Climate Change Canada launched an investigation following a report about the destruction of a bobolink nesting site in the Parc des Sorbiers municipal park on July 9, 2024.
