Exception in Beauport . Bay
Free admission to parking or to obtaining access to the Baie de Beauport will not apply. Bruno Marchand explains that the management of the site is entrusted to a private partner and that the city is bound by an agreement.
Chancellor Roy believes the mayor should not stop at these administrative details. She believes that access to water should be public and that the agreement can be changed.
I can’t understand why a family going on a bike trip has to pay for access to the site and use of the restroom, among other things

We’ll see what we can do, but for now we live with this convention
Mayor Marchand answered.
The city also did not renew the free rental of equipment, at the request of the official opposition. Marchand’s administration considered this procedure too costly.
