This is to inform you that there is no project of a Golf Course on Notre-Dame Island in Montreal. Ceskberg and Associates is a fictive company that has never existed. Also, the City of Montreal Administration has nothing to do in this fictive project and was mentioned only to give credit to the story.
This petition was built to verify how and how much that kind of false information can travel trought the Internet. This web site (the actual hoax pages) are definitivlely removed.

Ceci est pour vous informer qu\'il n\'y a pas de projet de Club de Golf sur l\'Ile Notre-Dame
The reach of this message is becoming difficult to track as it spreads far beyond my initial expectations. I am currently sorting through the influx of questions to determine how exactly this misinformation took root so quickly. Please understand that I am working to address the confusion caused by this situation.

Merci pour la clarification. C'est fou comment les rumeurs se propagent vite.

What a weird thing to make up. Why would someone waste their time spreading complete lies about the island?

Glad this was cleared up. So much fake stuff online these days people need to check their sources before getting all worked up.
