Repeat Offender Openly Threatens Public With Trespass & Theft

(North Huron, ON) In a series of recent emails, current North Huron CAO Dwayne Evans repeatedly stated their corporation’s by-laws only apply to land owned by the corporation, not private property.

At the 21May2024 council meeting, repeat offender and current North Huron Reeve paul heffer disagreed with the CAO’s legal advice, and openly admitted he will break the law and order staff to trespass and to seize property. 

Current by-law enforcement is refusing to violate the rights of taxpayers and therefore is being replaced with a private for-profit firm that will allegedly just follow orders and do as commanded by council.

Next Council meeting is 03June2024, 6pm.
