37 year old Tasha Nicole Farmer of Centre Burlington originally charged with two counts of extortion has pleaded guilty to the included offence of fraud.
That has now been adjourned to August 15 to allow time for a pre-sentence report.
Farmer committed the offence in Windsor between August 29 and December 3 of last year.
The three levels of government have pledged over $15 million for the cleanup of the LaHave River.
The money will go mainly to helping homeowners along the river to install septic systems because right now there are about 600 pipes dumping raw sewage straight into the water.
THe cleanup is in large part thanks to a 13 year old girl. Stella Bowes was told in 2015 she couldn’t go swimming in the river because it was too dirty. Bowes, as a school science project, began testing the water for contamination and posting the results on Facebook. That caught the attention of the municipal politicians who got to work on fixing the problem.
