League table of municipal costs, Palmarès des coûts municipaux

Pontiac (municipality) is still above average. (ie "better").
www.lapresse.ca/multimedias/palmares-des-municipalites-2014/

Comment by Mo: This is only for costs. Our Police and garbage costs are high, (large area, low population) and we have slightly more employees per 100 residents than average. On the other hand should we be proud that we spend little on Loisirs et culture (includes hockey, soccer, libraries)? ($43 per resident vs. $303 per resident in Gatineau, or $102 in Shawville)? Perhaps value for money should be the criterion.

Savour Pontiac 2011

Luskville -

The Pontiac Fire department, which serves Luskville, Quyon and Breckenridge, finds itself without a fire chief as of February 28, 2011.

Long time fire chief Tom Howard resigned his position at the last council meeting and neither the names of his replacement or the interim chief were available at press time.
