Mayor's Report

Roads 
We have continued with our five-year plan begun in 2021 by systematically investing in our road network. Despite a difficult winter with many freeze-thaw cycles and a very snowy March, our roads are steadily improving.
Roads regravelled- Total of 10.15 km

Blueberry Point
As there were no complaints received in 2022, the Ministry of the Environment will continue to ensure patrols under the same conditions as last year.

Community Activities
Large item disposal, art, Spanish, yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, aqua fitness and knitting classes were held, most of which at full capacity. There is a latent demand for these activities, and they will be continued again this year. We especially thank our council member Claudette Dupras for her organization skills which ensured such a resounding success, along with the leisure committee.

Administration
Land transfer tax: 36 transfers in 2022
In 2021 : 55
In 2020 : 31
In 2019:  20
In 2018:  24
​
Land transfers decreased with the slowing of the real estate market in our area. We expect this trend to continue. The surge in inflation combined with the reduction in land transfer tax contributed to the overall increase of property tax for 2023 (7.9%).
