The temporary of- fice is currently situated in the former bowling alley, on Louis- bourg street. That location is temporary though, as the SAAQ is likely to launch a call for tenders for office space, probably during the first weeks of 2017. The SAAQ is targeting Bonaventure again for the permanent office. Since May, the users had to go to Car- leton or Chandler in order to get their services.

    Contract 400119680 ESTABLISHED • MAY 1975 VOLUME 46 / NO 50, DECEMBER 16, 2020 $1.50 (Tax included) Santa’s Village in Paspebiac more popular than anticipated Gilles Gagné PASPEBIAC – Paspebiac’s initiative to put up the North Pole Village at the municipal rest area is generating such popularity that the expectations of the town’s culture department are already shattered, in a positive way! Close to 200 children had deposited a letter for Santa Claus two weeks prior to Christmas. Chantale Robitaille, the Town’s director of culture, explains that the initiative was organized in the same spirit that prevailed for the recycled bicycles that decorate the municipality in the summer, a project for which Paspebiac won a Quebec-wide award among the Villages-relais of the province. Cont'd on page 29 Siblings Jace (9) and Kayliey Whalen (6) of Port Daniel, were eager to sit on the ski-doos at Santa’s village.
