Ville de New Richmond

What Ville de New Richmond does

Ville de New Richmond is a municipal government entity (ville) located in the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of Quebec, Canada, serving residents and visitors of New Richmond and surrounding areas. The municipality delivers the full spectrum of civic services — property taxation (payable in six installments), building permits and urban planning, fire safety and emergency response, waste and recycling collection, public works and infrastructure maintenance, and cultural/community programming — through a workforce of 11–50 staff organized into functional directorates (Director General, Clerk, Public Works, Leisure/Tourism, Culture, Urban Planning, Fire Service, Taxation, Communications).

The municipality's offering extends well beyond administrative services into a substantial recreational and tourism portfolio anchored by Parc de la Pointe-Taylor — a multi-use waterfront park at the confluence of the Petite rivière Cascapédia estuary and Baie-des-Chaleurs featuring boat rentals (kayaks, canoes, paddleboards), a 25-meter outdoor pool (Piscine Bruce-Ritchie, 100-person capacity), tennis/pickleball courts, an orienteering course, hiking and cycling trails, a community garden, an adapted-bike rental kiosk, and a Saturday public market hosting ~15 local producers and artisans. Additional facilities include the Bibliothèque du Vieux-Couvent (a public library in the City Hall basement, part of the Réseau BIBLIO GÎM network), the 380-capacity Centre communautaire Adrien-Gauvreau, the Camp à Jos rental venue, the Salle de spectacles régionale Desjardins (regional performing arts venue), and a Tourist Information Bureau. The technical backbone is conventional: a WordPress-based municipal website, the AppVoila citizen self-serve portal, SIGALE interactive mapping, Sport Plus Online for activity registration, and an automated SMS/email/voice citizen alert system — no proprietary AI or data platform components are disclosed.

The revenue model is a hybrid public/municipal structure: recurring property taxes form the primary recurring base, supplemented by usage-based fees (pool admissions $4–$5, boat rentals $25–$70, community center rentals $85–$590), one-time permits and licenses, subscription fees (dog registration $20/year, non-resident library cards $10–$35), and provincial/federal transfers. Distribution is entirely domestic and direct-to-citizen, delivered through City Hall (99 Place Suzanne-Guité), in-person service facilities, the online citizen portal, and field locations. The municipality holds a statutory monopoly over municipal services in its territory and operates under the Quebec Municipal Powers Act; there is no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no private ownership structure.
