What Ville de Gaspe does

Ville de Gaspé is a municipal government entity incorporated under Quebec's Cities and Towns Act, delivering statutory local government services to residents and businesses of the Gaspé Peninsula in eastern Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1873 and headquartered at 25 rue de l'Hotel-de-Ville, Gaspé, the municipality administers a full portfolio of public services including public works, urban planning and land use regulation, civil security (fire services), waste management and residual materials collection, recreational and cultural services, and administrative and legal affairs. It owns and operates the Aéroport Michel-Pouliot de Gaspé (YGP/CYGP), a regional airport acquired in 1998 that handles approximately 25,000 passengers and 3,000+ aircraft movements annually, providing scheduled service to Quebec City and Montreal via Pascan Aviation and PAL Airlines, and serving as a logistics node for wind turbine blade transport.

The municipality's core operational technology is a transactional online portal (ville.gaspe.qc.ca) that supports tax payments, permit applications, assessment roll access, public notices, event calendars, and service requests, complemented by a municipal alerts system (alertesmunicipales.com). Physical infrastructure includes two municipal garages (Gaspé and Rivière-au-Renard) for fleet maintenance, snow removal, and public works, plus a network of fire stations, arenas, and libraries. A signature capital project is the 6.3 km road link connecting the Parc industriel des Augustines to the Port of Gaspé, designed to transport 107-meter LM WindPower wind turbine blades, budgeted at 20-22M CAD with 19M CAD in Quebec provincial funding.

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: annual property taxes (taxes foncières) on real estate within the municipality, user fees and service charges (water/sewage, waste collection, building permits, zoning certificates), and provincial government grants and transfers for infrastructure projects. Distribution occurs through in-person service counters at city hall and operational sites, the self-serve online municipal portal, and direct commercial operations at the airport terminal (fuel sales, landing and terminal fees, hangar rental, car rental coordination).
