Municipalité de Sacré-Coeur

What Municipalité de Sacré-Coeur does

Municipalité de Sacré-Coeur-sur-le-Fjord-du-Saguenay is a municipal government entity located in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada, serving the residents of Sacré-Coeur with standard public-sector services. Its core functions include urban planning and permits, property tax collection, public works (road maintenance, water and wastewater treatment, waste collection), fire service, and community recreation. The municipality operates from its headquarters at 88 rue Principale Nord and provides services through three primary channels: in-person visits at the municipal office, a digital citizen portal (sacrecoeur.appvoila.com), and field services delivered by a small team of approximately 5-6 public works employees under the Director of Technical Services, Jimmy Jacques.

The municipality maintains a portfolio of recreational infrastructure that constitutes a notable share of its service surface, including a recreational centre/arena (85 x 185 ft ice rink, 400 spectator capacity), an outdoor heated municipal pool (35 x 75 ft, 205 person capacity), a municipal gymnasium, a 7 km asphalted cycling trail (Piste cyclable du Grand Brûlée), a multi-purpose recreational park, and a summer day camp. It also operates an industrial park housing manufacturing tenants (Boisaco, Sacopan, Granulco, Ripco) and actively promotes local tourism through a curated directory of accommodations, restaurants, outfitters, and outdoor activities tied to the Saguenay Fjord and Anse-de-Roche microclimate.

Revenue is sourced from two primary streams: recurring property taxes levied on the municipal assessment base and one-time fees for permits and municipal services. As a government entity, pricing is set through the annual municipal budget cycle rather than market pricing, and financial figures are not publicly disclosed in the same manner as private companies. The municipality is publicly governed by an elected council, with no private ownership, parent company, or external funding. Strategic communications run through the official website (sacre-coeur.ca), an electronic newsletter, public notices, a municipal bulletin, and a calendar of council sessions and activities.
