Civil Security Plan
Local Municipalities, in accordance with the law regarding civil security (RLRQ, c. S‑2.3), are responsible for civil security on their territories. The Municipality of L’Isle-aux-Allumettes has a joint plan with the Municipalities of Sheenboro and Chichester in order to maximize efficiency and share services and resources.
We recognise that we can be affected by a disaster at any time and the importance of preparing for such situations. The measures that the Municipality has put in place and the guidelines outlined in our plan are conforming to the regulations of the By-Law regarding alert systems, mobilisation and minimum rescue procedures, for the protection of persons and property in the event of a disaster.
Sûreté (police)
Chief of Police, Martin Parent, reminds everyone to call the Surete right away, if you witness a crime, or a crime is committed against you.
Animal control officer
Jacques Fortin (1-819-665-8333). Leave a message and he will return your call.
Fire Safety Cover Plan
The “Fire Safety Cover Plan” as required by the Province, began implementation in 2011. We are now required to meet new standards in qualifications, training, inspections of buildings, vehicles and equipment. As a result, we will be purchasing a new pumper. We will also be setting up a program to inspect all buildings for fire alarms and fire hazards. These standards result in an increased workload for our firemen, and an increased cost in wages, vehicles and equipment. The fire service levy has, therefore, been increased from $95 to $105.
