MRC PONTIAC DAY
Thursday, August 26th, 2010
Drop by the 2010 Ottawa SuperEX Thursday, August 26th to find out about the MRC Pontiac region. It’s located in the Western part of Quebec’s Outaouais region. Its vast territory includes eighteen municipalities spread over 4,178km and an unorganized territory of 9,670km. Only the municipalities have a permanent population (fewer than 15,000 residents), concentrated mainly from east to west along the Ottawa River. Like several Quebec regions, Pontiac experienced a demographic drop in the late 1990s, but the population has been stable since 2001.
For more than 150, the Pontiac economy depended mainly on forest products. The recent forestry crisis, which reached its height in 2008, was the stimulant for economic diversification.
Colonized by the English, Irish, Scots, Germans, Poles and French, Pontiac is a true cultural mosaic. 57% of Pontiac residents are Anglophones, and 41% are Francophones. There are more than 10 religions represented, including Catholics (70%) and Protestants (25%).
Pontiac has a very attractive architectural and natural heritage. Growing numbers of vacationers from all over the world visit the area and have wonderful memories of those visits. Our rivers (including the imposing Ottawa), 4,000 lakes, varied and abundant wildlife and a built heritage as diverse as our culture together form a lively, colourful and unforgettable portrait of our area.
Come out and learn more about tourism, culture and diversity of this beautiful area on Thursday, August 26th.
