The Shawville Fair draws around 55,000 people to a village of 1,700 every Labour Day weekend. The new tool counts down to opening day (3 September 2026) and, once it's on, shows what's happening each day — including the confirmed grandstand line-up — with the full schedule linked for the final times.

Shawville runs on cars, but there's one weekday bus to the city — Transcollines route 910 down Route 148. The new tool shows the next departure from the town centre, which way it's headed, the $20 fare and the free STO/OC Transpo transfer. Times come straight from Transcollines' own open data.

How full the ER is right now: stretchers in use, people waiting, and who hasn't been seen yet, from the health ministry's hourly published file. It shows how full the room is — never how long you personally will wait — and in a real emergency the answer is always 911, not a dashboard.

Three tools to start: garbage and recycling days for the village, a plain-English guide to getting Québec services done (health card, Hydro, SAAQ, finding a doctor) with the French names and numbers you'll hit, and a who-to-call directory for the central Pontiac.
