Over the course of 2 days, the town became covered with construction signs. They are reminiscent of the "Canada's Action Plan" signs (although without the same level of graphic design), announcing how much is being funded by the government. As you can see from the pictures, they are doing work on the church, the school, the library, and paving some roads. They are also upgrading the fresh water pipes along several streets, improving the slope (drainage) on the soccer field, paving some of the common parking lots, working on restoration of the medieval church ruins, and building several ramps (I assume for accessibility - they say "rampes pour PMR" on the signs).
It might be hard to tell from the pictures, but these are large signs - the big ones are over four feet square. When all these signs suddenly appeared, I assumed 2014 must be an election year - and it is. However, I read on Wikipedia that the municipal elections were in March, and the Senate elections were in September, so I'm not sure what has spawned this outpouring of tax-dollar spending.
