Shawville Post Office still for sale: Won’t someone please come and buy this post office? The “FOR SALE” sign seems out of place there where it has been posted for so many months. Probably the only post office in Canada which is for sale one would think someone would pick this up even just as a collector’s item. After all, think of the prestige one might gain by being able to say one owns a post office!

Fort Coulonge CLSC publishes bilingual information leaflet: Under the name “Réveil du Pontiac” the Centre Local des Services Communautaires in Fort Coulonge has put out a pamphlet full of information about themselves, and their role in the County. The first eight pages are French and the next eight are translations into English.

The CLSC, it explains, is a public establishment offering current social and health services, promoting social and health preventive measures through community action. It has a Health Department and an Administration and Social Department. 

Free services include four public health nurses and two home care nurses, a social worker, a social counsellor, three visiting homemakers, a social animator and “very amiable secretaries”. If you are not satisfied, the pamphlet says, see the boss.

Their personnel numbers 18 and they need two doctors now. They serve 17,500 people over 1,413 square miles, and hope to double their personnel eventually as well as to open branches in Chapeau and Bryson and to construct a main office in Fort Coulonge.
