Everything happening in La Petite Nation, brought together in one place

When I moved to Montpellier last year, I wanted to understand my new region. What's going on here? Where are the services? What day is recycling? I dug through a dozen websites, joined Facebook groups, asked around. Often the information just wasn't there. Or a phone number no longer worked, a business had closed a year ago, and an official link led… to a casino site.

I figured I couldn't be the only one. In La Petite Nation, the information exists. It's just scattered across dozens of sites, pages and groups. lapetitenation.ca brings it together, checks it and serves it up in one click.

Your entire region

25 municipalities, more than 1,000 businesses, groups, associations and support services, and more than 110 upcoming events are brought together on a single site, free of charge, in English and French.

• Your town, every day: hour-by-hour weather, collection days, road conditions, fire danger and municipal information.
• Events: festivals, shows, markets and fundraising suppers. You will find all of this week's activities close to home.
• The directory: restaurants, garages, artisans, health services and organizations, also presented on a map.
• The magazine: more than 60 articles to help you make the most of the region, including hikes, beaches, sugar shacks, ice fishing, markets and weekend ideas.
• Safety: AMBER Alerts and weather warnings as soon as they are issued, as well as information on paratransit and the Sûreté du Québec.
• The Thursday newsletter: suggestions to help you plan your weekend in advance.

Designed for everyday life in the region

A fast site, even in remote areas

A page loads in a third of a second, even on a weak connection. If you install the site as an app, your pages remain available without a signal. The site is easy to read and simple to use for everyone, including seniors and people living with a disability.

Reliable information

Every piece of information is verified and links to its official source. When a number changes, it is corrected. When a business closes, the closure is clearly indicated. You will therefore find neither broken links nor outdated information.

A free, independent site built with the community

Reading and registering are free of charge. Anyone can suggest an event, a business or a correction. The platform grows every week: Les Petites Annonces is now open for the region's garage sales, items for sale, lost pets and jobs.
