Saguenay: no permit, except in heritage sectors
In Saguenay, redoing or enlarging the driveway of a 1–4 dwelling home requires no permit, as long as it meets the by-law: 9 m wide at most, and no more than 3 m in front of the façade of a detached or semi-detached house. The exception is the heritage and PIIA sectors, such as Arvida, the Quartier des Anglais or downtown Chicoutimi, Jonquière and Kénogami: there, a request is mandatory. For the curb or sidewalk, only the City does the work, at the net contract cost per metre plus $10. And winter hits late: at Bagotville, April alone counts 20 freeze-thaw days, nearly twice as many as in Montréal.

Winter in Saguenay and your asphalt
About 84.3 freeze-thaw days a year at the Bagotville station (1991–2020 normals): days when the air drops below 0 °C and climbs back above it. It is an air-temperature indicator, not a measurement in the asphalt, but each cycle can freeze the water left in a crack of your Saguenay driveway.
