In 2010, the cost a Quebec driver’s licence will increase from $72/year to $86/year. Remarkably, this is a 200% increase since 2006. Have you noticed? I bet you haven’t.
Back in 2006 the driver’s licence for a Quebecer was $86 for a two year period. Since then, the SAAQ has decided to renew driver’s licences on an annual basis.

Canada’s Quebec is a beautiful place to visit all year round, but especially so in winter, when the countryside is blanketed in snow, and the cultured cities (hello Montreal!) brighten up with special festivals, performances, and fun.
For a traditional skiing vacation at a great value, Quebec’s Mont Tremblant can’t be beat. With a wide variety of trails, a pretty, pedestrian-only village, and the tourist infrastructure of Whistler/Blackcomb (thanks to the same parent company) with a tenth of the crowds at a tenth of the costs, it’s definitely a contender for Canada’s best East Coast resort.
