A contest to design a logo

The municipality of Aumond has decided to organize among its citizens a contest for the creation of a municipal logo so that they appropriated the image of their village. This logo should symbolize explicitly the identity of the municipality and demonstrate it in the different usages that will be made of it. The existing crest is not so far challenged. It may be part of the new logo.

He gave his Name to the Municipality

Joseph-Ignace Aumond (1810-1979) gave his name to the municipality. Born in L'Assomption, he arrived in Bytown (Ottawa) as an employee of a Montreal merchant, and he started quickly in the lumber trade. He teamed up with John Egan and founded the Ottawa Lumber Association. It will be the only French-Canadian logger capable of competing with the "barons of the Gatineau", all Englishmen, and who held a monopoly on the cutting of timber on the Gatineau River and its tributaries. In 1840, the company has a thousand employees. In 1843, he opened his logging sites on the River Joseph (Aumond), being at the same time promoted lieutenant-colonel of the militia and being an important figure in Bytown. It is not certain that he has resided in Rivière Aumond but the municipality now bears his name.
