stabilized at around 1,000 people (6). Unofficial figures (7) from the 1970s estimated that Rawdon\u2019s population could triple during vacation and holiday periods. Thus, the population of 4,060 recorded in the 1971 census could rise to as many as 12,000 people when including those staying in its hotels, campgrounds, summer camps and cottages as well as other visitors (8). For example, the Val-Pontbriand-sur-le-lac campground alone could accommodate up to 300 families, or just over a thousand people. In 2026, the municipality has approximately 13,124 residents (9). The proportion of non-residents is lower, however, due to the conversion of cottages and second homes into primary residences.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Several other aspects of Rawdon\u2019s history are
