Canada Post Strike

The MRC du Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent is aware of the impact of the postal strike on our population. Federal stakeholders have been contacted to remind them of the essential role played by Canada Post in our isolated communities, and the lack of alternatives for this service.

Municipal Infrastructure Funding

Bringing public infrastructures up to standard is a major budgetary issue for our small municipalities, and existing programs do not meet the realities of our territory. The MRC Council has therefore asked MAMH to find solutions adapted to our region.

Protected Area

The MRC Council has agreed to support, by resolution, a citizens’ initiative aimed at creating a biodiversity reserve in the eastern sector of the Lower North Shore. This is the first step in a process of analysis that will continue over the next three years, giving the various parties concerned an opportunity to express their views.

Attractiveness in Healthcare

Aware that healthcare workers from our region are too often disadvantaged when it comes to remoteness bonuses and other benefits, the MRC has called on those in charge of the healthcare system to rectify this situation.
