MRC du Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent

Council Meeting Highlights - February, 2025

Each month, the MRC du Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent will share with you the highlights of the Council meeting to better inform the population about the work of the MRC Council.

Administration

Alternatives in Housing

The MRC is pursuing its efforts to find solutions to the lack of available housing in the region, notably by researching affordable housing options. With the support of experts and in collaboration with the Société d’habitation du Québec, we will develop an action plan adapted to our reality.

Student Travel

Discussions are underway with local community players to find solutions to facilitate student travel to sporting events. A consultant has been employed by the MRC for almost a year to advance this file. The priority in this process will be to make it easier for students to travel to different types of activities, in order to give them equal opportunities to succeed.

Videoconference

To make citizen participation in public meetings more accessible, the MRC is working to enable public meetings of the MRC Council to be broadcast by videoconference via the Zoom platform. The May 21 meeting should be the first to be broadcast in this way. Citizens can already attend the monthly meetings at their local municipal offices.
