Environmental constraints on development
Locations of major environmental obstacles to development. This map shows potential wetlands, watercourses, flood-prone areas and steep slopes.
Interactive map
Since 1997, our GIS team has been entrusted with supporting the entire MRC team by providing mapping and spatial analysis assistance.
GIS can be a helpful tool for development and public safety planning. Our GIS specialists are also in charge of issuing graphic registers for 16 of the 21 municipalities.
The MRC interactive map is an informative, easy-to-use tool that can help you better plan your projects and learn more about what makes our region so unique.
