As part of an agreement signed with the Quebec government, the MRC du Haut-Saint-Laurent is launching a second call for projects aimed at revitalising services or facilities that contribute favourably to the region’s development.
The call for projects is open to municipal organizations, private and social economy enterprises, cooperatives (excluding private businesses and cooperatives in the financial sector), non-profit organizations, and organizations within the education sector, as well as legal entities wishing to start a business.
The projects must relate directly to community development, tourism development, or workforce development. Projects must be developed in the short term. Funding of up to $100,000 will be provided on a one-time, non-recurring basis. The benefits of the project must directly impact one or more of the following municipalities: Dundee, Havelock, Hinchinbrooke, Huntingdon, and Saint-Anicet.
Applications must be submitted by March 1. Organizations interested in submitting a project are invited to contact Julie Dionne, the MRC du Haut-Saint-Laurent’s community development officer, by email at Julie.dionne@mrchsl.com, or by telephone at 450-264-5411, ext. 252. (SR)
