Development officers

A major asset is part of the RCM's strategy to ensure the dynamism of its territory. Development officers are located in almost all municipalities to ensure a continuous presence and regular contact with the population and the various local committees. By stimulating and accompanying local actors in their projects, the development agent stays on top of the needs and issues of the area. You will find the name of your municipality's development officer on the Abitibi RCM website in the "Municipalités" tab. Don't hesitate to contact them if you have any questions about your new municipality or to get involved.

The Abitibi MRC is committed to taking care of our precious environment. A website has been set up to help you sort your residual materials, as well as the items you wish to dispose of. Several alternatives are available to you: recycling, composting, etc. As part of the fight against climate change, this site is constantly evolving to keep the population up to date on environmentally responsible trends.

Community organizations

Don't know about community organizations? Yet this alternative system is full of good initiatives for the population.

These organizations are staffed by people who are dedicated to their members and their cause, and who use their actions as levers to make their concerns known. The common goal of these organizations is to weave a social net to prevent anyone from being forgotten.

To find your way around, consult the directory of organizations and businesses in the Abitibi RCM on the MRAR website under the "Nos ressources" tab.
