Remaining an attractive and inclusive territory: the MRC of Témiscamingue’s intention.

As part of the 2020 Quebec Week of Intercultural Encounters, the MRC of Témiscamingue is inviting you to complete the following survey. By doing so, you will allow the MRC to better understand the issues and challenges of the territory as a welcoming community and thus help it remain an attractive and inclusive territory for the all the new residents it welcomes. Your answers will be taken into account and will later be used to draft the Policy on the Reception and Integration of Immigrants in Témiscamingue.

Given that the context of the current pandemic is exceptional, we ask that you not take it into account when completing the survey.
