Rivière du Nord - Screening for sources of contamination in the Rivière du Nord upstream of Lac Raymond

Lac Raymond receives varying levels of bacteriological contamination from the Rivière du Nord.

Rivière du Nord - Assessment of water quality and potential for non-motorized boating activities between Mirabel and Saint-André-d'Argenteuil

From Mirabel to Saint-André d'Argenteuil, people are demanding better access to this stretch of the Rivière du Nord. And access means better water quality for fishing, swimming and non-motorized water sports (canoeing, kayaking, etc.).

Thanks to funding from the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation as part of the "Soutien au rayonnement des régions" component of the "Fonds régions et ruralité", and the participation of the cities of Mirabel and Lachute, Fondation Rivières and the Coopérative Enclume carried out field scouting activities and an assessment of the recreational tourism potential along the Rivière du Nord during the summer of 2023.
