The regional plan for the development of the public territory is intended to establish, in conjunction with regional stakeholders, where, when and how land rights may be issued in order to ensure harmonization of public land use.
Heritage sites are listed in the (in French only) Répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec (Directory of Cultural Heritage).
