Development of a model for a concerted metropolitan agricultural park in Contrecoeur

Context

Since 2021, the Town of Contrecoeur has been working towards becoming a nurturing and innovative community, which has led to the development and implementation of its first Nurturing Community Development Plan (NCDP). With this goal in mind, the town plans to establish a metropolitan agricultural park within its territory—a protected, multifunctional area designated for various agri-food uses. This project represents the initial phase in a process that aims to provide the community with infrastructure designed specifically for its needs. **Objectives** This initiative will help Contrecœur adopt a structured approach to understanding the concept of a metropolitan agricultural park and identifying the community’s related needs. The project will involve documenting existing initiatives and outlining the initial features of a model in collaboration with various local stakeholders.

By completing this first phase of work, the town will demonstrate to the community and its partners its intention to make Contrecœur one of the first municipalities in Quebec to establish a metropolitan agricultural park.
