Urban agglomeration of Mont-Laurier

As part of the 2000–2006 municipal reorganization in Quebec, the City of Mont-Laurier was created on January 8, 2003 by the merger of the city of Mont-Laurier, the municipality of Des Ruisseaux, and the municipality of Saint-Aimé-du-Lac-des-Îles. Following a 2004 referendum Saint-Aimé-du-Lac-des-Îles de-merged and became an independent municipality again on January 1, 2006.

However, the legislation governing the de-merger process provided for the creation of a new municipal structure, an urban agglomeration, which would continue to tie de-merged cities to their former partners for the provision of various municipal services.
