Quebec agglomeration
The agglomeration of Québec ( French Agglomération de Québec ) is an association of municipalities in the south of the Canadian province of Québec . It is located in the administrative region Capitale-Nationale and is part of the Metropolitan Region Communauté métropolitaine de Québec .
The agglomeration includes the provincial capital Québec and the communities of L'Ancienne-Lorette and Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures . For statistical, but not for administrative purposes, the community of Notre-Dame-des-Anges and Wendake (an Indian reserve of the Wyandot ) are added to the agglomeration. The Québec agglomeration has a total of 551,902 inhabitants.
The agglomeration was created on January 1, 2006, when L'Ancienne-Lorette and Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, which had merged with Québec in 2002, split off again. The agglomeration council has nine members, seven of whom represent the city and one each for the other municipalities. He is responsible for providing the following intermunicipal services:
