Alliance des villes des Grands Lacs et du Saint-Laurent

OBS: Chaque année, les Maires se réunissent dans une des municipalités du réseau Saint-Laurent Grands Lacs. En plus d'y entendre des conférences d'experts sur la situation du système, les Maires prennent des positions communes et émettent des recommandations sur des questions reliées à la protection, la défense et la promotion du système Saint-Laurent Grands Lacs. Les résolutions qui en découlent concernent les niveaux d'eau, le système de transport, le développement portuaire et commercial, le dragage, l'aménagement des berges, la qualité de l'eau, le tourisme, et bien d'autres sujets.
