The Association du Lac McGregor Lake Association was established in 1946 with the primary mandate to act on behalf of the residents of McGregor Lake, in Val-des-Monts, Quebec.
We are active on various issues of importance to lake residents, such as water quality and the environment. We organize public events such as the Annual Regatta; we share information on environmental and boating regulations, and we lobby the Municipality of Val-des-Monts on issues of importance to lake residents, including the public access ramp at Parc écologique Pélissier.
The list of current Board Directors is found below.
