The MRC Pontiac calls for a member on the Agricultural Advisory Committee

The MRC Pontiac is launching a call for candidates among the Pontiac residents, to fill a position on the Agricultural Advisory Committee (CCA). This mandate is for a 2 year period (2020 and 2021) with the possibility of renewal. The Agricultural Advisory Committee usually meets up to four times a year.
