Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Table of MRCs in the Estrie region

The Table of MRCs of Estrie (TME) is a regional organization established in 1995 that serves as a political and administrative coordination body for the nine regional county municipalities of Estrie and the City of Sherbrooke. Its mission is to unify the region around a shared vision of sustainable, equitable, and structured territorial development. As a space for dialogue and collaborative governance, it ensures coherence between local and regional policies while representing the interests of the MRCs with governmental authorities.

Over time, TME has become a cornerstone of regional planning and development. It coordinates priorities among the MRCs across various domains such as land use planning, environmental management, economic development, mobility, culture, and community vitality. Through a collaborative approach, it strengthens the region’s ability to collectively address the economic, social, and environmental challenges that shape Estrie’s evolution.

As the mandated administrator for financial support programs, the Table of MRCs of Estrie plays a pivotal role in managing, promoting, and implementing regional initiatives that foster community growth and resilience. It oversees regional funds through transparent calls for proposals, evaluation, and project support. The orientations of these financial mechanisms emphasize sustainable development, territorial enhancement and protection, quality of life improvement, ecological transition, and equity between rural and urban areas. By coordinating these initiatives, TME ensures an integrated deployment of regional policies and promotes synergy between projects led by MRCs, local organizations, and community partners.
