The FRR Volet 2 (Développement territorial) page for MRC Pontiac has been updated with significant new information for applicants. The project call calendar for fiscal year 2025-2026 is no longer marked as "À venir" — it now shows an opening date of March 25, 2026 at noon and a closing date of April 30, 2026 at noon. New application documents have been added, including the 2026 applicant guide and the 2026 application form. The former intervention priorities document (2025-2026) has been replaced by a new three-year "Cadre d'intervention pour la vitalité du territoire 2025-2028" which establishes the strategic direction for the entire agreement period. Navigation links to related sub-program pages (PSE, PSPS, PFE) appear to have been removed from the page structure. Funding amounts and contact information remain unchanged.
