Together we succeed...

During the Annual General Meeting, the president of the FCAMC, Mr. Martin Gauthier, thanked all the participants, elected officials and promoters who contribute to build our economy. He praised the involvement of the board of directors, the loan committee and the support of these loyal allies as well as the great work of the permanent employees. "Today, the services of the FCAMC are perceived as one of the important tools of economic development for the region", he said.

The results of the last financial exercise period of the FCAMC are very encouraging and confirm that the needs are still present. Clients are requesting more and more of our services and this clientele is represented now in a proportion of about 14% Anglophone and 86% Francophone, that, thanks to the partnership agreement with Canada Economic Development (CED).
