Minganie Regional County Municipality
Minganie is a regional county municipality of Quebec in Canada, part of the Côte-Nord region. The regional seat is Havre-Saint-Pierre. Anticosti Island is included within this region. It has a land area of 73,725.10 square kilometres (28,465.42 sq mi), and the estimated population is 5197. The majority live in Havre-Saint-Pierre.[1]
Minganie and the neighbouring Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent RCM are grouped into the single census division of Minganie–Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent (known as Minganie–Basse-Côte-Nord before 2010). The population at the Canada 2011 Census was 11,708.[2]
Until 2002, the Minganie encompassed the entire lower north shore right up to Blanc-Sablon. In 2002, it lost all the communities east of the Natashquan River when the Basse-Côte-Nord Territory was formed. In July 2010, the RCM lost another 44% of its territory when the Petit-Mécatina Unorganized Territory was transferred to the new Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent Regional County Municipality, which superseded Basse-Côte-Nord.[3]
