Science
[edit]According to the research station set up by the Benthos Network (2008), the North Mékinac River is in good health. Note: Based on the composition of the benthic community collected on the natural substrate of streams and the condition of the habitat, the monitoring of the health of the benthos (natural substrate) allows the assessment of the health status of shallow streams with coarse and soft substrate.[2]
Toponymy
[edit]The toponym "Rivière Mékinac du Nord " was registered on December 5, 1968 in Commission de toponymie du Québec.[3]
