Our DNA
In the spirit of cooperativeA sustainable and harmonious recreational and tourism development that enhances the Bras-du-Nord valley and the Saint-Raymond region.
Our cooperative is a tangible, living and inspiring model of sustainable development. It's a park where outdoor enthusiasts, tourists, residents, farmers, cottagers, forestry workers, tourism businesses and local organizations live together. This cohabitation fosters genuine, ongoing dialogue and consultation to reconcile the economic, social and environmental requirements of Vallée Bras-du-Nord.
A little history
the fruit of local consultation between all these stakeholders
In the spring of 2002, a need emerged within the locality for an entity that would enable the harmonious development of ecotourism in Vallée Bras-du-Nord.
Riparian property owners, businesses offering recreation and tourism services, recreation and forestry workers, and local tourism stakeholders all wanted to see sound management and quality development that would enhance this superb valley.

A model of sustainable tourism
Sustainable tourism development meets the current needs of tourists and host regions, while protecting and enhancing prospects for the future.
For over 10 years, the Vallée Bras-du-Nord cooperative has demonstrated its ability to innovate and successfully achieve the goals it sets itself. This astonishing success, particularly in sustainable tourism, is a source of great curiosity. The directors are regularly invited to share their experiences.
Members, Board of Directors
and team
Vallée Bras-du-Nord is a solidarity cooperative based on an innovative cooperative management model.
The cooperative brings together employees, producers of tourist services and landowners offering rights of way. Its Board of Directors is made up of 11 members in all three categories.
All share a common concern for sound management and quality development. The result is greater control of the Valley's tourism development, and a stronger sense of belonging among employees, partners and the community at large.
