An agglomeration, or urban agglomeration, is an administrative division of Quebec at the local level that may group together a number of municipalities which were abolished as independent entities on 1 January 2002 but reconstituted on 1 January 2006.
Urban agglomerations have certain powers that would ordinarily be exercised by individual municipalities.
However the supralocal urban agglomeration level of government was retained over each formerly merged region.
A list of these can be found on the website [1] of the Ministère des Affaires municipales et régionales.
For each agglomeration, the legally designated central municipality appears first.
