As I mentioned in my presentation, we are working on a project which we hope will come to fruition. It's a matter of survival. We hope to achieve economies of scale by sharing resources and services with the municipality of Péribonka. We also want to share certain operational costs. There are savings to be made regarding heating and electricity, certainly. The project really consists in giving a new dynamic impetus to the whole village core, and in offering an important lever in order to attract a larger clientele.
Péribonka is located on the shores of the Péribonka River, at the mouth of Lac Saint-Jean. The landscapes and vistas are magnificent. The idea is to amalgamate culture and nature, as well as encourage people to visit and discover the area. That is the general idea underlying the project, which as I mentioned is a defining project for our municipality.
We believe that by reducing certain costs we will have greater means, and that that will allow us to showcase certain achievements. We want to have a greater presence, not only in Péribonka, but also in the RCM—the regional county municipality—of Maria-Chapdelaine. As I said before, our museum is the only museum institution in the area. Given the resources at our disposal, it is difficult for the time being to play our role in the entire area. That is what we hope to achieve through this project.
Of course, we also want to offer new projects and create a new image. Since our permanent exhibition goes back to 2002, it goes without saying that the time has come to renew it. That is also what we hope to achieve in the context of this project.
We do a lot of co-operative work with the other museum institutions. The Louis-Hémon Museum is also part of the Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean Museum and Heritage Network. Over the past two or three years, we have tried to form an alliance with the other museums in the Lac Saint-Jean area in order to pool some resources and marketing strategies. We also want our offer to be better integrated so that there is more complementarity and to make it possible to achieve joint projects in order to...
