 There are 1,117 local municipalities in Quebec.This figure is excluding northern villages (VN), Cree villages (VC) and the Naskapi village (VK), as well as their associated reserved lands (TI, TC and TK).Local municipalities are governed primarily by the "Towns and Cities Act" and the "Municipal Code of Québec", while northern villages are governed by the "Act respecting Northern villages and the Kativik Regional Government" and Cree and Naskapi villages are governed by the "Cree Villages and the Naskapi Village Act" and hence are not technically referred to as "local municipalities".
