The Land Survey firm Courchesne & Fortin was created in December 1990, with
the amalgamation of two important Land Survey firms in the Outaouais area: Michel Fortin
and Alain Courchesne & Associates. With this merging, more than fifty years of survey experience in the province of Quebec were united under one name.
