Random draws

Big game hunting stays in wildlife reserves and at Sépaq Anticosti, as well as day fishing adventures at popular Lac au Sorcier in Réserve faunique Mastigouche, are allocated through Sépaq random draws.

Sépaq also manages random draws for special licences and trapping licences (Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs), as well as for private vacation lots on public land (Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts).

Private vacation lots

Mandated by the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts, Sépaq manages the random draw for allocation of private vacation lots on public land. These lots, which generally measure 4,000 m², are offered for lease on an annually renewable basis. With a few exceptions, these are generally wooded waterfront lots that are accessible by land.
