and had a population greater than 3,000 by 1920. The
Sayabec parish, which was canonically erected in 1896, developed rapidly and numbered more than five hundred families in the 1920s. During the same year, the Causapscal parish was canonically erected and included more than 2,000 people in the 1920s. The Matapédia parish was canonically erected in 1905. Its erection was delayed due to its inhabitants being primarily Scottish Protestants. In 1907, the parishes of Saint-Léon-le-Grand and Lac-au-Saumon split off from the Amqui parish. Lac-au-Saumon was mainly developed by the Acadians. In 1910, it was the Sainte-Florence parish's turn to be canonically erected, and in just ten years, it had already attracted around 700 residents. One year later, the Saint-André-de-Restigouche parish sees its first resident parish priest. Finally, the parish of La Rédemption was created in 1936 as part of a government stimulation plan following the

In his report, Crawford also mentions that there was no pedestrian path in the Matapedia Valley, and that it would be beneficial to the region's population to construct one. Kempt's successor, Aylmer, put the project in place six years later. By 1845, only the western section from MĂ©tis to Lake Matapedia was completed.

The basic path in the Lake TĂ©miscouata area became increasingly inefficient for the region's growing needs, so the idea for a new road via Lake Matapedia was conceived.
