Roberval CRC

The Roberval Community Residential Center opened its doors in 1981 following the initiative of a group of citizens of Roberval who cared about the fate of people in the criminal justice system.

Located on the edge of Lac St-Jean, close to downtown and public services, CRC Roberval can accommodate twenty-five (25) residents.

The assistance and supervision offered to CRC Roberval are aimed at giving our court clients as many tools as possible in order to promote social reintegration.
