In July 2007, the residents of Lac-Fouillac overwhelmingly rejected the amalgamation of their territory with the City of Malartic. 96% of voters voted against annexation in a referendum. But two years later on August 29, 2009, Lac-Fouillac, together with the western portion of the Unorganized Territory of Lac-Granet, was merged into the Municipality of Rivière-Héva.[3]
