Three good reasons to settle here.

As proud residents of Québec’s Far West, we are the last ones to see the sunset.

We benefit the most from the thousands of waterways that surround us.

Several jobs to be filled, you can work to make a difference while still looking forward to the weekend.

Make a Difference

Moving into a smaller environment changes one’s perspective. We immediately see the impact our actions have on the vitality of our land. Here, when we spot a problem, we find solutions. Thousands of organizations and festivals were set up by just a handful of citizens and their limitless ingenuity.

Eat Local

Around here, we love to eat, and local products are a big part of our lives. Fresh food abounds in our public markets and in our very own backyards.

Find Your Dream Home

Lovely cottage, house in the middle of town, cabin in the woods or by a lake; the choices are plentiful. And affordable. The average transaction on a single-family home is $118,000 — the lowest in the area.

Not to mention that around here, the neighbours actually say hi.
