LIVING

The full benefits of living in the wilderness at a stone’s throw from a lively down-town: an unreachable dream? Not in Abitibi-Témiscamingue! Here, there’s no need to spend a million dollars to live on a lakeshore. And if you prefer the bustle of the city, you’ll find enough cultural events, recreational sports or scientific activities to keep your evenings busy, as well as a surprising melting-pot of cultures.

At any rate, this is a place where city and nature often blend together since, wherever you go, you’re sure to find a forest or a lake in less than five minutes. Distances loose their importance, especially when the traffic-free roads offer you a succession of spectacular landscapes.

Abitibi-Témiscamingue is made up of close-knit communities forming the most comfortable, warm and welcoming of quilts you could ever imagine. This proximity, this creativity and this mutual cooperation appears in all facets of life: the end results are, among others, personalised and innovative health services as well as an educational system where creativity goes hand-in-hand with great open-mindedness. Here, it’s easy to feel safe and appreciated, which makes the region an ideal choice to start a family: the massive return of young people is proof enough!

If the stress level is slightly above zero, it’s only because of all the adrenaline rushing through our veins when we feel that we help build a better world, on a human scale.
