This makes it easy for residents to enjoy the cultural events, world-class restaurants and professional opportunities that the metropolitan area has to offer.

The Lower Laurentians extend north from the Mille-Îles River to the beginning of the mountains south of the Laurentian Shield. The fertile soils of the St. Lawrence plain have supported dynamic agricultural activity. However, with urban sprawl, residential neighborhoods and industrial parks are increasingly nibbling away at agricultural areas. The transportation equipment manufacturing sector is booming, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are multiplying. The population is close to 165,000, spread over 211,707 km2.
