Victoriaville, a great place to live
Halfway between Montreal and Quebec City, Victoriaville, in the administrative region of Centre-du-Québec, enjoys an ideal geographical location.
Often considered as the “cradle of sustainable development” in the province of Quebec, Victoriaville helps preserve the quality of its environment for the future generations.
With the largest population base in the region (over 42000 inhabitants), Victoriaville is a business opportunity of choice for new or developing businesses. The cost of living is far less expensive than in larger centers and the unemployment rate is less than 5%.
It’s always buzzing in Victoriaville! Throughout the year the city hosts a variety of events for all tastes. Several community organizations also contribute to the integration of newcomers. Many cultural and sport activities await you!
Health and education
The CSSS Arthabaska-Érable provides social and healthcare services in five institutions throughout the region while the general and specialized medical care are provided by the hospital Hotel Dieu-Arthabaska.
The Comission Scolaire des Bois-Francs includes several elementary and high schools, an adult education school and a career technical institution known as Vision 2020 as well. Along with the well established Victoriaville College, there is also the EQMBO (the national school of furniture and cabinetry). There are also few private schools and colleges recognized for the quality of their education.
