Regional portrait

Drummondville probably comes to mind if you’ve heard of the poutine’s hometown, the Village Québécois d’Antan or the best destination for a break on highways 20 or 55.

Drummondville is a census metropolitan area that now defines itself more than ever by its business flair, intelligent manufacturing and entrepreneurial drive. It also stands out for its quality of life for the whole family and its cultural and sporting dynamism.

Here, there’s no question of endless traffic jams, long commutes between meetings or high living costs. By working in Drummondville and the surrounding region, you’re choosing to combine quality of life with a great career!
