An unavoidable crossroads

Because of its recent history and close proximity to Ontario, Val-d’Or has always rubbed shoulders with the English-speaking populations of Ontario and understands well the social and economic realities, as well as the entrepreneurial culture, of its Ontario neighbours.

As a consequence, many transport-trucking firms, forestry companies, and businesses involved in the mining industry, travel on a daily basis to Ontario; this is in addition to the many different service-sector companies which conduct business with Ontario on an ongoing basis.

You will become keenly aware that the large number of bilingual citizens of Val-d’Or is also a definite asset with regards to the welcome and the support necessary for the establishment of out-of-town businesses here.
