\u201cRouyn-Noranda is a place where everything is possible. The people who live here are so energetic and creative that their projects or events are larger than life!<\/p>\n
The thing I love most about this region is that you\u2019re never far from nature<\/a>. You can live in the middle of a bustling urban centre or be surrounded by 10,000 people at a festival and then, 10 minutes later, you\u2019re on a beach<\/a> feeling like you\u2019re alone in the world!<\/p>\n One of Rouyn-Noranda\u2019s attractions are its year-round cultural and sporting events, many of which are perfect for families. I love that, because enjoying these activities with my daughter helps me see my region with fresh eyes. When I walk by the \u00c9glise orthodoxe russe<\/a> with her, I am amazed all over again at what immigrants built here. I love it when we come across a colourful outdoor wall mural when strolling through the city. Or, I enjoy plunging into the city’s history with her, lingering over the artefacts and photos on display at the Magasin g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Dumulon<\/a>. We often go to the MA. It\u2019s a real family-oriented art museum, with high-quality exhibitions, works by international artists, and activities like A Night at the Museum.<\/p>\n I think the reason the city is so dynamic and provides so many opportunities for the next generation, is because it’s a young city. It was founded scarcely a hundred years ago. That’s also the reason why there are such creative projects in the works, across all sectors!\u201d<\/p>\n
