In Shawinigan, quality of life is in our nature!

With a surface area of over 800 km2 of rural and urban territory, Shawinigan is a crossroads where countless opportunities for economic success and a serene living environment with all the services and activities conducive to family development come together.

Located 90 minutes from Montreal and Quebec City, Shawinigan offers all the advantages of large cities. Bordered by the majestic Saint-Maurice River, it offers the peace and quiet of a suburb and the wide open spaces of the countryside and forests. The Mauricie National Park is located here. Considered a true Canadian jewel of ecological and wildlife preservation, it is an international tourist attraction.
The Grand-Mère Marina offers 99 berths, 89 for its members and 10 for visitors. It is part of a recreational and tourist complex that also includes the Parc des Papetiers and its observation tower, as well as a promenade that offers an exceptional view of two heritage sites: a suspension bridge (1928) and the Grand-Mère hydroelectric power station (1916). As a nod to the paper industry, traces of a rich industrial past have been integrated into the architectural ensemble.
