Découvre comment Saguenay t'en donne plus pour ton temps (et ton argent).
Que tu cherches l’endroit idéal pour poursuivre tes études, relever un nouveau défi professionnel ou simplement changer d’air, Saguenay pourrait bien t’offrir le milieu de vie que tu cherchais.
De toutes les villes où tu pourrais t'établir, Saguenay propose un équilibre rare entre carrière, qualité de vie et accès aux grands espaces. D’ailleurs, près de 500 personnes de plus ont choisi de s’installer au Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean en provenance d’autres régions du Québec en 2024-2025.
Entre une scène culturelle bien vivante, une offre gourmande qui met le terroir à l’honneur et un réseau de transport qui facilite les déplacements, tu passes moins de temps sur la route et plus de temps à profiter de ce qui compte vraiment.
Et quand l’envie de décrocher se fait sentir, la nature n’est jamais loin. Les parcs urbains, les réserves fauniques, les parcs nationaux et le fjord du Saguenay te permettent de t’évader en quelques minutes, en été comme en hiver.

Puisque le coût de la vie y est plus abordable que dans plusieurs grands centres du Québec, tu en as plus pour ton argent et peux profiter d'un équilibre de vie plus riche. Le prix médian d’une maison y est près de la moitié de celui de Montréal, tandis que les loyers demeurent généralement plus accessibles qu’à Québec, Gatineau ou Montréal.
À Saguenay, la journée ne s’arrête pas forcément après le travail ou les cours. La proximité entre la ville, les activités et la nature permet plus facilement de voir des amis, sortir, bouger dehors ou simplement profiter de sa soirée sans avoir à tout planifier autour de longs déplacements.
Pour celles et ceux qui souhaitent y étudier, la ville propose aussi un parcours d’études complet, grâce au Cégep de Jonquière, au Cégep de Chicoutimi, à l’Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, ainsi qu’à plusieurs centres de formation professionnelle et de formation générale des adultes.
Au fond, choisir Saguenay, c’est peut-être moins changer de vie que changer de rythme. Un endroit où tu peux continuer à voir grand tout en profitant d’un quotidien où le temps, la nature et les possibilités prennent toute leur place.

DOERKSON PROMISES LEGISLATION TO ELECTIONS
Interim B.C. Conservatives leader Lorne Doerkson is promising legislation to prevent overlapping provincial and municipal election campaigns if elected.
Doerkson says in a message posted on social media that his party would pass legislation to prohibit a provincial election within 60 days of municipal election dates.
The provincial election called by NDP Leader David Eby will take place one week after municipal elections in B.C. on Oct. 17.
The timing of the snap provincial vote has been criticized by Eby's opponents and the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

CentreBC Leader Elenore Sturko says her party would double the BC Builds program to create 20,000 below-market homes by 2031 if elected.
The plan is part of the party's housing platform released Wednesday morning, calling for standardized provincial housing approvals by January 2028.
The party would also boost the annual renters' tax credit to $600.
Neither Sturko nor OneBC interim leader Dallas Brodie are participating in tonight's televised leaders debate.

One of the Vancouver police officers involved in the violent 2015 arrest of Myles Gray that ended with his death says he never used force beyond what was required to control Gray and never lost control of his emotions.
Const. Eric Birzneck testimony at the hearing into Gray's death has featured him discussing a police form he filled out in the aftermath of the incident, telling his lawyer, Greg Cavouras, that he had never been in a more intense struggle in his career.
The hearing that began in January but has been repeatedly delayed is meant to determine if Birzneck or six other officers intentionally or recklessly used unnecessary force in the altercation with Gray.
Birzneck is the first to testify among the officers, all of whom deny wrongdoing in the incident.
He's told the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner hearing in Vancouver that he filled out the "subject behaviour officer response" report to suggest there was no sign Gray would have co-operated with police.
Birzneck, whose testimony began on Tuesday, says he checked boxes on the form to indicate "pre-assault cues" from Gray, including a "thousand-yard stare," clenched fists, non-compliance and spitting.
He also says Gray displayed "incredible strength" and seemed "impervious to pain."
A police disciplinary process previously determined none of the officers committed misconduct, and no charges have been laid over Gray's death, which a 2023 coroner's inquest ruled was a homicide, a term that does not assign legal blame.
The inquest heard that Gray was left with injuries that included a fractured eye socket, a crushed voice box and ruptured testicles, while a paramedic told the inquest that Gray's bruising was so severe, he initially thought he was not a white man.
At least three of the other officers involved in Gray's deadly arrest are scheduled to testify, including constables Beau Spencer, Nick Thompson and Josh Wong.
