Rimouski, a major destination

With a population of some 50,000, Rimouski is the main urban centre east of Quebec City. Stretching along the St. Lawrence River for nearly 55 km, from the Le Bic district in the west to the Pointe-au-Père district in the east, Rimouski offers an exceptional natural setting combined with the assets of a large city. Regional service centre, entrepreneurial city in tune with the knowledge economy, university city, economic, social and cultural metropolis, that is what Rimouski, the capital of the Lower St. Lawrence region, is all about. A human-sized capital that is safe, welcoming, open to the world and caring for the environment. That’s why holding your convention or event in Rimouski is the best choice to make!

An accessible city

Three hours east of Quebec City, Rimouski is easily accessible by Highway 20 and Route 132. Approximately 30 km from Rimouski, the Mont-Joli regional airport is served by daily flights to and from major centers. Less than 3 km from downtown, Rimouski airport is a service point for business flights.

Many hotels, including the convention center, are located downtown within walking distance of each other, favoring active transportation, two steps away from the St. Lawrence River. Your participants will love it! Whether for a morning jog, an energizing walk after lunch or to admire the sunset, enjoy this 4.3 km long boardwalk in the heart of the city. Rimouski offers the perfect combination of an urban lifestyle…by the sea!
