Cowansville is a welcoming, dynamic town offering an exceptional living environment. Situated close to the Cantons-de-l’Est mountains and surrounded by magnificent scenery between Sutton, Lac-Brome, Bromont, Granby and just off the wine route to Dunham, this strategic location provides easy access to major centres while offering the tranquility of a smaller town.

The city is also distinguished by its bilingual character, with over 65% of the population speaking English and French. It also boasts a bilingual student campus with a capacity of 3,000 students. This secondary school is also connected to a professional school offering interesting and varied programming.
