Edmundston blends river valley scenery, trail access, and a spirited bilingual culture at the meeting point of the St. John and Madawaska rivers. As the urban centre of Madawaska County within easy reach of Grand Falls, it balances small-city ease with surprising amenities. Residents value efficient services, active recreation programs, and a revitalized core supported by the City of Edmundston, making daily life convenient and community-focused.
Weekends here are built for exploring. Wander the acclaimed New Brunswick Botanical Garden, carve turns at Mont Farlagne, bike the Petit-Témis trail, or set up camp under the stars at Parc de la République. Downtown hums with cafés, microbreweries, and summer festivals like la Foire Brayonne, adding music and Acadian flavour to the calendar.
Education anchors the community. The Université de Moncton, Edmundston campus brings post-secondary programs, research, and cultural life, while the NBCC Edmundston campus adds career-ready training across trades and professions. Families find strong francophone and French immersion options in local schools, and care is close at hand at the Edmundston Regional Hospital. With quick highway connections, walkable neighbourhoods, and four-season outdoor fun on your doorstep, moving to Edmundston means trading long commutes for a lifestyle that’s active, friendly, and authentically bilingual.
