La Haute-Yamaska County blends lively town centers with green spaces and lakes. In Granby, family days often start at the Zoo de Granby, while weekends spill onto the beaches and trails of Parc national de la Yamaska. Cyclists trace the smooth L’Estriade between Waterloo and Bromont, and birders cross the boardwalks at the Centre d’interprétation de la nature du lac Boivin. Hikers point their compasses toward Shefford for quiet forested climbs and wide valley views, then catch a show at the Palace de Granby.
Education anchors the community: the Centre de services scolaire du Val-des-Cerfs runs French public schools across the county, while the Cégep de Granby offers popular pre‑university and technical programs. Health care is close at hand at the Hôpital de Granby.
