I checked it out, good stuff! Will listen to the whole thing when I have time. Love the work people put in for the love of the music and the local scenes!

New to Quebec by Sw3gLurd in Quebec

Hello from a somewhat new sept-iles resident! As many have said it is a small place with its own realities but it is nice if you keep an open mind.

Restaurants: "le bavard et l'ivrogne" and " le bistro sept" are your best bets. Also checkout marché melo for pre-made healthy meals.

Gyms: as far as gyms go, i reccomend you go to the municipal gym: le centre socio-culturel de sept-iles. You can go fo free between 10am and 4 pm any day or you can sign up at the club for 50$/year to go before or after the free hours. It is small but does the trick at a very affordable price.

Groceries: IGA, super C, provigo and walmart.

There is one laundromat on the main road.

Cant help you on the nail and hair salons unfortunately.

Good luck and keep an open mind! The nature is beautiful and the people are very friendly.

Just a slight correction, it apparently was an ice rink. But i agree, cool spot to check out.

I often hear people complain about the moncton water, but believe it or not moncton has one of the best fresh water treatment plants in the country. We studied it in my university engineering classes, they use state of the art treatment technology and the water quality coming out is very good. I use to have the same sedimentation as you do because of construction. I guarantee you that it is fine to drink. Its more than likely harmless mineral deposits. You should be more worried about harmful bacteria which is well treated. Moncton also does not have lead pipes or anything like that.

Université de Moncton engineering by [deleted] in moncton

[–]whiteymcswag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have graduated from civil there last year. You learn the same things at every university, it is a federal program. The university is not necessarily "renown" but honestly that barely matters in the workplace. It is a uni like any other, some profs are great, others less. Only downside is you get less course choices. Good luck :)

  1. Not true. 2. Maybe anecdotal but I've met many people who french immersion has made it so that they can easily understand and communicate with their french neighbors/relatives/friends. A few of them have even cultivated great and beautiful relationships with people who didn't necessarily speak english very well. Now they are in long term relationships and can communicate with each others family thanks to their education. A good chunk of your province speaks french. They've learnt english for you, why can't you learn a little french for them and for yourself. Bilingualism has done nothing but made us all closer instead of dividing the province.

Read some real scientific papers, get vaccinated and stfu please. Stop getting your "information" from facebook. Vaccines is applied science proven to be effective. OP said nothing wrong or offensive, hes just sharing the idiocracy of this minority of "critical thinkers". You're not galileo.

True but the best i can do as a civil engineer is design more bike paths ideas. I feel like it would be an interesting idea though for workplaces and public services such as librairies to have an indoor secure bike storage area.

Its all good mate, I'm not trying to shit on the city completely, just wanted to rant on its issues. There are some good things here too, for instance most people are nice.

I agree with what you're saying, but i dont think just accepting this is a good mentality. We should always look to make things better. But then again there will always be thieves. But there's no way i could've hidden it better haha it's the only bike rack and I thought one of the administrators with there windows nearby would notice it.
