Here’s the article that inspired me to create the website habiter en région: Should villages close?
No, no and no!
I think I am in a position to speak on that. I am a former resident of the town, and it is precisely because I have lived in the town and know the reasons why I wanted to leave it that I say loud and clear that I do not agree at all with Mr Bernier, who did have figures, but those figures cannot predict the future, which is never set in stone.
It is simply common sense that requires us to believe that he is wrong in his predictions, because, as far as I know, he is not a fortune teller.
Many of the town’s residents dreamed of only one thing when Mr. Bernier wrote this article: leaving town. As evidence of what happened to his numbers when the global pandemic COVID-19 caused a meteoric rise in telecommuting in 2019 and gave all those city dwellers the opportunity to say « goodbye » to major urban centers, living in the city is not everyone’s dream!
Have Mr. Bernier’s numbers melted like snow in the sun since then? I would say so.
This expert is not in the minds of hundreds of thousands of city dwellers who want to live simply and regionally. Reconnecting with nature and slowing down their pace of life by working from home, as self-employed or remotely, is the ideal solution to offer at your symposiums to counteract the devitalisation of the regions.
However, I think that, in time, devitalisation will affect the centres of large cities, as more and more young people, families with young children, self-employed workers, teleworkers and young pensioners dream of moving to the regions.
For workers who want to relocate to the region and opt for telecommuting, you’ll be happy to know that Saint-Magloire is the right place to offer you this telecommuting option, whether it’s 100% telecommuting or in hybrid mode (telecommuting and face-to-face work), because when you move to Saint-Magloire, you’re only 1 hour and 15 minutes from the bridges of Quebec City. It’s not about driving in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 1 hour, it’s about driving without traffic, on a charming road.
For my part, it was the fact that I am self-employed that allowed me to move to the region in 2018 and choose Saint-Magloire for its high-speed fibre-optic internet network, which has yet to be built. I visited a few houses, but in some villages high-speed internet at home was poorly available.
Telecommuting has become a reality for many workers, offering the opportunity to work remotely from anywhere.
Here’s one vendor who understands the potential of Saint Magloire for people who want to telework:
Country house for sale in Saint Magloire
Quote from the description of the farmhouse for sale:
Description of the offer
Beautiful farmhouse on 20 hectares of land! Many major renovations have been made to the house and beautiful improvements to the barn. Several stalls for horses and a new 2nd story in the barn. Ideal for horse owners, chicken owners and remote workers. (46721627)
In the past I have done many ads for Nancy Ockler in the Village of Saint Magloire, but I see that she has not taken advantage of the telecommuting opportunity in her sales descriptions of homes for sale in Saint Magloire.
From now on, I urge you to choose the services of the following seller instead, as I believe that with him you will have a better chance of selling your home in Saint Magloire, as he is the first seller in Quebec City who does not underestimate the strong potential of the municipality of Saint Magloire, which, due to its dynamism, is proving to be the ideal municipality to welcome workers from all sectors of activity that allow telecommuting.
As far as I know, he is the first vendor from the town to have understood the opportunity that teleworking represents for the commune of Saint Magloire, or at least to have presented teleworking as a promising economic lever for this charming Alpine village.
Hello, people! Turn to this provider if you’re interested in attracting new talent to Saint Magloire. There are many families whose parents work remotely and dream of a commune like Saint Magloire to raise their children.
They mistakenly think they will be cut off from the rest of the world at 700 metres above sea level, but in Saint-Magloire we are lucky enough to have fibre optics!
Sogetel really rolled out their fibre network 1 year after I arrived in Saint Magloire, in 2019, and it’s great! I can work from home without any network delays or outages thanks to the fiber network. As a web developer (creating websites), I need high speed internet with no slowdowns or outages. Service and performance are top notch at Sogetel.
Saint Magloire is well served by high speed internet at home and fortunately because in 2024 I consider it an essential service.
Here’s the seller:
Introducing
Here are the benefits of telecommuting for those planning to move to the region.
Regions typically offer a lower cost of living compared to major cities. By relocating to a region, employees can take advantage of these savings while working remotely. Savings on housing, transportation and daily expenses can be significant.
Working remotely allows for greater flexibility of working hours. Employees can organise their working day according to their personal needs, which can help achieve work-life balance. Working from home means less time lost to travel and more time for yourself.
Living in the region can stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit. The larger area and local community can encourage people to start their own businesses or develop personal projects. Whether it’s working remotely as a virtual administrative assistant, setting up a farm, an online boutique or a craft workshop, the opportunities are numerous.
Telecommuting gives rural workers access to a wider range of professional opportunities while staying close to home. They are no longer limited by the geographical proximity of the office. This can be particularly advantageous for people who are far from major urban centres.
In the regions it is often possible to buy property at a reasonable price. For those looking to move to the region, this can be a great advantage. Owning your own home or land becomes more affordable, which can improve quality of life and financial stability.
However, it is essential to consider the availability of a reliable internet connection. According to one survey, 67% of respondents said that the quality of their internet connection would be a key factor when considering a move to a new region. If internet service is not available, this may limit the ability to telework.
