该 纽约时报 最近的特点是 房子出售 near the village of 伟达 在魁北克地区被称为 东部小镇.

据 时报 文章, “The housing stock in the Eastern Townships is mostly old farms that have been converted to weekend estates or small hobby farms….The area is popular as a second-home destination with New Englanders.”

Here’s an introduction to the Eastern Townships from my book, 留学加拿大生活:

蒙特利尔东, along the border with Vermont, 东部乡镇 (Les Cantons de l’Est) 感觉像新英格兰, 其连绵起伏的丘陵, quaint villages, 奶牛场, and family-friendly ski resorts, but they’re definitely francophone. And if you’re partial to good wines, hearty bistro cooking, 和当地的奶酪, this francophone influence is a good thing.

…The Eastern Townships’ largest city is 舍布鲁克, 关于 150 公里 (95 英里) 蒙特利尔东部沿高速公路 10. 否则, the communities here, 包括 玛, 伟达, å’Œ 萨顿, 相当小.

If you’re considering life in the Eastern Townships, an excellent English-language resource is the Townshippers’ Association, which provides links to a wide range of information and services across the region.

在东部乡镇寻找工作? 退房 招聘链接就业 & 职业辅导中心 (在Sherbrooke和在线). It offers a range of resources for English-speakers who are job-hunting in the Townships.

好运!
