Trois-Rivieres in brief

Trois-Rivières orients to water and a short civic code. Le Nouvelliste still frames the city inside Mauricie, while the municipal home treats 311 as both phone number and service brand. Culture 3R and the Corporation des événements run the arts machinery; Tourisme Trois-Rivières is the visitor face linked from v3r.net. Between Montréal and Québec on the fleuve Saint-Laurent, the Parc portuaire is the open balcony where that geography becomes a walking loop, and FestiVoix plants its Scène du Quai right on the port quay when summer wants a free outdoor stage.

Summer stages stack fast. Amphithéâtre Cogeco is the named confluence showroom on avenue des Draveurs, where the Saint-Maurice meets the Saint-Laurent and Cirque du Soleil residencies share the calendar with touring acts. Culture Trois-Rivières also calls the city the capitale internationale de la poésie around the Festival International de la Poésie, keeps rue des Forges animated on free weekends, and lists Grand Prix race nights beside DansEncore. A navette fluviale on the municipal home keeps river mobility in ordinary speech, not only in tourism copy, which is how locals talk about getting across water without making it a special occasion.

The second water habit is the Saint-Maurice side trip: Maïkan sits minutes from centre-ville, while Les Forges du Saint-Maurice holds the industrial shoreline story. Musée Pop and Île Saint-Quentin cover walkable downtown days when the amphitheatre is dark. Jardins de Niverville and jardins des Ursulines still host free outdoor theatre on the Culture Trois-Rivières list. OpenStats City Score ranks Trois-Rivières 49 of 125 for 2026. Rank aside, hometown voice is dialable and fluvial: 311 for problems, Culture 3R for the calendar, Cogeco and the Parc portuaire when the confluence wants a crowd.

Connectivity · OpenStats

OpenStats Broadband Download Speeds

OpenStats

Cities ranked by estimated best advertised download (Mbps). Anchored to the current ISED National Broadband Data vintage, then backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber-arrival and 50/10 availability paths so relative ranks can change over the decade. Not a claim of audited historical hex maps for every year.

OpenStats Building Permit Value

OpenStats

Cities ranked by calendar-year building permit value. Direct rows sum Statistics Canada Table 34-10-0292-01. Cities without a direct reading use population × provincial per-capita permit intensity (estimated), so every seed city has a year-varying construction signal.

OpenStats City Score

OpenStats

Dimensional average of OpenStats open-data pillars for each panel year 2016–2025: tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, population growth, and crime severity. Each series is scored 0–1 within its edition; series in the same pillar are averaged, then all eight pillars are averaged with equal weight. Missing pillars score at median standing (0.5). Growth and CSI use StatCan annual tables; permits, mill rates, and broadband use live rows plus documented year-varying estimates where needed. Radon, water, and PGA may be survey/model vintages carried forward and are flagged when static for more than two years. External commercial livability lists are never inputs.
