Laval is the third-largest city in Québec and has more than 440,000 residents. Located north of Montréal, the city is well known for its natural landmarks, such as the Centre de la Nature and the Bois-de-Liesse Natural Park.
However, Laval is much more than a tourist destination. The city is one of the largest economic hubs in Canada and has quite a diversified economy, which includes agriculture, food production, manufacturing companies, biotechnology, information technology and a fast-growing high-tech sector.
