Description

The Cité des Jeunes A.-M.-Sormany (CDJ) is the biggest high school in Northwestern New Brunswick, where 99% of the population is French speaking. It is located in Edmundston, a city of more than 20 000 residents, where the state of Maine is just across the river and the province of Quebec is less than 20 km away. Forestry is one of the area’s major industries.

If you like skiing, snowboarding or other winter activities, this is the place to be. The Mont Farlagne ski hill is within city limits, and there are many cross-country skiing and skidoo trails. The city also has a modern sports complex, bicycle and walking trails, as well as several indoor arenas and outdoor skating rinks. Edmundston is host to many cultural activities, including an annual Jazz & Blues Festival, concerts and performances featuring theatre, dance and music of every genre. Adding to school activities, the community itself offers competitive figure skating opportunities, skiing, snowboarding and climbing clubs.
