About Val-des-Sources
The town
Val-des-Sources had about 7,090 people in 2021, up 4.5% from 2016, on about 30 km² of land; it is the seat of the MRC des Sources (about 14,600 people). The town grew around the Jeffrey mine: chrysotile asbestos was found in 1879, mining began in 1881, and the open pit reached about 350 m deep before the mine closed in 2012. A five-month miners' strike here and in Thetford Mines in 1949 is a landmark in Quebec's labour history. The town was called Asbestos until December 17, 2020, when the name chosen by residents' vote took effect. The Hôpital d'Asbestos has an emergency department. The town's Service inspection et environnement issues building permits, under bylaws that must conform to the MRC's land-use plan.
Around it
About 81% of the MRC lies in the permanent agricultural zone, and productive forest covers about two-thirds of it. The area forms most of the headwaters of the Nicolet River. Mine tailings cover about 7.5 km² of the MRC, and mining titles covered about 27% of the town's territory in 2023. A bridge, culvert or ford over a watercourse needs a permit under the MRC's watercourse bylaw. In the agricultural zone, a house generally needs CPTAQ authorization unless an exception applies, such as a farm residence or a vacant property of 100 ha or more. Routes 116 and 255 are the main roads; no autoroute crosses the MRC. Scheduled flights leave from Montréal-Trudeau.
