Trois-Rivières had been frequented by the Algonquin and Abenaki peoples for millennia, due to its warmer season climes and abundance of food resources. During the summer months, they would spend their time fishing, hunting and foraging for roots and nuts. Fast-forward several centuries, the islands at the confluence of the three rivers are prime locations to enjoy the outdoors and boost numerous trails for hiking and cycling. Today, the city enjoys a thriving economy through its technology sector, supporting the local green economy with wind turbine manufacturing.
