Estrie (French pronunciation: [ɛstʁi]) is an administrative region of Quebec that comprises the Eastern Townships.
Estrie, a French neologism, was coined as a derivative of est, "east".
In 2021, La Haute-Yamaska & Brome-Missisquoi joined Estrie, transferring from Montérégie.
While the economy of the area is mainly based on agriculture, forestry, and mining,[5] tourist attractions include four Sépaq parks: Yamaska, Mont-Orford, Frontenac, and Mont-Mégantic,[6] ski resorts at Mont Brome and Mont Orford, and agritourism.
Estrie has a majority European population but it does have a diverse group of minorities.
