Terrebonne, in the MRC Les Moulins
According to Statistics Canada's 2021 Census, Terrebonne had 119,944 residents. The Lanaudière profile published by the Government of Québec (in French) lists Terrebonne among the region's main municipalities, along with Repentigny, Mascouche, L'Assomption and Joliette.
The census also documents commuting: of the 43,585 employed Terrebonne residents with a usual place of work, 12,955 worked in Terrebonne and 28,475 in another Québec census division. If some of your staff work away from your premises, mention it: the choice of laptops, access and licences takes this into account.
At the City, the Direction du développement économique (in French) has, according to the City, the mission of creating an environment favourable to economic development across the city's territory, stimulating the growth of key sectors and encouraging job-creating businesses to set up. Its Economic development page (in French) presents it as a one-stop service and lists the spheres of activity open to investors, including industrial, commercial, agricultural, tourism and institutional. The City also describes Tera8 there as an ecological economic space for Terrebonne's 8th industrial hub.
At the MRC Les Moulins (in French), the Service de développement économique, projets structurants et services aux entreprises presents itself as the official entry point for entrepreneurs in Terrebonne and Mascouche, as a member of Réseau Accès PME. Its business support page (in French) states that it supports businesses in the industrial parks and across the territory in their growth, financing and innovation projects, and mentions among other things digital transformation as well as workforce and productivity.
The Chambre de commerce et d'industrie Les Moulins (in French) brings together and supports businesses in Terrebonne and Mascouche. Its mission is to bring together, connect, inform, inspire and represent businesspeople in order to create economic momentum in the MRC Les Moulins. Formed by the merger of the Terrebonne and Mascouche chambers in 2013, it notes that the Chambre de commerce de Terrebonne was founded in 1935.
Replacing workstations also means deciding what happens to the old devices. Their drives may hold personal information about your customers or employees, which Law 25 requires you to protect throughout its life cycle, up to its destruction; our Law 25 guide sums up the principles. Courtier TI is not affiliated with the City, the MRC or the Chamber: describe your project at courtierti.com; the team will contact you.

Sample project (fictional scenario)
An industrial SMB that would like to renew its computers and licences
The MRC Les Moulins business support service (in French) serves, among others, businesses in the territory's industrial parks. Imagine an industrial SMB with about thirty employees, several of whose computers would be reaching end of life, with software licences bought over the years and no up-to-date inventory. It would like to replace its office and production workstations and get a clear picture of its subscriptions. The Courtier TI team would first contact it to clarify the request: number and age of devices, software used on each workstation, Microsoft 365 licences in place, laptops needed for mobile staff, installation requiring the IT services firm to work in person. The request would then be assigned to the IT services firm whose expertise matches the project. Its quote could include an inventory of workstations and licences, model selection, device preparation and installation, data transfer, secure wiping of old drives and a licence register. If the SMB accepted the quote, the IT services firm would carry out the mandate.
This scenario is fictional and for illustration only.
