Asbestos (Val-des-Sources)

The Long Way Home reference: Mentioned by Julie Foucault.

Real world location: The town of Asbestos, Quebec is now known as Val-des-Sources. It is located on the Nicolet River in the Estrie (Eastern Townships) region of southeastern Quebec, Canada. Due to the negative connotations of the name Asbestos, the municipality had a referendum in 2020 and changed its name to Val-des-Sources.

The town is near to the site of the Jeffrey mine, which used to be the world's largest asbestos mine, which was once the town's largest employer.
