A quiet Quebec town is getting ready to welcome some of the world鈥檚 most high-profile leaders next week, but some residents fear the beefed-up security is going to make everyday life a challenge.

La Malbaie, Que., located about 140 kilometres northeast of Quebec City and along the St. Lawrence River, has undergone a transformation ahead of the at the from June 8-9.

Both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Donald Trump are expected to be in attendance, along with leaders from the U.K., France, Germany, Japan and Italy.

In preparation for the two-day summit, fences, video cameras and security check points have been installed throughout the town. Armed officers are expected to patrol the area once it gets underway.

A team of RCMP community relations officers has been brought in to answer any questions and concerns the residents might have.

鈥淭hey wanted to leave the region,鈥� Cpl. Isabelle Michaud, one of the community relations officers, told CTV Montreal. 鈥淭hey've never had such an event.鈥�

Michaud says while the summit is expected to impact the daily lives of residents, it doesn鈥檛 mean they won鈥檛 be able to go about their business as usual, provided they have the proper accreditation to get through the security checkpoints.

鈥淭hey can drive. They're going to be able to go anywhere, whenever they want,鈥� Michaud said. 鈥淭here's no curfew.鈥�

Some residents, including Rosaire Tremblay, aren鈥檛 as worried about the impact to their lives and are more focused on the exposure an event like the G7 can bring to the area.

鈥淚f it can give La Malbaie some visibility, it's extraordinary,鈥� he said through a translator. 鈥淚t's a beautiful place.鈥�

Tremblay lives in the 鈥渞ed zone,鈥� an area closest to Le Manoir Richelieu and under the most intense security.

He doesn鈥檛 mind, however. He instead jokes that for the next couple weeks, he鈥檚 鈥渃onvinced鈥� his home is the safest in the country.

La Malbaie Mayor Michel Couturier also sees the exposure and economic benefit that the G7 brings to his community.

鈥淲e don't have the opportunity very often to speak with people from everywhere around the world,鈥� he said.
