About Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean
The area
Quebec's administrative region 02 lies north of Quebec City, around Lac Saint-Jean and the Saguenay River, which drains the lake and runs east through a fjord. Its census divisions cover about 95,500 km² of land and had about 275,600 people in 2021. It is boreal country reaching north to the 53rd parallel; farms, on about 4% of the land, sit mainly around the lake and the fjord. The city of Saguenay (about 144,700 in 2021, made up of the Chicoutimi, Jonquière and La Baie districts) has its own land use plan, as an MRC would. The four MRCs are Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Lac-Saint-Jean-Est (Alma, about 30,300), Le Domaine-du-Roy (Saint-Félicien, about 10,100, and Roberval, about 9,800) and Maria-Chapdelaine (Dolbeau-Mistassini, about 13,700).
History
This is Nitassinan, the territory of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh, an Innu (Ilnu) First Nation whose community, Mashteuiatsh, is on the lake they call Pekuakami (about 2,000 people in 2021). Settlement opened up after 1838, when 21 partners from La Malbaie in Charlevoix started logging and clearing land at La Grande Baie and L'Anse-Saint-Jean. In 1926 the Aluminium Company of Canada founded the town of Arvida to use cheap hydroelectric power from the Saguenay, and by the 1940s it ran the world's largest aluminium smelter.
Services and access
Santé Québec runs hospitals in Chicoutimi, Jonquière, La Baie, Alma, Roberval and Dolbeau-Mistassini; all but La Baie also do emergency surgery around the clock. Route 175 is the main road link, running south to Quebec City; Route 169 circles the lake, and Routes 170 and 172 follow the south and north sides of the Saguenay. Saguenay-Bagotville Airport, 13 km from Chicoutimi, has daily Air Canada flights to Montréal. Health care and retail employ the most people; aluminium is a mainstay, and the region has more forestry workers than any other in Quebec.
Land and climate
The agricultural zone covers about 400,000 hectares, and about 54% of it is farmed by 1,148 farms. Milk brings in about 38% of farm sales, then vegetables and fruit. The region leads Quebec in organic crop and pasture land (nearly 24,000 hectares) and leads Canada in blueberries. Late spring and early autumn frosts limit crops.
Before you buy
The local municipality issues building permits and sets zoning, and its bylaws must conform to the MRC's land use plan (schéma d'aménagement); in Saguenay the city does both. Land in the agricultural zone falls under the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec (CPTAQ), which sets conditions for building a house there. For lots on a lake or river, check the province's flood-zone map and ask the municipality or MRC about shoreline rules. The province has mapped landslide-prone zones in the region's loose soil deposits where building rules apply; ask the municipality whether a lot is in one.
