On the banks of the Sangeunay
River, some 200 km (124 mi) north of Quebec
City, lies Chicoutimi. Once a thriving industrial town built on the back of
the regional pulp and paper industry, this watery destination has since evolved
into a diverse urban center. In 1842, Scottish immigrant Peter Macleod founded
the city on the site of an old French fur trading post. Since its conception,
the city has lost its pulp mill status and is now more well-known as somewhat
of a crossroads in the tourist-oriented Sangeunay
Region. It's a prime location for outdoor enthusiasts due to its excellent
ski, snowmobile and hiking areas. In 1996, torrential rains caused the river to
swell, producing terrific floods in area, eventually leading to over a billion
dollars worth in damage. The town has since rebuilt, but the damage, particularity
to the historic paper mills La
Pulperie de Chicoutimi, was most devastating.
