Alma, Industrial city in Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Canada.
Alma stands at the intersection of the Saguenay River and Lac Saint-Jean, encompassing 194 square kilometers of land with numerous waterways and industrial facilities.
Four separate villages merged in 1962 to create Alma, which developed rapidly after the 1923 construction of the Isle-Maligne hydroelectric station.
French language dominates daily life in Alma, where 98.5 percent of residents communicate in French as their primary method of expression.
The city maintains an airport 4 kilometers to the south, providing regular connections to major urban centers throughout Quebec and beyond.
Alma functions as a departure point for lake excursions and contains the headquarters of the Lac Saint-Jean Est judicial district.
