Chicoutimi-Nord

Chicoutimi-Nord is an administrative sector in Saguenay located on the northern bank of the Saguenay River with established neighborhoods and local shops. The area displays a typical urban layout with functional public spaces and regularly distributed housing and street patterns.

The area was originally known as Sainte-Anne de Chicoutimi and merged with Chicoutimi in 1976 before becoming part of the larger Saguenay municipality in 2002. These administrative changes continue to shape the identity and structure of the neighborhood.

The neighborhood preserves Quebec traditions through local events and community gatherings that celebrate French-Canadian heritage throughout the year. These cultural practices shape daily life and create a strong sense of belonging among residents.

When exploring the sector, you will find easy orientation through clearly marked streets and available public services nearby. The area is relatively flat and therefore accessible on foot, making exploration possible without special preparation.

The neighborhood offers direct access to the Saguenay River where cargo ships navigate through deep waters year-round, and you can watch them pass. This maritime activity is part of everyday life for many residents and shapes the appearance of the riverfront.
