Mont Jacob, Mountain summit in Jonquière, Canada.
Mont Jacob is a summit in Jonquière, Saguenay, rising 187 metres above sea level and about 9 metres above the surrounding terrain, whose base spans roughly 0.56 km. Mixed forest covers its slopes, and the Centre culturel du Mont Jacob was built on the mountain in 1967.
The mountain once operated as a ski center providing winter sports for the area. Over time this use was abandoned and the land transformed into a recreational area for year-round outdoor activities.
Built in 1967, the Centre culturel du Mont Jacob houses the Centre National d'Exposition, the Salle Pierrette-Gaudreault, the Théâtre La Rubique and the Théâtre Cri. These venues host exhibitions and theatre in Jonquière, in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region.
