Key Facts

Nord-du-Québec is the largest and northernmost administrative region of Quebec, Canada, encompassing nearly half of Quebec's total land area. Located in the northern part of the province, it stretches from the 49th parallel northward to the Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, bordering Hudson Bay to the west and Labrador to the east. With an immense area of approximately 839,000 square kilometers (324,000 square miles) but a population of only around 45,000 people, it is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Canada. The region is divided into three distinct territories: the Jamésie in the southwest, Eeyou Istchee in the central area (the traditional territory of the Cree Nation), and Nunavik in the far north (the Inuit homeland). This vast territory contains diverse landscapes ranging from boreal forest in the south to arctic tundra in the north, with significant mineral resources including gold, nickel, and diamonds. The region's administrative center is the city of Chibougamau, though much of the population lives in remote Indigenous communities accessible primarily by air. Nord-du-Québec plays a crucial role in Quebec's resource economy while maintaining strong Indigenous cultural traditions. For comprehensive postal code information covering its municipalities and remote communities, detailed regional data is essential for accurate addressing across this expansive territory.
