Chibougamau is a town in central Quebec, Canada, located on Lake Gilman. It has a population of 7,563 people (Canada 2006 Census), which makes it the largest community in northern Quebec. Because of its remoteness from the Lac Saint-Jean area (over 200 km south-east) and from the Abitibi-Témiscamingue area (over 250 km south-west), it serves as the centre of services for the few small communities surrounding it (Mistissini and Chapais) and for the regional resource-based industries.
