At the frontier of the 50th parallel, Sept-Iles is located in the middle of the vast region of Duplessis, on the North Shore, in an environment where the pleasures of sea and forest adventure combine harmoniously to the realities of a modern town open to the world.
Modern urban agglomeration, Sept-Iles is known for its warm population and a heavenly environment. The citizens benefit from a complete range of social, cultural, recreational and sports activities that allowed some people to develop their talents and to have distinguished careers. The cultural, museum and sports equipment are renowned as well as a few major events including the North Shore book fair and the Film Festival which show the openness of Sept-Iles’s population to the rest of the world.
An attractive and safe town, Sept-Iles has a health and social services integrated centre (CISSS-Point de service Sept-Îles) serving a regional population of 57,000 people, formed of a hospital, and a long-term care facility (CHSLD Sept-Îles - Residence Gustave-Gauvreau).
