Lebel-sur-Quévillon (French pronunciation: [ləbɛl syʁ kevijɔ̃]) is a city in the Canadian province of Quebec, located on Route 113 in the Jamésie region.

Located on the southern edge of the administrative region of Nord-du-Quebec, the village of Lebel-sur-Quévillon is enclosed entirely by Eeyou Istchee James Bay.

A new employer began in 1994 c30 km away: the Langlois zinc and copper mine operated by Canadian company Cambior.

Domtar suspended kraft paper operations on 24 November 2005 citing declining profits, employees were locked out of the plant, and the announcement of its final closure was made on December 18, 2008.

[9] On January 31, 2012 the former Domtar plant was bought by Fortress Paper to produce cellulose used in clothing, a growing market around the world to replace cotton.

[11] Commentators report a feeling among the remaining population that the town had a 'golden age' when Domtar was in peak operations from ther 1980s to the early 2000s, with a sense of 'abandonment' thereafter [12] [13] In 2001, the average income of a household in Quévillon was just over C$70,000 compared to $49,998 for the whole Province.

[14] The subsequent loss of industrial jobs led to high mortality, emigration, and cuts to basic services as well as efforts to seek other employment.

Efforts to revitalise the town include the establishment of CKCJ-FM, Lebel-sur-Quévillon's first local community radio station, launched in 2018.

[15] In addition, economic diversification has involved attracting tourism, rebranding the town under a Visages régionaux brand, aided by publicity.
