Maritime Quebec

[2] Residents of Maritime Quebec are known for making cipaille during the Holidays and for incorporating more fish and seafood into their diets.

Gaspesia’s largest city is Matane and most Gaspesians are of French-Canadian, Amerindian, Acadian, British and/or Irish descent.

[4] It is also home to the Baie des Chaleurs, popular for fishing, and the Miguasha National Park, protected for its richness in fossils.

This region is dominated by the Appalachian Mountains except on its northern shore, and its largest city is Rimouski.

[7] Its main industry is tourism, though there is also economic activity in mariculture and scientific research related to the Magdalen Islands’ insular ecosystem.

[9] This vast region comprises hundreds of kilometers of boreal forest to the north and a coast on the Gulf of St.Lawrence to the south.
