Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ bʁyno də ɡiɡ]), often shortened to Guigues, is a municipality in northwestern Quebec, Canada, in the Témiscamingue Regional County Municipality.
In addition to the main namesake population centre, the municipality also includes the hamlet of Pointe-Piché, located on the shores of Lake Timiskaming.
[4] The area was originally inhabited by Algonquin people, who had discovered a lead mine as early as the 17th century.
The mine was not exploited however until circa 1850, when it was rediscovered and noted for its high silver content.
The following year, 20 families lived in Guigues Township, which grew to 300 by 1897.
