Sept-Rivières—Caniapiscau County stretches from sea to shield, where boreal forest meets the Gulf and iron-rich highlands. Daily life flows through hubs like Sept-Îles, Port-Cartier, and Fermont, each shaped by resource ingenuity and a strong sense of community. The deepwater Port of Sept‑Îles powers global trade in iron ore and other bulk goods, while residents savor the bay’s beaches and the Vieux‑Quai boardwalk. Just inland, the Réserve faunique de Port‑Cartier–Sept‑Îles delivers salmon rivers, canoe routes, and wildlife viewing. Culture pulses year‑round, from the renowned Festival Innu Nikamu in Mani‑utenam to regional stories showcased at the Musée régional de la Côte‑Nord.
Families value practical education pathways. The Cégep de Sept‑Îles offers programs aligned with mining, maritime, and industrial trades, complemented by local public schools overseen by the Centre de services scolaire du Fer. Healthcare is anchored by Hôpital de Sept‑Îles under the CISSS de la Côte‑Nord, providing regional services without the long drive to larger centers. Four distinct seasons shape routines—skiing and snowshoeing in winter, berry picking and coastal picnics in summer—while clear nights can reveal northern lights farther inland.
