Geography

Lebel-sur-Quévillon is located in the north-east of Senneterre and {{convert|151|km}}. It is accessed by route 113 which links Lac Saint-Jean to Abitibi via Chapais and Chibougamau.

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 Baie-James (municipality). The village is located on a peninsula at the southwest of Quevillon Lake. This lake of {{convert|12.6|km}} in length resembles a heart. Lake Quévillon is mainly supplied by the Wilson River (Quevillon Lake), which empties on the north-east shore of the lake.

Toponymy

The name "Lebel" is in honor of Jean-Baptiste Lebel, a forestry contractor, born in 1887 and died in 1966 who worked for years to set up a paper mill in The north of the province. The lake gives the second part of its name to the city. Lac Quévillon is named in honor of Louis-Amable Quévillon (1749-1823), an architect and sculptor of religious objects.[2].

History

The "city of Lebel-sur-Quévillon" is constituted from unorganized territories.[3]. The town, built on the Quevillon Lake Peninsula, was erected to accommodate employees of the Dominion Tar Pulp and Chemical Plant (Domtar). At the end of August 1966, the first inhabitants arrived in the future village which according to the first plans had to count in 5 years. In 1971, the population reached 3000 inhabitants and 4300 with the surrounding villages. In 1974, Domtar installs a sawmill close to its pulp mill. A new neighborhood is created but the population will reach only the neighborhoods. The city is a mono-industrial place that survives thanks to the well-paid jobs of the company Domtar. It therefore becomes sensitive to any labor dispute. In 1975, a 6-month strike was carried out at Domtar, followed by a forestry strike at Domtar in 1977. In June 1984 and May 1985, a strike in the plant paralyzed the whole town. In 1988, a 4-month strike began at the beginning of the year. Start of a 16-year period without conflict between employer and employees. In 1994: significant investment in Domtar and opening of the Langlois mine by Canadian company Cambior. Creation of new district in the city.

In 2000, the Langlois mine was sold to Breakwater Resources ltd. Domtar is locked out of its Lebel-sur-Quévillon kraft paper plant and its sawmill[4]. Since the closure of the plant, a significant emigration is noted among the inhabitants of the town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon.[5]. On December 18, 2008, the Domtar pulp mill was permanently closed. In the same year, on November 2, the Langlois mine was temporarily shut down due to the fall in the price of zinc.

In February 2010, the Langlois mine reopens. In the summer of 2011, the company Breakwater was bought by Nyrstar. January 31, 2012: announcement of the purchase of the former Domtar plant by Fortress Paper. The plant will produce pulp that will be used to make clothing, from rayon, a growing market around the world to replace cotton. The re-opening of the plant will create 333 direct jobs and 400 indirect jobs.
