 | | Located some 420 km east of Quebec City, the Manicouagan Regional Municipal County (MRC) is at the heart of the North Shore, a 1,200 km stretch of rocky coast extending from Tadoussac to the southern limits of Labrador. |
 | | Nine localities on the Saint Lawrence River are included in the Manicouagan MRC : Baie-Trinité, Godbout, Franquelin, Baie-Comeau, Pointe-Lebel, Pointe-aux-Outardes, Chute-aux-Outardes, Ragueneau and the aboriginal community of Betsiamites. |
 | | By way of its natural resources, with its rivers, forests, lakes and immediate access to the Saint Lawrence River, the Baie-Comeau region has become an important industrial centre, where major companies are established in the wood, newsprint, aluminium, hydroelectric and grain storage sectors. |
