Two cultures, one city

The city of Sept-Îles brings two great cultures together: the First Nations of North America (indigenous) and the European colonizers (non-indigenous).


Most residents of European descent speak French, but Sept-Îles is also home to an English-speaking community that benefits from a wide range of services in their mother tongue, especially in the field of education.

The members of the Innu community of Uashat mak Mani-Utenam make up almost the entire Aboriginal population of Sept-Îles. They belong to a Canadian First Nation of about 18,000 people inhabiting the Labrador region and the North Shore of Québec. Most Innu are bilingual: they speak Innu Aimun as their mother tongue and also speak either French or English as a second language.


In the course of its history, Sept-Îles has developed a multicultural identity based on hospitality and openness to diversity. It comes as no surprise that the city is now a destination of choice on the North Shore.
