Chicoutimi—Le Fjord (formerly known as Chicoutimi) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1925. The riding consists of the northern part of the Chicoutimi borough of Saguenay, as well as the La Baie borough and the municipalities of Ferland-et-Boilleau, L'Anse-Saint-Jean, Petit-Saguenay, Rivière-Éternité and Saint-Félix-d'Otis and the unorganized territory of Lalemant.

It was created as "Chicoutimi" riding in 1924 from Chicoutimi—Saguenay. It was renamed "Chicoutimi—Le Fjord" in 2000.

The neighbouring ridings are Manicouagan, Beauport—Côte-de-Beaupré—Île d'Orléans—Charlevoix, and Jonquière.

Richard Martel won the 2018 by-election.

Geography

[edit]

The riding has always been centred on the city (now borough) of Chicoutimi, Quebec. When it was created, the riding consisted of Chicoutimi County until 1947, when the western half of the riding became the new riding of Lapointe. The 1976 redistribution removed all of the riding's territory north of the Saguenay River. This territory was added back to the riding in the 2003 redistribution. This riding lost some territory to Jonquière during the 2012 electoral redistribution, including much of the area north of the Saguenay River again.
