Chicoutimi

Chicoutimi is a borough of Ville Saguenay, located in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region in Quebec, Canada.

Since 2002, Chicoutimi and the neighbouring towns of La Baie and Jonquière have merged together as Ville Saguenay. Eventhough this new name is now the official formal name for the municipality, the older names remained of current use within the population.
