Is this the right Chibougamau? Wikipedia on Chibougamau:Chibougamau is a town in central Quebec, Canada, located on Lake Gilman. It has a population of 7,563 people (Canada 2006 Census), which makes it the largest community in northern Quebec. Because of its remoteness from the Lac Saint-Jean area (over 200 km south-east) and from the Abitibi-T�miscamingue area (over 250 km south-west), it serves as the centre of services for the few small communities surrounding it (Mistissini and Chapais) and for the regional resource-based industries.
Close by are Lake Aux Dor�s and the vast Lake Chibougamau, after which the town was named. The name Chibougamau comes from the Cree language meaning "Crossed by a river". The nearby Cree village of Ouj�-Bougoumou is a more traditional Cree spelling of the same name.
