Montmagny (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃maɲi] ⓘ) is a city in the Montmagny Regional County Municipality within the Chaudière-Appalaches region of Quebec, Canada. It is the county seat and had a population, as of the Canada 2021 Census, of 10,999.

The city is on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River, east of Quebec City, and was founded more than 350 years ago. It is Canada's Snow Goose Capital, and festivals include the International Accordion Festival in September and the Festival of the Snow Geese in October.

The city was named after Charles de Montmagny, the first to have the title of governor of New France; Samuel de Champlain was commander in chief.

Montmagny was the county seat of the former Montmagny County.

Geography

Chutes de la Rivière du Sud

Montmagny is northwest of the Notre Dame Mountains, more commonly but unofficially called the Canadian extension of the Green Mountains as they are called in New England. While Mont Notre Dame is the official name, the vast majority of people living in the area stretching from Quebec City to the Gaspé Peninsula refer to them as simply "the Appalachians" (French: les Appalaches), the origin of the official designation of the region comprising Quebec City's South Shore suburbia to the US border to the east and the northeast, which is known as Chaudière-Appalaches, after the mountains and the main river flowing down from them into the St. Lawrence River

The city of Montmagny itself is divided by the South River (French: Rivière du Sud), where a smaller river, Bras-Saint-Nicolas, merges into it. The confluence of waters swells into a set of falls, leading to discharge into the Saint-Lawrence a short distance west of the city.

Montmagny is the seat of the judicial district of Montmagny. [4]

Researchers have studied the intertidal marshes of the St. Lawrence estuary at Montmagny.[5]

Economy

The industrial sector is the backbone of the economy. However, the city lost many jobs when Whirlpool closed its activities on May 13, 2004, incurring the loss of 600 jobs. The city has rebounded from that period. Textile industry has also made employment for decades. A post-secondary institution, The Centre d'études collégiales de Montmagny, a hospital, named Hôtel-Dieu de Montmagny, and a provincial jail are part of the economy.

Condition index in fish

The condition index in fish is a way to measure the overall health of a fish by comparing its weight with the typical weight of other fish of the same kind and of the same length. The condition index is its actual weight divided by its expected weight, times 100%. A fish of normal weight has a condition index of 100 percent. So if a tarpon, for example, has a condition index of 104 percent, that would mean it is above the normal weight for an average tarpon of that length. If a tarpon has a c...
