Parent, Quebec

Parent is a community in northern Quebec, located in the municipality of La Tuque.

Pop. 500. Founded in 1910. Its name comes from Simon Napoléon Parent, Québec Premier from 1900 to 1905. During the summer, it becomes the supply point for several dozen outfitters, and in the winter it is a major centre for the snowmobile industry. It also has an old radar base from the Dew line. Kruger Sawmill, which employs 150 workers, are the main employer of the region. The Bazin River that flows into it is popular for 5- to 7-day canoe trips that end at the Gatineau River.
