Detailed information
Serving the thriving communities of Chibougamau (ᔑᐳᑲᒨ), Chapais (ᔕᐦᐯᔾ), Ouje-Bougoumou (ᐆᒉᐳᑯᒨ) and Mistissini (ᒥᔅᑎᓯᓃ), the new Chibougamau-Chapais Airport terminal is crafted from locally sourced boreal glulam and cross-laminated timber (CLT), and showcases expansive RAICO timber curtain walls. Complemented by local artwork that honors the rich heritage of the Eeyou Istchee region, the design floods the space with natural light, enhances energy efficiency and reinforces structural integrity.
