Abitibi—Nunavik – Proposed Boundaries
The name was chosen for the sake of simplicity. The southern part of the electoral district covers part of Abitibi, while Nunavik comprises its northern part. The main city in the electoral district is Val-d'Or. The neighbouring electoral district of Abitibi—Témiscamingue has some large cities, including Amos and Rouyn-Noranda. The word "Abitibi" is already used in the names of two electoral districts on the electoral map established in 2002.
