My Comment: I love Sept-Iles. Its isolation and frontier atmosphere has always been an attraction to me .... especially seeing the ships that pass through on their way into the Atlantic ocean.
This resignation of 20 doctors will severely impact the region .... and to replace them will take a very long time.
