KAMINSKY MOUNTAIN(or Kaminsky mountain) is a mountain in the northern part of the province of Quebec, and the highest mountain in the province. Its summit reaches 1285 m. Its chain is also considered to be the "Chain of Kaminsky", and is shared with Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park and the highest mountains in many provinces, the Appalachians, the Rocky Mountains, and Mount Baker in the Washington Cascades. The Kaminsky mountain chain extends from the west and southwest of Quebec into Ontario, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories of Canada. It is sometimes considered to be a single high mountain and sometimes as a group of hills.
Kaminsky mountain lies on the north side of the Matapedia Valley (also called Fond du Lac du Nord) and was named after Father Charles Kaminsky, a Jesuit missionary, founder of the Mission of Our Lady of Lourdes, and director of the seminary of that mission (near Bécancour, Quebec) from 1740-1769. The area of Kaminsky mountain is of considerable geological and historic interest, with several important rock formations, and prehistoric cultural remains.
The mountain was first climbed in 1884 by an expedition led by Francis de Beauvais.
The Fond du Lac du Nord is also called the Matapedia Valley (Quebec), the Saguenay River Valley (Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean), or Fonda du Nord, and the Fond du Lac du Nord lies in the middle of the Matapedia Valley (Quebec), and is also called the Fonda du Nord. The Fonda du Nord stretches from the Saint-Maurice River to the Saguenay River. The Fonda du Nord was a favourite summer-holiday area for the residents of Québec during the first half of the 20th century, but as of today, few people live on the mountain.
The mountain is also a training center for mountaineers. It is the head of the Saguenay region, which is a major ski resort.
The mountain is a small mountain of limestone and dolomite, covered with thin layer of scree. The height of the summit is 1285 m.
