Chapais clubhouse 

Not exactly sure what your asking for a place to stay or just stop and eat. You indicate that your spending the night at the Marina in Chibougamau which I’m sure is fine. Haven’t personally stayed there but know many who have. Lebel-Sur to Chibougamau is pretty much a long straight run with a “whole lotta nothing “ in between. Heading east out of Lebel there is a clubhouse building out about 12-15 miles that’s usually never open. The next thing you will run into is the very small enclave of Miquelon, a very small Native Indian campground. Might not be anyone around but if there are make sure you tell them Chris from NY wishes them all well and that I’m very saddened on Sammy Blacksmiths recent passing. May you always fly with the eagles now my friend.
15 miles or so past Miquelon you will HAVE TO stop at the depanneur in Desmairsville. Nancy has most anything you will need including crazy priced gasoline. It’s a haul from there into the Chapais clubhouse but it’s one you don’t want to miss. One of my favorites. Good food and atmosphere and a lot of locals drive their cars in there. I always stay in Chapais at the Hotel Opemiska (another one of my favs) and know Isabel the owner quite well.
while up in Chibougamau try and do the loop trail that circles around the west side of town. Cool trail for sure.
your drop down from Chibougamau to Roberval is long (150 miles or so) with no gas this year. Be prepared. And again, literally nothing out there so if you’re in trouble pray that someone else is coming through. And my best advice while doing this whole run is that if anyone in your group has a higher mileage 2 stroke to remember to back off the wick from time to time. That 93 has claimed a lot of engines in its day. 🙂

Ottawa (AFP) – Canada's Saskatchewan province announced Tuesday the lifting of all Covid restrictions including wearing of masks and proof of vaccination for indoor dining -- as truckers continued occupying Ottawa with similar demands.
 
Alberta was expected to soon follow suit -- despite some pushback from doctors and nurses -- while Quebec announced it would move up the loosening of restrictions.
Most of the Saskatchewan measures introduced in September, when the Delta variant of Covid-19 was spreading across Canada, will end at midnight on Sunday.
Indoor masking requirements and quarantines for anyone who tests positive, however, will remain in place until the end of the month.
"This policy has run its course," Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said.
The premier noted that more than 80 percent of Saskatchewan residents had received two Covid vaccine jabs, and about half got a booster -- similar to data for the country as a whole -- and that it was now time to treat Covid as endemic.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has proposed a phased removal of pandemic restrictions in his province. He is to provide details this week.
Meanwhile Quebec Premier Francois Legault signaled on Tuesday the lifting of Covid measures in his jurisdiction by mid-March.
"We will need to learn to live with the virus. There may be a sixth wave eventually, but we will have to live with Covid," Legault said, pointing to falling Covid hospitalizations.
Moe, who contracted Covid last month, has endorsed a convoy of truckers that converged on Ottawa to call for an end to vaccine mandates for travel between Canada and the United States.
Vaccine mandates for travelers are set by the federal government, but most other Covid measures are the responsibility of provincial authorities.
"It's time," he'd said in a video address last week for Canadians to regain their freedom and to be "getting your life back to normal."
