Secteur du Québec de la Force terrestre (SQFT)

Land Forces Quebec Area (LFQA) is home to 2 CRPG and covers Quebec. Its headquarters is located in St-Jean.

There are 696 Canadian Rangers in 2 CRPG, located in 23 patrols or communities.

There are 585 Junior Canadian Rangers in 2 CRPG, located in 27 patrols or communities.

There is a strong Canadian Ranger and Junior Canadian Ranger presence in the province of Quebec. Without exception, every community in the north and on the coast that is eligible to offer the Junior Canadian Ranger Programme does so with great enthusiasm. In fact, 2 CRPG is one of only two areas of the country to offer a summer training program to its Junior Canadian Rangers.

The Kativik Regional Governement is also a strong supporter of the two organizations, and has often made financial contributions to ensure its success.

The demographics of the Canadian Rangers in 2 CRPG varies from community to community. Many Canadian Rangers speak only Inuktitut, while others are Francophone, Anglophone, or speak Cree or Montagnais as their primary language. Many of the younger Canadian Rangers are fluently bilingual or even trilingual, and are able to assist their elders in communicating with visitors from the south.

Canadian Rangers in 2 CRPG received the CDS (Chief of the Defence Staff) Commendation for their life-saving actions after the 1999 avalanche that destroyed a school in Kangiqsulluajuaq.
