how many caribou in Quebec Canada Province ( last count)?

Trini has given you information about the numbers that are sometimes said to be in different herds. These herds migrate over hundreds of miles. Sometimes the animals are in Ontario, sometimes in Quebec, and sometimes in Labardor. To give a count and say that is how many caribou are in Quebec would be misleading.

The migratory woodland caribou (in Latin, Rangifer tarandus caribou) of Northern Quebec and Labrador live in two wild herds, the Leaf herd with 628,000 individuals and the George River herd with 385,000 individuals. The caribou generally travel upwards of 2,000 km annually and live in an area of about 1,000,000 square kilometres. Some individuals have been observed traveling 6,000 km in a single year.

The caribou population varies considerably, for unknown reasons, and their numbers have apparently peaked in the later decades of each of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The most recent decline at the turn of the 20th century caused much hardship for the Inuit and Cree communities of Nunavik, Quebec, who hunt them for subsistence. By 1950, as few as 5,000 caribou remained in Northern Quebec and Labrador.

The George River herd, south of Ungava Bay, whose numbers reached about 800,000 towards 1993, had about 385,000 individuals in 2001. The Leaf herd in the west, near the coast of Hudson Bay, has grown from 270,000 individuals in 1991 to 628,000 in 2001. Inuit, Cree and southern sport hunters kill about 30,000 caribou each year in Northern Québec.

A much smaller population of migratory woodland caribou, perhaps numbering about 20,000, is found in Northern Ontario, on the coastal plains south of Hudson Bay.
