Lac-Saguay is a village municipality in Antoine-Labelle Regional County Municipality in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada.
Its economy is centred on tourism, outdoor recreation, hunting, and fishing.[1]
The municipality is named after the adjacent Lake Saguay, which in turn comes from the Algonquin sagwa, meaning "unblock" or "pour". An alternate explanation is that it comes from saki, meaning "river mouth."[1]
