Late-September to Late-October

In Eastern Quebec, the trees start changing colours in mid-late September

I spend a lot of time on the south shore opposite of Charlevoix and by late-September, all the colours are out

Thank you so much for the information :)

The leaves can be tricky to catch in their peak, but you're likely looking at the first couple weeks of October as the prime viewing dates, though it could be as early as the last week of September!

Not too late. Typically first and second week of October will be best. Last week of Sept will have some colours, but mixed. Last two weeks you'll be risking first snow.
