Is there a list of hiking shelters in Quebec?
I am looking for possible multi-days hikes in Quebec (Canada) (and beyond but that would be too broad). I keep discovering new places to stay overnight, as there does not seem to be a central list of shelters of the whole province.
By shelter I mean a place shared by multiple people (bookable as a single hiker) and that is specifically made for hikers (or back-country skiers). I.e. hostels, inns and hotels do not qualify.
I would like to know if some website gathers information about all community shelters of Quebec.
In particular, I am thinking of maybe going along the TransCanada trail (but it is not complete so I am not sure there are actually shelters along the way).

The Fédération québécoise de la marche, a non-profit that promotes hiking in Quebec, lists shelters on its site and Facebook page (http://www.fqmarche.qc.ca/ and https://www.facebook.com/pages/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration-qu%C3%A9b%C3%A9coise-de-la-marche/138582999548977).
