I’m Pretty sure that’s an Dolomedes Tenebrosus (Dark Fishing Spider)

Thanks for helping! We’re all volunteers and all help is beneficial for keeping up with IDs and questions. You might be correct on the ID. Dolomedes Scriptus is also common in Quebec https://bugguide.net/node/view/1578130 The leg bands are paler and narrower. I’m going to temporarily file it to Dolomedes to give time for input on the species.
