Baie-James (Radisson)

Impressive Attractions

Radisson is one of the only non-Native communities of the province to be located north to the 53^rd parallel. Located in the heart of the La Grande hydroelectric complex, this village will certainly please visitors, fishermen, hunters and nature enthusiasts. You can visit the Robert-Bourassa Power Station Information Centre where you will discover the history of Hydro-Québec. Exhibitions will teach you about the natural and human environments of the James-Bay region and about the production and transportation of electricity.

From this information centre, you can board a bus that will take you to the Robert-Bourassa Facility. This dam will surely impress you. You can also visit the La Grande-1 Power Station, which is just as astonishing. If you want to go shopping, the Native and Inuit artefacts boutique sells Native art objects of all kinds. The owners will even tell you the story and legends associated with each of them.

You can also visit the Robert-A.-Boyd Historic Park where you will find a reconstitution of a G-68 exploration camp. This tent village will make you relive the everyday life of the region’s pioneers. Finally, the Radisson Linear Park and Ecology Trail will allow you to admire the nature and particularities of the northern environment.
