James Bay

The southern appendage of Hudson Bay

The Cree people of Chisasibi used to live in Fort George island. However, due to the flooding of the lands around the La Grande River for the James Bay hydroelectric project, the community was relocated to Chisasibi.

To reach James Bay, there is no need to take the ferry. A short drive down a gravel road opens up to a beatiful look of the Bay!

There are a lot of big canoes lying around James Bay. The Cree people use these canoes to travel to their bush camps out on the Bay.
