Welcome to the Eastmain workcamp Information Office

Tour of the Information Office

Located at the entrance to the workcamp, the Information Office is a busy place, where you can find out more about the Eastmain-1 hydroelectric development project. A series of panels with photos and accompanying text describes the projects and its implications in a few minutes. Public relations personnel are always on hand to answer your questions and listen to your comments, as well.

Welcoming sessions for new workers

New workers at the Eastmain-1 jobsite are invited to attend a welcoming session when they arrive at the workcamp. The sessions are held from Monday to Saturday, at 4 p.m., at the Information Office. These 50-minute sessions are also offered to all visitors to Eastmain workcamp.

The subjects dealt with during the sessions are:

• Services available in the workcamp

• Safety on the jobsite
• Work underway on the jobsite
• The future of hydroelectric projects in Québec
• Wide-screen presentation of explanatory videos
• Distribution of an information kit and project souvenirs
