This summer, visit one of Hydro-Québec's 13 facilities throughout Québec. They offer scores of rewarding activities
for the whole family!
Head for adventure at James Bay
Enjoy a change of scene when you visit the Robert-Bourassa hydro-electric development, a full 1,350 km away from city life. Experience the awe of standing at the foot of the vast spillway nicknamed the giant's staircase, with each of its 10 steps the size of two football fields! Then find yourself in the heart of the largest underground generating station in the world, an immense cathedral-like structure carved 140 m deep into the bedrock.
Take off to the Magdalens
Add the Îles-de-la-Madeleine generating station to your list. Located 225 km from the Gaspé Peninsula in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it's the largest thermal generating station in Québec.
How about Abitibi-Témiscamingue?
If you're off to Abitibi-Témiscamingue, don't forget to stop in Rouyn-Noranda to visit the training and telecontrol centres. With the help of models, demonstrations and life-size equipment, you'll gain a better understanding of how electricity is generated.
Don't forget Manicouagan!
The magic of the Daniel-Johnson dam, the largest multiple-arch-and-buttress dam in the world, awaits you 200 km from Baie-Comeau. Admire Québec engineering on a grand scale, and the unique architecture that results.
