Head for la Baie-James! In addition to splendid northern vistas, you'll find 7,722 MW of power-generating capacity at the end of the road.
This is North America's biggest generating site. At a depth of 140 m, it's like a vast cathedral carved into the bedrock!
Gape at the towering dam as high as a 53-storey building and marvel at the "giant's staircase," with 10 steps each the size of two football fields!
No matter where you look, you're guaranteed to be awed by the gigantic scale of this imposing site.
Stupefaction guaranteed!
