HIT THE ROAD WITH THE POST-SYMPOSIUM EXCURSION TO JAMES BAY.
This excursion will provide a unique opportunity to enjoy and discover Northern Quebec. Participants will travel the 620 km James Bay highway from Matagami to the town of Radisson, site of the world's largest underground generating station. Along the way, they will discover black spruce forest and taiga ecosystems, large areas affected by forest fires and a number of stops in natural and managed forests where work conducted by Quebec researchers will be discussed. The 3 day excursion also includes a visit of the Eastmain-1-A/Sarcelle/Rupert hydroelectric project and the Robert-Bourassa hydroelectric station. Cree elders in the town of Chisasibi will meet participants and provide an introduction to the Cree way of life. The tour is limited to 20 participants. Make sure they don't leave without you.
