Welcoming guests is a tradition at Hydro-Québec,
one of the largest electricity companies in North
America. Hydro-Québec produces, transports
and distributes almost all the electricity used
in Québec. Nearly 96% of its production
comes from hydroelectric power stations, half
of which is produced by the installations of the
La Grande River. Hydro-Québec maintains
an open invitation to visit its Information Centre
in the Pierre-Radisson Complex. This permanent
exhibition offers interesting perspectives on
the natural and human environments that make up
the James Bay territory. It is also an opportunity
to increase your knowledge of Nature and the production
and transportation of electricity: it is the perfect
introduction to a tour of the power stations.
Schedule open all year round with reservations.
Average length of tour: 45 minutes. Cost: free.
Tel.: (819) 638-8486 or toll free in Québec:
1-800-291-8486
Several sporting and cultural services are
located inside the Pierre-Radisson complex where
a semi-Olympic swimming pool is found, a double
gymnasium and an arts & crafts workshop.
This SDBJ
owned and operated complex is also home to the
"Comptoirs forestiers du Québec"
de Radisson, the post office and a grocery store.
