Ubiquitous nature and an imposing landscape.
The Baie-Comeau region boasts engineering masterpieces in the realm of hydroelectricity, including the dams at the Manic-Outardes hydroelectric complex. These gigantic works characterize Baie-Comeau as ‘a company town'.
The development of the Baie-Comeau region was bolstered by the industrialization of modern Québec by means of its natural resources. The presence of the Saint Lawrence River, forestry, the creation of saw and paper mills, and the emergence of a world class aluminum smelter all led to the expansion of the territory.
