OUR COMMUNITIES - Chisasibi
Where the Road Ends - and Adventure Begins!If you drive to the end of the James Bay highway, you arrive at our modern community of Chisasibi (Cree for "Great River") located on the south shore of the La Grande River. Ours is one of the largest Cree coastal communities with about 4,000 residents. Our community is located close to where the northern forest merges with the arctic barrens and where the waters of James Bay mix with those of Hudson Bay. Given this incredible setting, is it any wonder that there are so many things for visitors to do? Our outfitters can take you by freighter canoe or bush plane to great places for fishing and caribou hunting. Interested in nature and breathtaking scenery? Then travel up the coast with an experienced guide and discover the many fascinating places to explore on foot, canoe, skis, snowshoes or snowmobile. Looking for a cultural experience? How about a short trip to Fort George Island with local elders as guides? Take part in our week-long cultural festival held on the island each summer. Or spend a couple of nights in a traditional bush camp, where you can hear stories and legends and learn a few survival skills.
