A PLACE OF HISTORY…
Between 1890 and 1930, a population of farmers settled on Pointe Taillon.
In 1925, 52 families lived there and the total population was 307 people.
There were three schools, a cheese factory and a sawmill. When
Lac Saint-Jean became a reservoir lake in 1926, flooding displaced
these families. Abandoned fields and sites where houses once stood
testify to the human occupation of the site.

     CONSERVATION ISSUES
     The phenomenon of shoreline erosion at Parc Pointe-Taillon is
     worrisome. The level of Lac Saint-Jean, which differs the most from
     the natural cycle in the fall, can cause very active erosion of the
     Pointe Taillon shoreline when storms hit. Stabilization structures
     (ripraps, breakwaters, revegetation) were built in collaboration with
     Alcan, now Rio Tinto, to protect wildlife habitats and facilities subject
     to imminent threat. Since 2002, a shoreline monitoring program has
     been conducted annually. A system including 115 terminals was
     installed on the park’s shores to measure the retreat of the shoreline
     and document this phenomenon.

     An agreement in principle was reached between elected officials of
     Lac Saint-Jean, the Pekuakamiulnuatsh First Nation and Rio Tinto on a
     common position regarding participatory management and the level of
     Lac Saint-Jean. It is included as one of the conditions of the shoreline
     stabilization program decree for 2018-2027. When community actors
     agree to work together to find solutions to a problem, there is every
     reason to rejoice and be hopeful.
