James Bay
How The Light Gets In reference: Where Pierre Arnot was stationed as an agent.
Real world location: The James Bay (Baie James) region of northern Quebec is located in northeastern Canada along the eastern side of James Bay. It is a vast wilderness area of taiga/boreal forest, reached by a single road – the James Bay Road.
The shores of James Bay are sparsely populated. On the eastern shore in Quebec there are four coastal communities belonging to the Cree, the indigenous people of the region (from south to north):
Waskaganish
Eastmain
Wemindji
Chisasibi
On the western shore in Ontario there are five coastal communities (from south to north):
Moose Factory
Moosonee
Fort Albany
Kashechewan
Attawapiskat
Since 1971, the government of Quebec has built hydroelectric dams on rivers in the James Bay watershed, notably La Grande and Eastmain rivers.
