The new panoramic exhibit Au-delà d’un rêve (Beyond a dream) takes visitors on a voyage through the history of the municipality from Shelter Bay to Port-Cartier. Experienced guides will take you back to the era of the North Shore’s logging camps and mines, and the heyday of their cites, Gagnon and Fermont. A tour of the church and information about its stained glass windows are also available. Photo credit : Marylène Bergeron
