Virtual guided tours
An interactive experience in real time!
Your students can’t travel to our facilities? Your vocational training class would like to enhance their understanding of electricity? Are you a group of retirees looking for a fun activity?
Keep in mind that Beauharnois generating station, Daniel‑Johnson dam and Manic‑5‑PA generating station can also welcome your group on a virtual tour, no matter where you may be. And it’s free!
Each virtual presentation is held in real time using the Microsoft Teams collaborative platform. Tour participants will be able to ask the guides questions on the spot.

Daniel‑Johnson dam and Manic‑5 generating station
Step aboard a virtual bus and discover a monumental symbol of Québec engineering that’s recognized the world over: the largest multiple arch and buttress dam on the planet. This structure holds back Manicouagan reservoir, a vast body of water that fills an immense crater known as the “eye of Québec.” The dam alone is testament to the bold vision and expertise of its builders.
