Have you ever heard of the Relais de la Cache? Located in the Cascapédia River Wildlife Reserve, in the heart of the Gaspé Peninsula, this iconic site has undergone a remarkable transformation thanks to the vision and determination of the Mi’gmaq community. 

In our “First Nations and Business Transfer” video series, we invite you to discover the inspiring story of this multi-service business, presented by Mr. Walter Jerome, Tourism Manager for Gesgapegiag, and Ms. Hollie Larocque, Director of Economic Development for the Mi’gmaq First Nation of Gesgapegiag. 

 

A renewal serving the community 

In 2017, the community of Gesgapegiag acquired the Relais de la Cache with a clear mission: to enhance the territory while stimulating the local economy.
