Wabimeig

Wabimeig is a lake and creek in the wooded interior of the Albany River basin, far from the river's mouth on James Bay. Their name is of Ojibwe origin. The waterways lie in a country long used by Indigenous families for hunting and travel. In 1743 the Hudson's Bay Company established Henley House at the junction of the Albany and Kenogami rivers, giving inland hunters a trading post closer than the forts on the bay.
