Réservoir-Dozois, Quebec
Réservoir-Dozois (French pronunciation: [ʁezɛʁvwaʁ dozwa]) is an unorganized territory in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec, Canada. It is the largest of five unorganized territories in the La Vallée-de-l'Or Regional County Municipality and entirely part of the La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve.
It is named after the Dozois Reservoir, a large reservoir which formed after the construction of the Bourque Dam on the Ottawa River in 1949. In turn, the name Dozois comes from Nazaire-Servule Dozois (1859-1932), a missionary in the Témiscamingue area and assistant general of the Oblates from 1904 to 1932.
Demographics
The territory has had no inhabitants in any census since 1986, except in 1991, when it had a population of 115.
