The historic site of York Factory, where the Hayes River empties into Hudson's Bay, attracts archaeologists, historians, elders and paddlers. The names of those working for the HBC for over 270 years still haunt the walls.
When the HBC abandoned the depot in 1957, First Nations communities were relocated inland, but they still call it home. York Factory continues to draw people year after year for gatherings and pilgrimages to this unique and fragile Canadian treasure.
