Walking west towards James Bay on Riverside Road in Wemindji.  The old Hudson Bay warehouse is the first building on the right. Unloading docks and Hudson Bay Company store (later the Northern Store) were located beside the warehouse. Freighter canoes that people use for travel out on the Bay can be seen parked along the bank. Site of the old clinic is in the treed area near the point.
