Saguenay is on the Saguenay fjord off the Saint Lawrence seaway. The fjord was formed by a retreating glacier and is now a protected marine environment sheltering Beluga Whales where they live all year round.
We went to Saguenay national park and did a ranger led hike.

Ha Ha pyramid (named after the nearby river) commemorates the Saguenay flood of 1996 when 12 people died and 16,000 were evacuated. It was conceived as a form of therapy to help residents recover from the trauma of the flood. It’s covered in 3,000 yield signs, based on the similarity of pronunciation of the French words for "to yield" (céder [se.de]) and "to help each other" (s'aider [sɛ.de]).
