James Bay (
French, Baie James) is a large body of water on the southern end of
Hudson Bay in
Canada. Both bodies of water extend from the Arctic Ocean. James Bay borders the provinces of
Quebec and
Ontario; islands within the bay (the largest of which is
Akimiski Island) are currently part of
Nunavut, but the islands have been ceded to Quebec and Ontario in a soon-to-be-signed agreement. The James Bay watershed is the site of several major
hydroelectric projects, and is also a destination for river-based recreation. Several communities are located near or alongside James Bay, including a number of
Aboriginal communities such as the
Kashechewan First Nation and nine communities affiliated with the
Crees of northern Quebec.
