While modern industries have diversified, the quiet hum of agricultural machinery can still be heard during harvest seasons, a familiar soundtrack to life in La Pointe-Fortin. The river itself remains a focal point, a place for quiet reflection and a reminder of the enduring connection between the people and the water that has sustained them.
