The Magpie River is a 200-kilometre (120 mi) river in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec which flows from the Labrador Plateau to empty into the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River east of Sept-Îles, Quebec. Since 2008 the Magpie Generating Station has been generating electricity. In 2021, the local municipality of Minganie and the Innu Council of Ekuanitshit decided to grant the Magpie River legal personhood in order to protect it long term, given its appeal for energy producers like Hydro-Quebec and Innergex Renewable Energy.
