Dazemard River
The Dazemard River is a tributary of the east bank of the Wetetnagami River flowing into Senneterre in the RCM of La Vallée-de-l'Or Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Quebec, in Canada. This river crosses successively (from the upstream) the cantons of Souart, Moquin and Effiat. Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second. The Dazemard River Valley is served by the R1015 Forest Road (North-South direction) passing west of the Wetetnagami River Valley; this road joins the road R1051 towards the North (East-West  direction). The surface of the Dazemard River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April. Toponymy. At different times in history, this territory has been occupied by the Attikameks, Algonquins and Cree. The term "Dazemard" is a family name of French origin. The toponym "Dazemard River" was made official on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec, when it was created.
