History
The "Company St Laurence Paper Ltd" held exclusive fishing rights on the rivers Great Trinity and Little Trinity from 1930s to early 1960s, when it has assigned its rights to Domtar. Formerly, many wealthy people have joined the Domtar exclusive club. In May 1976, the Trinity River was released, after about half a century of exclusive lease for end to private, where only the leaders and guests of the company had the privilege to access it. Several speakers from the public yearned to participate in the management of wildlife, recreation and tourism resources of the area. Following representations of Baie-Trinité citizens, the MTCP has transferred property, facilities and proprietary rights of the Company to "Société d'Aménagement de Baie-Trinité inc" newly formed. At the time, this new mode of management of a salmon river by a non-profit set a precedent. In 1978, the "réserve de chasse et pêche de Baie-Trinité" was created through an order in council, adding the two existing reserves a territory of 356 square kilometers. Subsequently, the Trinity River has achieved the status of zone d'exploitation contrôlée or the Rivière de la Trinité. In 1982, due to its geographical location, its relative importance and its facilities, the Great Trinity River served as a dedicated study area for salmon. This project was made possible with the proper operation of the fish ladder at the dam of the same Great Trinity River. This project allows the Company that manages the River Grande Trinity to keep a high potentialfor the future of salmon. Since the founding of the "Development of Trinity Bay Company," the presidents who have succeeded are: Jacques Landry, Louis C. Roussy, Richard Dion, Georges Gagnon and Denis Lejeune. Many salmon anglers now set their sights on the river, so attending annually. Located on the north bank of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 95 kilometers from Baie-Comeau, the river flows from north to south on 74 miles before emptying into the Bay to height of the town of Baie-Trinité
