Aside from all of the attraction power it gives to our area, the Refuge Pageau, it\u2019s first and foremost a non-profit organization that serves the animals. All of the boarders you can observe are at the Refuge for a reason, and it\u2019s not to entertain you (that is why we do not say \u201cZoo Pageau\u201d, but Refuge Pageau \ud83d\ude09 ).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a2436856152a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/abitibi-temiscamingue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/refuge_pageau_2022leduc_tat_72dpi-1671-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/refuge_pageau_2022leduc_tat_72dpi-1671-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/refuge_pageau_2022leduc_tat_72dpi-1671-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/refuge_pageau_2022leduc_tat_72dpi-1671-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/refuge_pageau_2022leduc_tat_72dpi-1671-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/refuge_pageau_2022leduc_tat_72dpi-1671-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/refuge_pageau_2022leduc_tat_72dpi-1671.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo : Christian Leduc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-boarders\">The boarders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s obviously entertaining and interesting to go explore the Refuge\u2019s trails and meet the animals it shelters. However, it\u2019s not the main reason for their presence among us. There are two categories of boarders at the Refuge: the temporary boarders (i.e. those who will be freed again), and the permanent boarders (i.e. those who must remain in captivity).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, there are two zones at the Refuge, the visited areas (accessible via trails where visitors are allowed) and the isolation zones (where access is reserved to the nursing staff). In the visited areas, the animals are taken care of principally for educational purposes. They all have their own story and\/or their \u201cissues\u201d, but if they are condemned to a life in captivity, it\u2019s to teach people coming to see us what to do and not to do so that other animals can avoid such fate. How could we have acted in a way that would have provided the best conditions to preserve the animal\u2019s autonomy and freedom like we are able to do for so many other animals every year?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a24368562174&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/abitibi-temiscamingue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/refuge pageau(c)pretspourlago lr (1)-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Albi is a boarder at the Refuge Pageau.

Animals who will get back their freedom most of the time, or animals that are not well, whose health is too unstable or uncertain for them to be seen by the visitors. The Refuge Pageau, it\u2019s also this: when we visit this place, we see the good side, healthy animals, and we hear success stories, rarely failures. But failures, sad stories, sick animals, sudden and unexplainable deaths, and euthanasias when there is too much suffering, we experience these often.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a24368562cd1&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large wp-image-1884 wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/abitibi-temiscamingue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/chevreuil-refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Deer at the Refuge Pageau - photo by Christian Leduc\" class=\"wp-image-81003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/chevreuil-refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/chevreuil-refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/chevreuil-refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/chevreuil-refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/chevreuil-refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Deer at the Refuge Pageau.

Our work is often the subject of envy and it is truly desirable! Nobody here will deny that they are lucky to work with wild animals, we are all there because of passion. But, believe us, after a day where we lose a baby we had hoped for and spent a lot of time, energy and love for its well-being, it takes a lot of passion to decide to keep going. We need it, because we are and always will remain uncertain. With wild animals, the uncertainty of living to see the next day is large. Despite all this, we are certain of one thing: these beasts from everywhere whose distress echoes up to our ears, we help them, and will keep helping them to the best of our abilities.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a243685637da&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/abitibi-temiscamingue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Refuge Pageau cr\u00e9dit Christian Leduc\" class=\"wp-image-81005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/atrat.lebleu.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/refuge-pageau-2022-leduc-tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo : Christian Leduc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-visit-at-the-refuge\">A visit at the Refuge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The staff is one thing, but the visitors also have a high importance at the Refuge Pageau.
