Airport contact
Air Liaison operates the provincially subsidized scheduled Twin Otter service linking La Tabatière to other Lower North Shore communities (e.g. Chevery, Tête-à-la-Baleine, La Romaine). The village (part of Gros-Mécatina, whose place names derive from Innu, though the community itself is not a First Nations reserve) has no road connection to the rest of Quebec — the airport, together with a weekly Bella Desgagnés coastal ferry, is the only year-round link to the outside world.
