It is named after the Dozois Reservoir, a large reservoir which formed after the construction of the Bourque Dam on the Ottawa River in 1949. In turn, the name Dozois comes from Nazaire-Servule Dozois (1859-1932), a missionary in the Témiscamingue area and assistant general of the Oblates from 1904 to 1932.[4]
