Sandy Bay is a northern village in the boreal forest on the shore of Wasawakasik Lake, part of the Churchill River. It grew up around the hydroelectric power station built in the late 1920s to supply power to the smelters and mines in Flin Flon, Manitoba. The community had originally been further downstream on the Churchill River, but residents were encouraged to move near the proposed site of the Island Falls Hydroelectric Station so they could provide labour for its construction.
