The Great Recycling and Northern Development Canal is a long proposed project in the James Bay region of Canada. The project would involve constructing a barrier to separate James Bay from Hudson Bay and thereby create an enormous freshwater reservoir. In addition, the project envisions constructing canals to carry this fresh water to the Great Lakes where it could be further pumped to water-hungry communities across North America.

Proposed in the 1960s by Newfoundland engineer Thomas Kierans, the project briefly captured the imagination of a number of Canadian public figures in the 1980s, including Quebec premier Robert Bourassa. However, it has never been seriously advanced by any government.
