Putting down roots in the community

Our "S'enraciner dans la communauté" program has allowed us to offset 137.5 tons of CO2 every year; that's the equivalent of the annual emissions of 30 cars!

We've planted trees in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Venise-en-Québec, where we also installed park equipment at Robert-Aumont park.

This major regional project wouldn't have been possible without the participation of local municipalities and dedicated volunteers: the Fondation Jacques Landry pour l'enfance from Capitaine Luc-Fortin school, the 2595 Cadet Corps from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, as well as our longtime tree-planting partner, Arbres.eco.

We wish to thank our employees and directors who have helped to plant trees in recent years. Your commitment has made all the difference.

Thank you for making the world a greener place, one tree at a time.
