Boralex’s facilities are located in the heart of local communities, and the company aims to play an active role in these communities by developing lasting relationships with local stakeholders. That is why Boralex funds philanthropic and sponsorship initiatives near its parks.

Funded projects near the Chemin de Grès park:

  • Esection Orchidée Festival Committee: Support for an initiative that helps the town maintain its “3 Flowers” designation; the town is located at the intersection of several hiking trails and is home to a church designated as a historic monument.
  • Wambaix Town Hall: Contribution toward the cost of installing solar panels on the roof of the community hall.
