Partnering with Communities

Following Through on Our Commitments

Hydro-Québec must ensure that the undertakings resulting from consultations and agreements are fulfilled. The company therefore sets up various joint committees or joins existing organizations. In this way, when measures are recommended for a project, it can apply or monitor them, or optimize local economic spinoffs.
