The population of Mékinac has access to two versions of the same wind project.
Your Canada is in the MRC For two days to answer citizens’ questions about its controversial project to set up wind turbines and green hydrogen production. We took the information center and we bring it here on the road
explains the director general of your Canada, Éric Gauthier, who wishes to answer questions and hear concerns.

Opponents also install a nearby kiosk to present their own analysis of the project. We have another presentation, because we have another version of the same project
says one of the opponents’ spokespersons, Carole Neil. She does not believe that your Canada delivers all the information to residents. They deliver the information they want to deliver
and according to her, it is more a promotion exercise.

She insists that it is not a demonstration, but rather alternative information to that presented by your. We didn’t want people to be uncomfortable to ask questions
she explains.
The director general of TES, Éric Gauthier, assures that the company wishes to hear citizen concerns. It is thanks to them that we improved the project. It is these opponents, and others, who told us about their fears, their reluctance, certain issues
he assures.
Your Canada wishes to set up 51 wind turbines on the territory of the MRC Two Mekinac.
A similar exercise of communication will be done in the MRC des Chenaux where the project provides 82 wind turbines, but for the moment, the company has few answers to give. The rules for the establishment of wind turbines are not yet officially adopted.
It’s a little harder to arrive and say no, you are not going to see it, or yes, you will see two
indicates Éric Gauthier. We’re going to do it, but just later, when we have more information
he adds.
