SUCCES STORY: Sustainable outfitters
Among the businesses supported by SADCs and CAEs in their efforts toward sustainable development are about 20 outfitters in Quebec. These outfitters were all facing similar challenges, such as the remoteness of their locations. They were able to receive support from the SADCs and CAEs in their municipalities to help them define their sustainable development needs and create action plans for integrating concrete solutions.
As a result of these actions, several outfitters have already integrated new practices, such as implementing less costly and more efficient electricity supply systems!
The SADC and CAE have been working for more than 40 years for the economic development of the regions of Quebec.
More than 400 professionals and 600 volunteers support innovative projects and businesses for thriving communities.
