Onimiki Renewable Energy is holding various information and consultation activities regarding its hydroelectric power plant project in Témiscamingue.
The public meetings enable the entire population and members of the First Nations communities to learn more about the project, ask questions and make comments.
Targeted meetings allow for more specific questions to be addressed to certain interest groups. These organizations represent the interests of the population and provide relevant points of view that are useful for the development of the project.
All these meetings will contribute to the impact study, which is expected to be submitted towards the end of 2025 or the beginning of 2026.
All the matches held are listed below. The table is updated as new matches take place.
