DEVELOPING THE MOUNTAIN SUSTAINABLY
Big spring clean-up
On May 10, the entire mountain team mobilized for a major clean-up operation. Together, we succeeded in diverting close to 300 cans and bottles from the landfill. In addition, the 90 km travelled by our ATVs during the activity for efficiency purposes were credited towards carbon purchases from Carbone Boréal. It was also an opportunity for employees to bring back their uniforms in order to recuperate their textiles.
USE RESOURCES EFFICIENTLY AND REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
We offer customers the possibility of offsetting their greenhouse gas emissions for their trip to the mountain. The option is suggested when purchasing online. All contributions are donated to Carbone Boréal and will be used to finance plantations located mainly in Quebec’s boreal forest, but also on parcels of unused farmland.
Addition of charging stations
Car-pooling zone
A car-pooling zone is in place in the P1 parking lot of Versant du Village. Around 128 places are reserved for customers traveling with 2 or more people. The area demarcated by green banners is very close to the reception buildings and the foot of the slopes!
Turn Off Your Engine Initiative
A mini sorting center that recycles big!
A small bottle sorting center opened at the mountain in November 2021. Thanks to the Pleins Rayons apprentices who are now employed in the Hygiene and Sanitation and Food Services teams, we have managed to divert over 80,000 bottles from landfill. The returnable cans are then transported to the Granby IGA and the money collected will be reinvested in our sustainable development projects.
Furniture donation
The 3rd floor of the administration building is being renovated. So we took advantage of this major clean-up to give a second life to furniture that would no longer be of use to us. Initially offered to employees, some twenty pieces of furniture and office supplies were finally donated to 6 local organizations.
Keeping construction waste out of landfill
Our teams sort each of our construction materials with a view to recycling them. The Centre de tri de résidus de construction de Bromont then collects them to give them a second life. To date, our efforts have enabled us to divert 87% of our residues from landfill!
