Resolute President and CEO Leads Fundraising in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean
Traditionally, the company raises funds to benefit local communities in the Quebec and Ontario regions, where it has dozens of operations and thousands of employees
In Quebec’s Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, the company resumed its regular annual fundraising efforts this year, which were paused in 2020 and modified in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On September 9, Resolute’s business partners and employees were invited to join President and CEO Remi Lalonde and other members of the executive team for a unique cycling event: la Grande virée à vélo du president. The event takes place on the Véloroute des bleuets, which loops around Lake Saint-Jean, running through 15 municipalities and the Mashteuiatsh First Nation community, allowing cyclists to view magnificent landscapes and sample regional cuisine along the way. Participants could choose between a 20, 40 or 80 kilometer course, all in support of the various charitable foundations supported by Resolute.
The following day, employees took part in the Défi Déméter, a 5-kilometer obstacle course for individuals or teams. Remi Lalonde served as honorary chair for this event benefitting the Fondation du Cégep de St-Félicien, a local educational institution.
Those initiatives are a source of great pride for all employees and the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean community is very grateful.
