Here, the future is being built: groundbreaking ceremony for the new Bécancour center
Last Thursday morning, despite the rain, smiles were present as the Laurentide Controls team, joined by Mrs Lucie Allard, Mayor of Bécancour, and Mr Francois St-Pierre, Project Manager for Groupe Construction Lavigne & Baril, symbolically turned the first shovel of earth on the site of the future service center in the heart of the Vallée de la Transition Énergétique, scheduled to open in autumn 2025.
A press conference followed in the afternoon, at the Auberge Godefroy in Bécancour, to share the news of the new center's upcoming opening with the dignitaries, partners, customers and media in attendance.
We are grateful for everyone's presence at this event, which enabled us to meet key partners and further connect with the Vallée de la transition énergétique community.
More details and photos of the press conference coming soon - stay tuned!
