By adding its voice to those of the municipality of Rouyn-Noranda and several local organizations, Falco emphasized the importance of holding public hearings for this large-scale project.
Hélène Cartier, Vice-President, Environment, Sustainable Development and Community Relations, commented: " We firmly believe that the active participation by the community and various stakeholders is essential for the development of Falco's Horne 5 Project. The holding of public hearing consultations through the BAPE will ensure a neutral consultation process with greater transparency and ensure that citizens' concerns are heard and responded to ."
Luc Lessard, President and CEO declared, " We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the community for their participation in the public information period. Your commitment and contribution demonstrate the importance placed by the community to ensure that the Project is developed collaboratively and for the benefit of all communities. Integrated into its environment, Falco's Horne 5 Project is expected to generate social and economic benefits for future generations and thus contribute to the development of Rouyn-Noranda and the entire Abitibi-Témiscamingue region ."
