Dream and Dare

Gazing up at the sky, you’re sure to be moved by the magnificent spectacle of the stars. Here, not only are dreams dreamt, they’re put into action. After all, innovative initiatives always begin with a dream, such as the first micro-electric network in Quebec which can be found in Saint-Robert-Bellarmin.

Escape and enjoy the outdoors in the Mégantic region. All it takes is a single visit to one of our two national parks to witness the sheer power and freedom of its vast open landscapes. Channeling this power will give you the motivation to push boundaries and get involved.
