Une courte entrevue estivale avec Frédéric Alain, notre directeur de site chez Norderra, sur l’importance de s’impliquer dans la communauté locale.

Plus tôt cet été, Norderra a été fier de commanditer le Festival Eau Grand Air, un rendez-vous annuel qui rassemble une impressionnante programmation musicale et toute la communauté sur le bord de l’eau.

Dans cette entrevue, Frédéric nous explique pourquoi il est important pour Norderra de soutenir les événements locaux et pourquoi nous continuerons à nous impliquer activement dans la communauté de Baie-Comeau.

A short summer interview with Frédéric Alain, our Site Leader at Norderra, on the importance of being part of the local community.

Earlier this summer, Norderra sponsored the Eau Grand Air Festival, an annual celebration featuring an impressive lineup of musicians and bringing the community together on the waterfront.

Here, Frédéric shares why supporting local events matters to Norderra, and why we’re committed to being an active part of the Baie-Comeau community.

Que deviendra Norderra? Voici quelques sources d’inspiration.

Norderra est une plateforme industrielle multimodale développée par le Groupe BMI sur l’ancien site de l’usine de papier de 2 800 acres à Baie-Comeau. Dotée d’infrastructures ferroviaires, portuaires et énergétiques déjà en place, elle est appelée à devenir un maillon clé du corridor canadien des minéraux critiques, reliant les régions riches en ressources de l’Ontario et du Québec à la Voie maritime du Saint-Laurent et des Grands Lacs ainsi qu’aux marchés mondiaux.
Pour Baie-Comeau, cela signifie redonner vie à un site industriel historique et créer de nouvelles possibilités pour la région.

What is Norderra poised to become? Here is some inspiration.

Norderra is a multimodal industrial hub being developed by BMI Group on the 2,800-acre former paper mill site in Baie-Comeau. With rail, port, and power infrastructure already in place, it's designed to become a key link in Canada's Critical Mineral Corridor — connecting the resource-rich regions of Ontario and Quebec to the Great Lakes–Atlantic Seaway and global markets. For Baie-Comeau, it means revitalizing a historic industrial site and creating new opportunities for the region.

Bioveld North's history came alive last week, when we welcomed a family from Germany for a tour.

Their father had been held at the Espanola facility as a Prisoner of War during the Second World War. During their visit, we took them to the historic map room, where prisoners once drew a map of the world from memory. The room also contains photographs documenting daily life at the camp.

As they looked through the collection, they found a photograph of Andrea's father, Günter Müller, was born on July 26, 1920. He passed away when Andrea was just 15 years old, making this a moment she never expected to experience.

It was a surreal and moving reminder that places carry stories long after history has passed. We're grateful to have shared this moment with the family and honoured that Bioveld North continues to preserve this important chapter of Espanola's history.

Andrea's father is pictured here in the historic photo in the front row, second from the left.

For more than a decade, improving food security in Northern Ontario has been a priority for BMI. This year, that vision is taking root.

At Abitibi Connex in Iroquois Falls, in the heart of the Great Canadian Clay Belt, we've been developing an agriculture program to explore the region's potential to support locally grown food.

This growing season, we've planted our first crops of potatoes and oats.

Despite its agricultural potential, just 1.4% of Ontario's Clay Belt is currently under cultivation. At the same time, the average price of farmland in Southern Ontario has significantly increased. As farmland becomes increasingly scarce and expensive, Northern Ontario represents an opportunity that deserves renewed attention.

We believe responsible agricultural development in the North can strengthen local economies, improve regional food security, and create new opportunities for communities across the region.

We're excited to demonstrate what's possible and share our progress as our first season unfolds.

A milestone moment for BMI Industrial as they celebrate their third consecutive year of ISO recertification across our Safety, Environmental, and Quality Management Systems.

This year marked a shift from building the system to making it better, streamlining processes, improving performance, and maximizing efficiency across operations. The progress has been tremendous, and they're just getting started, with even more improvements planned in the months ahead.

Congratulations to the frontline team for their unwavering commitment to safety and operational excellence. This achievement reflects their hard work every day.

Wonderful to host BCBiocarbon, Ozonebio, and the Province of Saskatchewan at Tellentia in Prince Albert.

Great conversations about how legacy pulp mills can become homes for green energy and bioeconomy.

Few things bring Canadians together quite like a shared moment of pride.

Watching our 2026 FIFA World Cup team advance to the Round of 16 has been one of those moments. With players representing communities across the country, others who have chosen Canada as their home, and Indigenous communities recognized as hosts and partners for many of the matches, the tournament reflects one of our greatest strengths: our ability to come together.

Borrowing a line from our incredible team:

It's Our Game Now. 🇨🇦

Happy Canada Day, everyone! See you Saturday!
