The Fondation Harnois Énergies supports organizations and projects that focus on youth and promote health and well-being, physical activity and education. As part of this initiative, we are pleased to introduce the members of our board of directors, chaired by Guillaume Harnois and including four directors: Lysa Bergeron, Elisabeth Karam, Patrice Renaud and Elena Soare. Their expertise will guide the organization's strategic actions and, together, they will ensure rigorous governance in line with the Foundation's mission and values.

'We launched this project with the goal of strengthening our commitment to young people. Encouraging healthy lifestyles and sports is our way of lending a helping hand so they can grow up healthy and thrive every day,' said Guillaume Harnois, President of the Fondation Harnois Énergies.

To support its mission, the Foundation will implement various fundraising activities, including the Richelieu-Harnois Classic, now in its 43rd year.
