At the request of an avid angler and cottager in the area north of Lac-Saint-Jean, a small team from Resolute took on the task of unblocking a culvert in the Lapointe River, which is used by speckled trout to spawn.
The block was caused by the accumulation of branches and debris caused by this summer’s heavy rainfall. Although Resolute doesn’t operate in this area, our people were happy to help the trout do their thing just in time for the spawning period.
The photos show how our industry and the Innu community of Mashteuiatsh worked well together to give nature a helping hand.
