COMMUNITY
CARING PROGRAM

We actively collaborate with communities directly or indirectly affected by our projects, in a spirit of transparency and responsibility.

MISSION

MISSION

The Community Caring Committee’s mission is to maintain a structured dialogue between Quebec Iron Ore and stakeholders to ensure transparent oversight of the mine’s activities. It provides a space for local stakeholders to stay informed, voice their concerns, and share their knowledge.

The Committee plays a key role in formulating recommendations and ensuring that Quebec Iron Ore meets its commitments, thereby contributing to the project’s harmonious integration within the host community.

MANDATE

The Community Caring Committee’s mandate is to:

  • Evaluate the different stages of project development in order to identify the impacts and understand the scope of each;

  • Provide a space for discussion and information sharing regarding the conditions, concerns, and effects of the Project on local communities and the surrounding environment; and

  • Assist Quebec Iron Ore in developing mitigation measures for the Project’s key impacts on local communities and the environment, ensuring that these measures are appropriate and adequately address the needs of affected communities.

An engaged Committee helps Quebec Iron Ore understand the Project’s impact on the region and its communities and contributes to addressing identified issues in a concrete and effective manner, when necessary.
