Renewable Energy Sources

I was amazed to pass this vehicle on our way from Muskoka to Ottawa.

Keeping eyes peeled, there were more!
It was important to prepare and include all of the paperwork.


While the energy is renewable, it is not cheap to either manufacture the parts, deliver them or install them.

Trois-Rivières — A tale of tenacity

Over its 375-year history, Canada's oldest industrial city has survived boom and bust. Now, Trois-Rivières is reinventing itself again.

The flagship of the city’s new economy is Marmen, a company that manufactures and services metal parts for the energy sector, including oil and gas, metals andmining, pulp and paper, forestry and wind energy. 

The family-run business was started in 1972 as a small machine shop by Fernand Pellerin, who was raised in Cap-de-la-Madeleine. 

Three of Pellerin’s five children now manage the company, which employs nearly 1,000 people in five plants in Trois-Rivières and Matane, on the Gaspé Peninsula. 

Marmen ranks among the top three manufacturers of wind towers in North America, supplying such corporate giants as General Electric.

Massive beasts, on their way to Indiana.
