18 September 2023 -

The project entails 4 km of multi-use trails and 31 km of mountain bike trails, a graphite interpretation center with industrial tours, a service pavilion with a café-boutique, and a lookout point to observe the mining site.In 2022, a lot of progress was made in the project development namely:
- Geolocation of recreational infrastructures and marking of 20 km of trails;
- Preparation of permit and authorization applications;
- Planning of commercial, sustainability, and operational aspects of the site; and
- Submission of multiple grant and sponsorship applications to complement NMG’s financial contribution.
Espace nature Haute-Matawinie is governed by a Board of Directors composed of two citizens of Saint‑Michel-des-Saints, a socioeconomic representative, a representative of the municipality, and two employees of NMG.
The integration project will live on beyond the mine’s life as a legacy for our community.
