As you heard last week: there is indeed blasting taking place in the neighboring municipalities of Saint-Jean-de-la-Lande and Dégelis. The Parc éolien de la Madawaska is currently under construction and will now send notices to the Town of Haut-Madawaska whenever blasting activities are scheduled. The team will also send us any other relevant information that could impact the Town.

This notice is therefore being shared since blasting activities will take place next week. Although the work is being carried out outside the Town of Haut-Madawaska’s boundaries, explosions may be heard and vibrations may be felt in certain areas within our jurisdiction.

This notice is being issued as a precaution to inform the public and to avoid any concern that these activities might cause.
