COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENTS While construction is winding down, BC Hydro’s responsibilities in the Peace region are far from over. The utility has entered into community agreements that provide funding to local governments, helping address project impacts and ensuring long-term benefits for residents. “We are committed to meeting our environmental and social mitigation responsibilities that came with Site C, not just through project completion, but well into the future,” Alexis emphasizes. That commitment includes environmental restoration, land reclamation, and long-term monitoring. It also involves sustained engagement with Indigenous and local communities who were most directly affected by the project. A CENTURY OF CLEAN POWER For the next hundred years, the facility will supply clean, renewable electricity to homes, businesses, and industries across the province. It represents stability in an uncertain time, when energy demand is rising and the need to decarbonize is urgent. It also showcases the enduring role of hydroelectric power in Canada’s energy mix: a resource that provides not only electricity, but economic development, jobs, and long-term resilience. As Alexis reflects, the success of Site C lies in both its capacity and its timing. “Now that Site C is in full operation, it will play a vital role in maintaining a stable, reliable electricity system for the next century.” For more information, please visit www.sitecproject.com 73 NOV 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
