CITY OF MONTRÉAL

2016

At a turning point in its development, the Downtown sector of Montreal had to establish an integrated and mobilized vision for the future. In order to do this, the Downtown project office gave BC2 the mandate to accompany them in the elaboration of an overall vision for the living environment and the economic vitality of the Downtown area.

BC2’s intervention can be grouped into three categories of tasks: Analysis, consultation and recommendation. The analysis of the living environment focused on themes including development, housing, services, and security. The mandate also brought forth the identification of priority sectors and the identification of initiatives targeted for the development of the Downtown into a complete living environment. The study of economic optimization aimed to propose measures which would allow the Downtown area to obtain its full potential in terms of being an economic driving force within the Montreal Metropolis and region.

CREE NATION GOVERNMENT

2017

The Cree Nation Government wanted to document the economic and social impacts associated with the repair of approximately 300 kilometers of road which provide access to the communities of Waskaganish, Eastmain, Wemindji and Nemaska in Northern Québec.

The mandate given to BC2 was to identify the advantages for the affected communities in order to justify the necessary investments by the Cree Nation Government to execute this work. To do this, the BC2 professionals estimated the economic impacts through a cost-benefit analysis and an economic impact study. The analysis of social impacts was based on the improvement of access to these communities as well as for the development and enhancement of the tourism sector.
