Passing of Mr. Robert Juneau
It is with deep sadness that SHDM has learned of the passing of Mr. Robert Juneau, a dedicated member of its Board of Directors since 2011.
A man of great rigor, Mr. Juneau played a key role at SHDM, notably as Chairman of the Audit, Finance, and Risk Management Committee. His expertise in accounting and finance, along with his experience in the municipal sector and private industry, were invaluable assets in enabling SHDM to fully fulfill its role while strengthening its financial capacity.
His colleagues and collaborators will remember his kindness, remarkable human qualities, and deep respect for the work of the teams.
The members of the Board of Directors and the entire SHDM team extend their deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
Investing for energy efficiency and tenant comfort!
In 2024, the SHDM undertook major renovation work on three residential buildings in the Sud-Ouest district.
Offering 20 affordable housing units for individuals, couples, and families, this « Pour Tous » building complex received an investment of over $930,000 to replace doors, windows, and certain architectural elements, as well as improve insulation.
These renovations are expected to enhance energy performance by 15% and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17%, contributing to the sustainability of our buildings, reducing our environmental footprint, and maximizing the quality of life for our tenants.
A big thank you to the Capital Assets team for completing this project.
