MONTREAL — The Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec (CDPQ) has announced is it investing $8.7 million to support the expansion of the sustainable design capabilities of the architectural firm Lemay.
A June 22 release explained that the funding will enable Lemay to expand its Net Positive program, which involves assessing the impact of projects on health, the environment and carbon reduction.
